The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber

Last Sunday night we watched the 5th show of The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber in Tanghalan Nicanor Abelardo in CCP. It was breathtaking, it was like listening and watching actual scenes from Webber's musicals. You know how when your life flashes right before your eyes? Well, it's like that. It's like all these great musicals flash right before your eyes and give you snippets of memories from the songs. :)
