the Broadway production of Here Lies Love for a five-week run in the summer of 2023 in the role of Aurora Aquino, mother of Ninoy Aquino. The production will notably mark the first time Salonga has played a Filipino role on the Broadway stage and will mark her return to the Broadway Theatre where Miss Saigon played. She is scheduled to return to London's West End in the Stephen Sondheim tribute revue Old Friends, which is set to run at the Gielgud Theatre from September 16, 2023 to January 6, 2024. Salonga currently portrays Elodie Honrada, a main character in the critically acclaimed HBO Max series Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, which has been renewed for a second season. Artistry Musical style and themes In her popular music releases, Salonga has sung "simple love songs," which are common in Original Pilipino Music. Influences Salonga's style and music has been inspired by musical artists such as ABBA, the Carpenters (particularly Karen Carpenter), Olivia Newton-John, the Osmonds, Elaine Paige, and Barbra Streisand. She has noted that these performers provided "clear voices that really helped the listener focus on the lyrics besides the tone and music." Salonga has repeatedly praised Streisand as one of her favorites for her "mammoth" career in singing, acting, producing, and arranging. During her January 15, 2000 concert at the Philippine International Convention Center, Salonga called Streisand one of her idols. Voice Salonga has been praised for her absolute pitch and control over her powerful vocals, which can evoke a wide array of emotion and soundscapes. Her voice has been described as "golden" by Marilyn Stasio for Variety magazine and "clear and as sparkling as Baccarat crystal" by Rex Reed for Observer. Due to her vocal versatility, it is often debated on what her vocal range and type classifications are. When Salonga performed as Kim in Miss Saigon, she was expected to utilize most of her range, hitting notes as low as E3 and as high as D5. In both Disney Princess singing roles, Jasmine and Mulan, Salonga uses head tones that reach up to F5. Salonga has been recorded singing notes ranging from D3 to C6. Other ventures Philanthropy and activism On October 15, 2010, Salonga was appointed Goodwill Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Salonga has been openly supportive of LGBT equality for many years. On October 12, 2009, during a
