The Yankees shared a video of the Tony Award-winning actress singing the anthem via X (formerly Twitter). 

“Thank you to Tony-Award Winning Actress Lea Salonga for tonight's beautiful rendition of our National Anthem,” the caption read.

On Instagram Stories, Lea shared the video of her performance and thanked the Yankees for having her. 

“Thanks for having me! Go NYY!” she wrote.

Lea currently stars in “Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends” on Broadway, for which she has also received a nomination for the Distinguished Performance Award at the 2025 Drama League Awards.

She is set to star in the Philippine staging of "Into the Woods" in August. She will play The Witch, while her child, Nic Chien, will portray the role of Jack.
