As you can see from the previous episodes, “Loving the Silent Tears” was a great success. All the actors, actresses, singers, dancers, costume designers, makeup artists, and lighting and sound technicians collaborated with each other seamlessly and delivered an unforgettable musical experience to the audience. What inspired these top-notch artists from diverse backgrounds and fields to take part in this production? What was the invisible thread that connected them together? We will continue our “train ride” to journey back in time and uncover “The Making of Loving the Silent Tears.” “The Supreme Master has written poetry that really touches my heart. I said, ‘She reaches people internationally, why don’t we do something that’s international?’ And so, this musical is international. Myself and other writers composed music to Her poetry. All these composers who are the best in the world that I recommended, and all of these singers who won Grammys and Tonys from Broadway worked on this piece because they saw the spiritual nature of it.” “And when I wrote the music, mainly I responded to what the lyrics were. And the lyrics are all about enlightening and love, all positive things.” “I wrote the opening number, and then Supreme Master Ching Hai’s poems, Her humor is so strong in that. And then She can become so deep in Her thought process. The lady is fantastic.” “The compiling and putting together this particular show was a small miracle. We were able to choose the poems and find the order they should be in and how to find a build in it, in three days. And this has never happened before. Finding the bones of the piece, the structure, and the skeleton, it just came like a gift.” “On this project, on ‘Loving the Silent Tears,’ everyone so far has been so positive and so kind and with such open hearts, and a beautiful perspective on how to live life. So, I’m hoping, that the outcome of what we put on the stage will reflect all the love, and the energy, and the goodness, and the positive energy, that we feel in putting this piece together. We have some amazing people lined up, and they’re all very, very talented on the world stage.”
