Default Re: Do you hear the people sing? No? Well stick around and you will....

When I heard this song from Les Mis. in the production in NYC, there were French foreign exchange students behind me - a whole row of them- and they were sobbing, and squealing in French. They cried the whole way out of the theater, along with a whole lot of other people. The only word I don't like is the word crusade. So easy to put a lot of other stuff onto it. Otherwise, it is stirring beyond imagination to hear this song performed live. There is nothing more powerful than live theater, IMO. LB
