Theatrical Circus Career
In April 2010, it was announced that Leong would star in the original theatrical production, "Voyage De La Vie" along with a cast of international performers. After several rounds of auditions, Leong got the lead role of "The Boy".
The multi-million dollar theatrical circus spectacular was created by Mark Fisher, produced by The Generating Company, and co-conceived and directed by acclaimed Broadway and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus director Philip Wm. McKinley. "Voyage De La Vie" is currently the resident show at the integrated resort Resorts World Sentosa.
