CAN'T STOP SINGING...."A Heart Full of Love"
Le sigh.
Les Misérables.
I saw the musical last night with my mom and sister at the National Theater. Amazing!
Check out the photo of my mom and sister (with a box of tissues). And my sister's new nose ring...and bangs! Bangin' bangs!
One exciting fact about last night's Les Miz show: MARIUS WAS PLAYED BY A FILIPINO!!!!!!!! Way to represent, Devin Ilaw. He is seriously so talented, and I'm not just saying that because he and I are Filipino....
Here's the thing about me and musicals. After every one I see, I immediately become obsessed with singing all the songs pretty much all the time. I went to bed last night singing "A Heart Full of Love" - yes, all three parts: Marius, Cosette, and Eponine. Yes. My husband thinks I'm outta control.
Up above is a video of a Les Miz show from 2008. Why this video out of all videos? Because Eponine is played by Lea Salonga.....another FILIPINO! Awww yea! I love her. Did you know that she was Jasmine's AND Mulan's singing voice in Disney's Aladdin and Mulan movies, respectively? A talented brown girl for the brown princesses! Thank you, Disney. Learn something new everyday...about Filipinos. :)
"A Heart Full of Love" is hands down one of my favorite musical songs....even though I would not advise anyone to profess their undying love on the first day they meet someone and do not even know their name. But that's for a whole 'nother blog post. ;)

Les Mis is one of my favorite musicals. Brad and I are sneaking away on Christmas evening to see the movie while the grandparents watch Mason. I anticipate singing all evening long!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the show!
How exciting! I can't wait to see it too. I hear it's much more emotional than the musical/show. You may want to bring Kleenex. :)
