Watch as the two Broadway stars bring their rendition of “Almost Paradise” from the movie “Footloose.”
Every '80s baby knows that Footloose not only catapulted Kevin Bacon to stardom but also made musical hits thanks to its groovy soundtrack.
In particular, its love theme song “Almost Paradise,” performed by Mike Reno and Ann Wilson, became one of the three top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 during its airing.
More than three decades later, Broadway stars Lea Salonga and Jeremy Jordan are giving their twist to the popular track.
Uploaded on Lea's personal Instagram account, the two performers sing the beautiful duet at the safety and comfort of their homes.
“Thanks to the handsome and talented @jeremyjordan for dueting with me!” Lea wrote on Instagram.
As of this writing, Lea's post has already received more than 180,000 views, with fans complimenting that the two should release more material in the coming future.
Lea Salonga is known for playing the role of Kim in the hit theater musical “Miss Saigon,” for which she won both an Olivier and a Tony Award. She was also the first Asian to play the role of Eponine in the Broadway version of “Les Miserables.”
American actor Jeremy Jordan is known for his many stints in theater, including “West Side Story” and “Bonnie and Clyde.” He later made his television appearance in several American series such as “Law & Order,” “Smash,” “Elementary,” and “Supergirl.”
