It’s true na nakasama pala sa Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade sa New York City last November 28 ang Filipino Broadway star na si Lea Salonga.
Nakasakay si Lea sa float ng Sesame Street at kinanta niya ang “Sing” kasama ang cast at mga muppets ng show.
“No, it wasn’t a sunny day, and it would’ve been great if the clouds were swept away, but today’s @macys Thanksgiving Day Parade was still such a wonderful highlight!" post pa ni Lea sa kanyang Instagram page.
Nagpasalamat din ang Tony Award-winning singer sa Sesame Street dahil sinama siya sa kanilang float.
"Thank you, @sesamestreet, this was truly very special, and thank you for plastering the biggest smile on my child’s face. Nic (Lea's daughter) will not be able to erase that smile for a while!" post pa niya.

LEA FIGURES IN NBC BLOOPER
Samantala, ibinalita naman ng ew.com ang blooper ng telecast ng NBC kung saan na-identify ang Sesame Street cast member na si Olivia Perez bilang Lea Salonga.
Saad sa report, "When the footage turned to Sesame Street cast member Olivia Perez, NBC flashed a title card that read "Lea Salonga," though Salonga — a Tony-winning actress known for her roles on stage — was not in the shot."
Taong 1993 nang magkaroon ng guest appearance si Lea sa Sesame Street. This was two years after niyang manalo ng Tony Award for Miss Saigon as Best Lead Actress in a Musical.
Kabilang naman si Anne Curtis na mga natuwa noong mapanood si Lea sa Macy's Thanksgiving Parade experience.
"So cool! A childhood dream!!!! ??" comment ni Anne.
Katatapos lang ni Lea sa kanyang Manila leg for Stage, Screen and Everything In Between concert sa Solaire Resort last November 4 to 7.
"Oh Manila, thank you! Thank you for being so generous with us during Stage, Screen and Everything In Between at @solaireresort!!" pagpapasalamat ni Lea
Kasalukuyang on tour si Lea sa US para sa kanyang Christmas album na Sounding Joy.
Muling babalik si Lea on December 31 para sa New Year’s Eve Party sa Solaire Resort.
