musical theatre quotes i gave my soul to pt.1

• “good things get better, bad get worse. wait- i think i meant that in reverse.”
• “deep talks, long walks, telephone calls. thoughts shared, souls bared, private names, all those photos up on the walls ‘with love’. ”
• “what’s the good in being good if everyone is blind, and you’re always left behind?”
• “anywhere you go let me go too. love me, that’s all i ask of you.”
• “faces! drink it in, drink it up till you’ve drowned in the light, in the sound. but who can name the face?”
• “i chose, and my world was shaken, so what? the choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not. you have to move on.”
• “the tune seems sad, but are the words sad? what’s he saying? is he praying? and why does it get to me?”
• “and i don’t know what i feel and i don’t know what i know. all i know is i feel something different.”
• “i’ve been a lot of places, yes i’ve travelled near and far… but now i know that home is where you are.”
• “in the depths of her interior were fears she was inferior, or something even eerier. But no one dared to query her superior exterior.”
• “i can’t promise you fair sky above. can’t promise you kind road below. but i’ll walk beside you, love, any way the wind blows.”
• “to know how it ends and still begin to sing it again, as if it might turn out this time. i learned that from a friend of mine. ”
• “he told me how he loved me, how he needed and or valued me.”
• “why don’t we tell him that we don’t have the answers? and that life can be grim, life’s not all about him. and things rarely go according to plan. tell him things happen for no damned good reason, and his lack of control kills what’s best in your soul.”

before u make a decision… ask urself: is it a hymn? is it a love song?

the band’s visit has such beautifully poetic lyrics.  i think that omar sharif really showcases this, though a number of other songs do as well, but instead of just saying things, it engages the senses, multiple senses - jasmine wind, honey in my ear, spice in my mouth, the music flows in the garden.  and then answer me????  “if i try, maybe i can see your shadow”.  haled’s song about love?  “two suns, no shadow” and “two streams of water that become the sea”.  the dialogue from the park?  “this is the park. it’s not look like a park, you have to imagine. you see, this, this is the grass. and there is where the children play. and this, this is the sea. do you hear the sea?”  the lyricism is so evocative and there’s such strong throughlines and specific thematic motifs addressed again and again.  they not only act as an expression of the characters’ thoughts on the basest level but engage the listener’s senses again and again.  the poem that was translated into itgara’a, yazbeck wrote “when you drink, drink deeply.
drink deeply of the moonlight.  drink deeply of the dark.  of the loneliness.  of the joy.”  and the cast delivers all of the weight and reverence to these songs that they deserve.  it’s just.  the band’s visit is beyond gorgeous musically and lyrically.  it’s deceptively simple without the theatrics of commonly seen in contemporary musical theatre, but written complexly with deep characters and themes, delivered by incredible performers.  there’s one vast broad theme found in the lyrics, the plot, the instrumentation, the direction, and it’s connection, trying to connect, failing to connect, yearning to connect.  the show explores each and every avenue that has to do with this theme, and it’s one of the best scores in recent memory for this reason.
