Yeah, my heart quite literally sank during Let The Sun Shine

SO sad. At first I was kind of confused as to what exactly was going on, but then by the ending of the song it was just terrible. And I think the irony of the song being such a happy, joyous kind of song just makes it all the more emotional and bittersweet.
It took me a few minutes once they came out again for the curtain call to shake off the sadness. But of course the curtain call was such a big dance party, it was hard not to ultimately leave the theater feeling happy :P
But the ending is still definitely very haunting.
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
