In some musicals, there are some sensations, which I like to talk about.
In “Cats” (Andrew Lloyd Webber), in the song “Memory” (interpretation 1 », interpretation 2 »), it says:
“Touch me
It’s so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You’ll understand what happiness is”
You can imagine the sensations the audience has. In here – touch.
In “The Phantom of the Opera” (Andrew Lloyd Webber), in the song with the same name, it says:
“In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name”
In here – voices.
In “Jesus Christ Superstar” (Andrew Lloyd Webber), in “Everything’s alright” song, it says:
“Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight
Everything’s alright, yes, everything’s alright, yes”
Sensations, emotions, relaxation.
These are some of my favorite parts in musicals. They’re so intimate and intense!

Some musicals manage to do more than just play a tune.
