Everyone has a song that somehow makes them weep when they hear it. Your stomach starts to turn, the tears just come, and you realize your out of breath because you cannot think of another song that is more haunting or beautiful.
I enjoy a good Love Story theme song, Last Night of the World from Miss Saigon, Hebrides Overture by Mendelssohn, even the wedding march from Sound of Music. However nothing hits my gut more than Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy.
I will do anything and everything to go to London, and see this. Miss Saigon is returning to London in 2014.
Miss Saigon is one of my favorite musicals. This unbelievable heart-breaking musical is about a Vietnamese girl, Kim, who falls in love with an American GI, Chris, the night before Saigon falls during the Vietnam war. Based loosely off of Madame Butterfly, Claude-Michel Sconberg and Alain Boubil wrote the musical after seeing this photograph:
A mother sending her child to America to meet her GI father they never met before in order to live out the "American Dream." The music is so haunting, and the ending will leave you sobbing. Not to mention, my wedding song is in the show haha.
