In a Facebook post, Lea revealed that she will leave the Philippines soon to attend the prestigious ceremony. She wrote: “I’m leaving on a jet plane tonight… FOR [TONY AWARDS]!!! It’s official, I’ll be presenting at the Tony Awards this Sunday, June 11! It’s theater’s biggest night, and I am thrilled to be heading there!!!”
She even expressed her excitement as she will be taking selfies with her fellow Broadway artists. She posted on her Twitter account, “Making a list in my head of the selfies I intend to take on Sunday!”
The Broadway artist also posted a tweet addressing to Rachel Bloom, the star of the US television show “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” where Lea guest-starred in during its first season’s finale.
She then tweeted a shoutout to Lin-Manuel Miranda, best known for his work on the ground-breaking musical “Hamilton” and also a multi-awarded Tony Award winner.
Back in 1991, the 46-year-old bagged that Best Actress in a Musical award for her role as Kim in “Miss Saigon” — making her the first Asian artist to win a Tony Award.
The Tony Awards 2017 will be hosted by multi-awarded Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey.
