'Tonight' in west side story! wow!
and 'point of no return'- the climatic part
Whenever I listen to the Miss Saigon London recording all the way through I can't even contain myself when she sings "The Sacred Bird."

Someone else said this and it reminded me,
MOST of CAROUSEL!
Some parts of RENT
"Days of Plenty" frm LITTLE WOMEN
Okay:
Just hearing the first few notes from "Why" from tick, tick...BOOM!, and realizing what is to come (I sob openly for that song)
Any performance of Defying Gravity or No Good Deed LIVE...and only live.
You Can't Stop the Beat...my legs shake uncontrolably...it's weird
Akiva
Any cast I've seen of Aida who's performed "The Gods Love Nubia"...that song gives me chills. Especially when Heather Headley leads it. *shiver*

Great thread,

Song: Time Heals Everything from "Mack and Mabel"
'When I first heard Norbert come in "As Long As Your Mine".'
It might just be me but that really cracked me up for all the wrong reasons.
ANYWAY, the number that gives me the most chills has to be 'Tomorrow belongs to me' from Cabaret.
'Tell me it's not true' and 'Light Romance' - Blood Brothers
'Movie in my mind' - Miss Saigon
I get positive chills when people like Adam Pascal, Sherie Rene Scott, Maureen McGovern, Jesse L Martin, Victoria Clarke etc belt it out.
I'm sure there are a lot more of these moments for me but that'll do for now.
QM
Only you, QM.
Currently, the Overture/Statues and Stories in Piazza's been doing it for me.
Too many moments to list, but like QM said, it's the voices. You can guess whose.
Well, thank God for him, Emcee.

Liza singing MAYBE THIS TIME

Whenever that man in the picture on the left, Anthony Warlow, opens his mouth to sing a song it is truly a gift from GOD. It is unbelievable that there is a person in the world with that much talent. If you want to hear brilliance and perfection, listen to this man sing
Les Miserables "One Day More", and "Come to Me" usually does it for me everytime. Along with Sutton's "Gimme, Gimme", and West ?Side Story's "Somewhere".
