<p>Lea Salonga has paved the way for countless Pinoy artists to dream big and reach the international stage after playing Kim in the 1989 staging of <em>Miss Saigon</em> on London’s West End. Although it has been 25 years since she played Kim, the Tony award-winning actress gave her longtime fans a treat when she officially released a fresh, dance remix of the song from <em>Miss Saigon</em>, “The Last Night of the World,” last June 24 across all streaming platforms. </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ75aT7Cl1p/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A132482.19999999995%2C%22ls%22%3A45334.09999999986%2C%22le%22%3A45670.19999999995%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/4/3/lea-salonga-shares-how-she-supported-her-child-nic-chien-into-transitioning-1529"><strong>READ: Lea Salonga shares how she supported her child Nic Chien into transitioning</strong></a></div><p>In her Instagram post, Lea wrote, “Music has always been about connection, love, and hope. 🌈</p><p>This Pride Month, I’m so happy to share the release of The Last Night of the World (Dance Version)—a new celebration of a song that has meant so much to so many over the years. Dance, celebrate, love freely, and stream now. ❤️🏳️‍🌈✨”</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/6/14/lea-salonga-attends-arirang-concert-of-bts-in-busan-1623"><strong>READ: Lea Salonga attends ‘Arirang’ concert of BTS in Busan</strong></a></div><p>The new Pride remix version of the song was produced by Devin Lewis and remixed by Christopher Hewitt. </p><p>Lea also shared that those who help support the song will also be contributing to a worthy cause. She added, “Even more meaningful: proceeds from the song will benefit the ACLU and their ongoing work to protect the rights and freedoms of LGBTQ+ communities and all people.”</p><p>Last year, Lea talked to PEOPLE magazine in an exclusive interview about how she supported her only son, Nic, throughout his transition journey after he came out as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.</p><p>“Every child that comes into this world is different. You have to meet your kid where they are. As a parent, I want to set my child up for success. I want my child to feel safe and strong and ready to conquer the world on their own terms. Parenting doesn’t come without expectations. Homework needs to get done… I&#x27;m glad that this kid can cook and do his own laundry and doesn&#x27;t forget to feed the cat! But really, the one thing that I&#x27;ve learned is that you have to raise your child the way your child needs to be raised.”</p><p>Apart from her newly released single, Lea is also one of the international artists featured in the soundtrack on Dreamworks Animation&#x27;s upcoming film <em>Forgotten Island</em> along with H.E.R., BINI, and KATSEYE leader Sophia Laforteza.</p>
