OH. MY. FREAKING. GOD. Miss Saigon's 25th Anniversary gala performance so fucking good! Even though I wasn't able to work properly because I kept crying during the entire three-hour online radio broadcasting of the show on BBC Radio UK, it was well worth it. But when the Lea Salonga finally come out of the stage and began singing This is the Hour, I was a fucking wreck. I just lose it.

When Lea, the original Kim (who won a Tony, Olivier, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theater World Awards for that single role) and Rachelle Ann Go (current Gigi) - both Filipinas, might I add - sang The Movie in My Mind together, I was like...

I was such a wreck the entire time, I could hardly breathe. And then, Simon Bowman and Lea Salonga went to sing Last Night of the World.

All of a sudden, Jonathan Pryce, the original The Engineer, went on stage to perform The American Dream. I thought I was going to lose my mind.

I was so high I had to stop working because my browsers started not responding. It was soooooo annoying!

Still, after the show, there's only one thing I can think of about the Miss Saigon 25th Anniversary gala.

You don't believe me? Here, watch it yourself. And don't say you haven't been warned.
I rest my case.
