In theater, at least for me, when I see a show it has to capture me. The story must make me believe that what is going on is real. Contributing factors: Music, actors, scenery etc. I think for me that the most powerful way to "capture" people in the magic of the show is through music! Before I auditioned for Tuacahn last summer I knew nothing about any of the show's besides Sound of Music. When I first heard Les Miserables I immediately fell in love! The music gives me goosebumps. Anyways, this clip I have here talks about the beauty of life "in times gone by" how it was worth living, and how the world was a better place. There is obviously truth to that, but there is just something to Boublil and Schounbergs music that entraps you! It's inspirational for me. This clip is of Fantine; I also recommend Eponines songs. Really they are all masterpieces!!!

Wow. She has an incredible voice. That is a really...gut-wrenching...song. I don't know how to explain it, but you're right.
