lets face it know one will ever compare to raul's being alive in person.
One of the greatest moments I've ever had at the theater.

Sorry, I beg to differ. I saw Dean Jones and later Larry Kert do "Being Alive" and they was, for me, far more thrilling. In the original production (with the cool elevators) it was one of those moments in the theater when you noticed the communal breathing, where the audience, somehow, starts to breathe in unison. The expulsion after the final note was amazing to experience.

The one other time I really felt that effect was when Cariou finished "Epiphany" in "Sweeney Todd", although in that barn called The Uris, the effect was somewhat watered down.
