The Human Heart Tour was a two-leg concert tour by Filipino singer Lea Salonga. The tour was titled after the Once on This Island song, "The Human Heart." [1] The North American leg of the tour officially began on April 5, 2019 in Costa Mesa, California and ended on May 25, 2019 in Richmond, British Columbia. [2] Salonga then transferred the tour to Europe, beginning performances on July 7, 2019 in Cardiff, Wales and ending on July 21, 2019 in London, England, with a duet including special guest Rachelle Ann Go.

The tour was originally intended to launch on February 8, 2019 in Hong Kong, followed by dates in Singapore; however, the Asian leg was cancelled due to a skiing accident in Japan which resulted in Salonga breaking her leg. [5] [6] [7] The injury also resulted in the rescheduling of the European leg of the summer, which was originally intended to launch on February 26, 2019 in Manchester, England.
Michael James Rocha with The San Diego Union-Tribune wrote that Salonga's performance was "flawless," noting her "precise" vocal diction and "crystalline" voice. [8] Rachel Rogers with YorkMix wrote that her stage presence was "inviting and warm" and that she had her audience "entranced" with her "stunning" voice. [9] Philip Lowe with The Nottingham Post wrote that the concert was an "glorious unforgettable evening," praising her "pitch perfect" voice. [10]
