Lea Salonga Addressed Fans Having Boundaries With Performers After People Snuck Backstage At Her Recent Broadway Show
Lea Salonga is arguably one of the most adored Broadway and Disney stars, in my opinion. She’s best known for originating the role of Kim in Miss Saigon on Broadway, and she’s provided the singing voice for two Disney princesses: Jasmine and Mulan.

Here Lies Love is also known for its unique seating style inside the Broadway theater. Fans can either sit in the mezzanine, gallery, or club lounge, or elect to purchase standing tickets so they can be immersed within the action on the dance floor.
CBS Sunday Morning / Via youtu.beWhile the production allows fans to be up close and personal with the performers, proper etiquette is still a must. While most people are no doubt respectful of this Broadway experience, Lea recently had a, frankly, bizarre scenario happen that required her to address respecting people’s boundaries.

CBS Sunday Morning / Via youtu.beIn a video posted by NBC New York, you can see people come to Lea’s dressing room and say they are fans who want to meet her. Lea, very politely, tells the group, “Unless you are on the guest list, we cannot have you back here. So, you’ll have to go to the door. I’m sorry because if I allow this now, then other people are going to take advantage.”

Lea tells the group they aren’t on the guest list, apologizes again, and she offers to meet them by the exit door, and tells them to “please, don’t do this again.”

CBS Sunday Morning / Via youtu.be“The money you pay for a theater/concert ticket does not mean all-access,” Lea tweeted in response to a fan who called out how the group kept saying how much they paid for their tickets. “You pay for that performer’s art, and that’s where it stops.”
Walter Mcbride / WireImage / Getty ImagesLea even added that she checked in with Here Lies Love producer Giselle Töngi, whom the group claimed to have known, and she “had no idea who they were.”
CBS Sunday Morning / Via youtu.beAlso, Lea revealed that the same group that came to her dressing room “rushed” to her on the dance floor after the show, and “security had to surround [her] at that point because they got scared.”
CBS Sunday Morning / Via youtu.be“Everyone on the dance floor that saw it was horrified and kept asking if I was okay,” she added.
In another tweet, Lea said, “When one of our lead producers and our dance captain saw the video and learned about what happened, they said, ‘You were still very nice, if that were me, I would’ve cussed at them and kicked them out.’ I’m not the type to cuss people out, but I will protect my territory and my boundaries. If I lose fans as a result, so be it.”
CBS Sunday Morning / Via youtu.be“Boundaries exist for every human being,” she tweeted. “And once they’re crossed, there will be consequences.”
Bruce Glikas / Getty ImagesLea also made sure to give props to the fans who follow proper Broadway show etiquette, namely waiting patiently outside the stage door for performers to come and sign Playbills, take photos, etc.
Debra L Rothenberg / WireImage / Getty Images“I gotta say, the folks at the stage door have been so incredibly kind, which only makes us (well, me) enthusiastic to say hello and spend the time to talk to them,” she tweeted.
Bruce Glikas / Getty ImagesThis Broadway incident also comes after a string of concerts where performers like Bebe Rexha, Kelsea Ballerini, Harry Styles, and more have been hit by objects people have thrown at them onstage.
I can’t believe I even have to say this, but whether it’s a concert, a Broadway show, or ANY live event, the performers deserve to be respected.
