During One Day More from Les Miserables? I saw a video of it on a website that cannot be named... and even before the start of the song it had a maror applause... i dont know if its just the show and all of its magnificalness or just hearing the crowd clap out of appriciation... whatever it was it got me crying!

#2re: Do you cry....
Posted: 1/25/07 at 6:31pmI'm not really a cryer in general, but watching the revival cast do it gave me some definite chills. The sound was so awesome. It was definitely the highlight of that production.

Posted: 1/25/07 at 6:36pmI've seen Les Miz over 50 times but I've never cried during the show.

Posted: 1/25/07 at 7:24pmI'm not a huge Les Mis fan, but I'm moved by One Day More. I didn't cry, but I definitely got chills. Incredibly powerful.
There wouldn't be lights bright enough!

Posted: 1/25/07 at 7:27pmI don't cry....I just want more. I wish it wasn't intermission after that song.
It was 6 hours, I don't even like to have sex and eat bacon for 6 hours.

Posted: 1/25/07 at 7:41pmNot One Day More, but Little Fall Of Rain sometimes, and when Gavrosche(sp) dies.

I remember the first night of Passover, I would have maror and it would make me cry.
And I knew that when tomorrow comes we would have to do it one day more.
p.s. But what made me cry last night was learning that there are no current plans for a revival cast recording.
[The feeling is that there already exist enough cast recordings.]
pps: And no current plans to readdress the plans after March 7th.

Tear jerker moments:
- I dreamed a dream
- Little fall of rain
- JVJ's demise and meeting Fantine and Eponine at the end

Posted: 1/25/07 at 8:49pmThis show always gets to me. When I saw the new production and the opening started, my eyes teared up just thinking about the show and the power of the music.

Posted: 1/25/07 at 9:41pmI cried during "One Day More" the first time I saw the original production. With the revival, it was seeing Gavroche's body on the barricades...

Posted: 1/25/07 at 9:54pmFor some reason I never cried during Les Mis, despite it having a big emotional effect. It was odd.
How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

The first of five times I saw this production I picked up my ticket at will call during the matinee. It was very close to the end of act one of the first preformance and they ahve a montor in the box office. after Igot my ticket I turned around and watched a little of it. I was glad that the guy at the box office realy didn't care that I was watching it there. Anyways, by the time they got to one day more I had a big grin on my face and I couldn't wait for that evening. When I was younger my parents didn't want me to go to broadway shows on my own. Now that I am 17 they don't care. But, it was then that I realized that I was gonna see Les Miz on my own. I personally thought that was very cool.

Posted: 1/25/07 at 10:39pmI loathe, despise, and hate everything in Les Miz with every fiber of my being aside from "One Day More" and it just is brilliant to me.

Posted: 1/25/07 at 10:49pmI bawled like a baby when I saw it in LA, but when I saw it in London, I was so bored that I couldn't wait for it to end. It just sucked there.

#19Do you cry . . .
Posted: 1/25/07 at 11:06pmWell, I haven't seen LES MIS since 1988 in London and I'd only seen it once before that, in New York the year before. Both times I choked up when Valjean rescued Cosette from the Thenardiers. A very emotional moment for me.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Posted: 1/25/07 at 11:09pmI've never cried, but I most definetly got chills. It's such a powerful song (and show in general), and it always moves me no matter what.

I get chills when everyone gets to the end harmonies, starting at "Tomorrow we'll discover what our God in Heaven has in store."
At least, I usually do. The last tour that came around didn't impress me in the least. They were phoning it in, which was really a shame.

I don't cry at One Day More, but I do get chills when the song starts. My tears generally start in the second half with Little Fall of Rain and by the time Valjean dies, I'm struggling to hold the sobs in. This happened each time I've seen the show in London over the last year.
When I saw the show in NY, however, while I didn't cry at Little Fall fo Rain, I did get choked up a bit; the sobs at the end did come, to the point where the lady sitting on my right asked if I was ok! 
#23Do you cry . . .
Posted: 1/26/07 at 6:27amI have never understood the eternal fascination for either this show or that song. The physical production is nothing short of brilliant, but this supposedly powerful, utterly emotional score just leaves me cold. It's long and tedious and repetitive. The only reason to cry is the amount of money I've wasted on the tickets.
