This is by far one of the best performances of a musical theatre song I've ever seen. Technique is flawless, effortless, and amazing control of tone and resonance. The dramatic interpretation of the song is text book perfect. Not a moment that loses the listeners attention. Couldn't stop watching. This was deeply moving. What a talent!!!!
She was my first Molly and she was incredible, she made everyone cry and Sharon D Clarke as Oda Mae made everyone laugh, such a wonderful rollercoaster of emotions
When I first heard this song, I didn't pay much attention to it. "Yeah yeah yeah, they made Ghost into a musical, whatever..." Then I actually listened to the lyrics and figured out where it would be in the context of the film and I was like, "URGH...MY FEELS. THEY HURT." I've never heard of this actress, but she has one of the purest voices ever. No strain when she started belting in the second chorus, no wondering if she would make a note or not, she hit everything right on the money. *le sniffle*
The bond between husband and wife is so powerful, so Godly, so deep. And this song invokes the pain of that bonk breaking so passionately! Who can listen without choking up?
By far the best version of this song there is. She is amazing live singing that well whilst also portraying all the right emotions. And Jesus, she is absolutely beautiful.
I remember everything about the first time I saw ghost. I had no interest or intention of seeing it, but I somehow I arrived at the theatre at around 9:20am. I bought a day seat at 10am for the 7.30pm show that evening, it was around £25. I was in the centre of the 6th (or so) row, it was the perfect position for all the effects on stage and at certain moments the lights would blind you and make what was happening on stage even more magical. Siobhan has an incredible voice and I'm so glad she was my first Molly, though Caissie is amazing too i am so grateful to have seen Siobhan (and later Rebecca) all three of them sing the score so well. I've just had to buy tickets to see the concert in October, and I hope Lucie Jones can bring me to tears the way those two did.
I picked up your shirts this morning I don't know why, I don't know why Mr Reynolds said to say hello I started to cry, I started to cry Every place we ever walked and Everywhere we talked, I miss you You never leave my mind So much of you is left behind You took my days with you Took my nights with you Those unfinished conversations We used to have still speak to me And I write you letters every day That I'll never send and you'll never see All this wishful thinking Gets me nowhere I can't stay Though my heart is broken It keeps breaking every day You took my hopes with you Took my dreams with you I keep thinking that you'll be calling Everyone says that it's all in my head And I can't accept it yet I'm not ready to just give in I know that I can't live in this pain With these feelings of regret I can't comprehend this And pretend that I don't care Any place I wanna be I wanna see you there You took my life with you Took my world with you
Here is a tip. If you have a raging cold or the flu.. DO NOT GO TO A THEATER... ANY THEATER!! You will ruin the show for people. Its just bad manners. That being said. This was wonderful performance, very touching.
I get where you're coming from, but that's frankly ridiculous. Many people have medical issues that would prevent them from ever going to a theatre according to your parameters. The theatre is not supposed to be a silent place. Heck, in Shakespeare's day the audience would talk trash at the performers, throw stuff, grab at them, etc. The theatre is not, nor will it ever be, a silent place for your personal listening pleasure. It's a community entertainment space. Many people in the community have issues that make them sneeze, or cough, or sniffle, many children are still young and comment on the performance during the show, some people have things like Tourrette's where they make involuntary noises or movements. I've been in the audience for countless shows, I've been on stage for countless productions, and I've directed or worked behind the scenes for many shows. It's unrealistic to expect a theatre house to be silent. Stay home and watch a movie if that's what you are looking for. Part of the challenge and the joy of watching a show with other people is the unexpected. It's live theatre, anything can happen. As a performer, it's kind of magical to hear the audience. Most performers prefer a "live" audience to a "dead" (quiet) one. It's great to be able to hear how your performance is affecting people. If all you hear is sniffles and coughs, than the audience is probably either really bored or really captivated. It's fun to take the temperature of an audience based on their sounds and adjust accordingly. One other point: Theatre tickets are EXPENSIVE. There is often a "no refunds or exchanges" policy. Many people buy their tickets well in advance. They have no way of know that they will be sick on the day of the show. You don't stay home from a show you paid that much money for just because you have a cold or allergies. SO long story short, if noises in an audience bother you, than live theatre probably isn't the right place for you. Theatres are a "live" environment. Theatres are a "community" environment. Theatres are not libraries or museums or other quiet spaces (and even in those places, coughing and sniffling and stuff just happen sometimes).
Kids commenting, people speaking . . . sure, that's all part of the show. Only tennis and golf players get quiet when they perform. A football kicker may have to boot a 55 yarder in the snow and the crowd going wild but tennis players and golfers can't handle any noise. Kind of comical. Anyway, the original comment included a note that someone with flu should stay home. Damn straight. That has been and continues to be our best defense against infectious diseases - LIMIT EXPOSURE! Damn, Siobahn can sing!!
I think it's just as bad as bringing kids to the movie theater. It's annoying as hell. So I kind of agree. If you are coughing, sneezing... please bring medication from anything from water to cough drops. Even if you don't feel sick, it's wise to be prepared anyway. So honestly, there's no excuse.
@@AStageForTheKingdom I didnt go through everything that you said, but I read as much as I could for the moment. I would agree if it werent for the fact that noises at certain points in the theater distracts from the emotion of the moment. If you are prone to coughing or sneezing, there is medication for that. Even if you feel fine and you dont believe that you need anything, it's better to come prepared to events like this. Bring water, buy water, chew gum, have cough drops in your purse or pocket just in case. There's an entire audience who have also spent money to attend the play and shouldn't have to put up with noises such as coughing at literally one of the most emotional moments of the musical. --- Edit --- I really do understand, though. Someone might've been choking (dust, perhaps, or through tears). But it's a simple truth that everyone should be respectful towards others who have also come to enjoy a singular event. If you are having a problem with your cough, despite wanting to enjoy the scene, it IS better to step out to do what you need to for your own sake and the sake of others.
