Loving The Silent Tears: The Musical, Part 16 of a Multi-part Series

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."

“I love original work. To me, it’s the most exciting when you hear – like the music in ‘Loving the Silent Tears.’ It’s some extraordinary music in there. It’s just very touching. This train goes all over the world, and we’re deeply influenced by the poetry of Supreme Master. And by that influence, we find inner enlightenment by seeing how the rest of the world is finding their enlightenment.”

“The people working on this show, it is so cool to work with them. I really enjoy the poetry.”

“I’ll be playing the conductor. I love Vincent. He, as a director, really had changed my life. I think if we open ourselves up to those different cultures and those different thoughts and ideas, we can be better people.”

“I am USA, which is an interesting song in the show, because it’s not one of the happier moments. But sometimes the dark stuff leads to the light, and I think that’s why it’s there.”

“(It’s Jon Secada!) I decided to be a part of ‘Loving the Silent Tears’ because as soon as I read the lyrics, I read what the message was immediately, what the Supreme Master was trying to say. It’s that balance of the beauty, the simplicity of the message, at the same time, the depth of the message. So that’s a combination, that’s rare to see these days.”

“I’m happy to be representing Ireland, and I am also going to be playing the harp, which is a very important instrument from Ireland.”

“It’s ‘accept me the way I am.’ I mean, everyone should be accepted just the way they are with all their defects and vulnerabilities, and so, I really relate with the words as a person.”

“My name is Mark Janicello, and I am playing the opera singer in ‘Loving the Silent Tears.’ And this has been a joyous and easygoing experience in a manner of which I’ve never experienced.”
