One of the most poignant moments of “Les Miserables” is “Empty Chairs At Empty Tables”. It finds Marius remembering his fallen comrades. Michael Ball portrayed the character in the original West End production back in 1985.

DON’T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA

Evita

The musical “Evita” possesses many musical highlights, but “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” overshadows all of them. This mighty showstopper remains one of the standouts in the Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice canon. The epic song is performed by Eva Peron. Julie Covington’s version of the song reached #1 in 1977 in Britain, parts of Europe and in Australia.
