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.  ;)

  1. 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!

    Glad you enjoyed the show!

    1. 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. :)
