Be nice to each other and thank you. Soldiers, we honor your service on this
Veteran's Day. Welcome to the #Ham4Ham show this Wednesday. I can guarantee a traffic jam on 46th Street. If you don't have
room here, you're gonna be able to hear us across the street, that's also no
issue. I'm very thrilled to be here today because on Sunday night I saw a show
that made me cry a whole lot. It's called Allegiance. And I'm a lifelong fan
of this next performer. She is a living legend. Here's Lea.
Lea Salonga!
Oh my Lord, look at that!
There's so many people here, you weren't kidding!
Hi everybody!
You know sometimes the show is for you and sometimes the show is for me.
I have sung with Stephen Trask, I have sung The Confrontation from Les Miz with the great Kyle Jean-Baptiste.
We're singing A Whole New World. But before that I wanted to
surprise Lin today. The reason I'm doing this -- I am friends with
one of his ex-girlfriends. Did you guys go in college? Yeah, in college.
She was the original Nina in In The Heights and served as inspiration for it so I sent her a
message and asked her, "Is there anything that I can do at #Ham4Ham that would really knock
his socks off?" I like my socks the way they are. And so she sent me this. You guys ready?
Alright. Hopefully I do it justice. You can totally know what this is. I will do
justice to it, I'll do the best I can. Alright.
That's a song I wrote for my girlfriend in college.
I was really trying to date her. And you did! Okay now that I'm totally mortified, let's
sing A Whole New World.
