@sfbayshows OMG!!!
I'd actually consider driving into SF to see #LeaSalonga to sing in person!! 
Any tixs left? Checking now . . .
Update:
Thank-goodness. Sold out but for a couple of seats that I don't want to pay for. I could buy 6-10 CDs of her CDs for the price of a seat.
I'll buy the CDs instead.

Lyrically, "A Whole New World" describes Aladdin showing the confined princess a life of freedom.
