Hi. I'm a Christian and I've studied Latin. Sr Mary Lazarus' words are "laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te,". (The 'c' in benedicimus is sung as a 'ch' sound) It's Latin for, "we praise You, we bless You, we adore You, we glorify You". The other words they sing, "Gloria in excelsis Deo" mean, "Glory to God in the highest" which is actually what the angels sing when they appear to the shepherds in the Christmas story. The young sister sings, "tu solus Dominus, tu solus Altissimus, Iesu Christe... in gloria Dei Patris" which means, "You alone are the Lord, You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, in the glory of God the Father". Hope that helps. x
+Lizzie's Playlists Yes, because the nuns are implied to be practising the "Gloria in Excelsis" that is sung or said at every Mass held on Sundays and Feast Days in the Catholic Church. Of course, we say sing/recite it in the vernacular nowadays, with the Latin version finding regular used in the Vatican, Traditionalist circles, and special occasions in other places.
Well, to be completely honest, you will change your mind when you see it live. I have seen it 4 times, and they have been absolutely brilliant! I can tell they become more excited and give 200% especially when the audience started to dance along!
This was the first Musical I saw at the West End and I would like to recodmend it to anyone wanting to see a show down there, it is absolutely amazing this video doesn't do it justice
when i watch this movie, i always recall my memory in this summer . i travelled in london alone and one night , i just bought a ticket and watched this musical. of course , this is oce of the best musical ive ever seen, it's a kind of amazing experience!!
I saw the show on Saturday. It was OUTSTANDING! So much fun. We were literally crying with laughter at the end of Act 1. I hope it runs for years and years - I'm definatly going to watch it again!
OMG i got chills running through my vains!!!! I couldnt stop smiling; I want to see this show so bad. I believe this show will go far and it's about time lol !!! =] love it
Ok 1st off let me just say i LOVE this song, this is the only song ive been listening to for 4 the past 3 days now , I can not wait til this hits Broadway in march. Anyway i just made an observation, am i the only one who notices one of the nuns headpiece falling of @ 3:45
I want to ask all the lucky people whove seen this show, did you manage to get any stage door cast autographs & or photos? Or arent they doing that sort of thing? I would wait in the rain if that was a possibility!
@Elphielein werde mir das Musical auf jeden Fall in Hamburg ansehen, obwohl ich nicht so richtig weiß, wie die Songs auf Deutsch klingen sollen... Werde mich mal überraschen lassen :D
Patina sounds much stronger here than she did at the Tony Awards (and most of the promotional material I've seen for the American production). I hope she didn't hurt her voice.
@Iceydex the woman sing at the start of this song. sung it in the west end. but her understudy when it was the west end, is going to be the main character, not the uderstudy for it.

Patina sounds much stronger here than she did at the Tony Awards (and most of the promotional material I've seen for the American production). I hope she didn't hurt her voice.

Nothing makes as happy as singing nuns. Maybe singing monks... but I'm not sure.
