And there is nothing quite like hearing the SSB played by the Navy Drum and Bugle Corps with a full military honor guard at Ft. McHenry during a fireworks display while looking out over the very same waters that Francis Scott Key saw while watching the “Rockets Red Glare and Bombs Bursting In Air" and writing the poem that inspired the song!
I haven’t seen Les Mis live but I have the sound track. It’s good, it’s very good but I will admit that Memories from Cats moves me to tears more.
But Les Mis is all about grace and forgiveness vs. The law and sin. Good vs. Evil. The old vs. New testament. For any Christian, it is a spiritual experience. I highly recommend it, esp. Live with the nearly angelic singers that tour with it.
