"A Little Fall of Rain" or anything in Les Mis. Basically everyone dies in that show. *sniffles*

Posted: 4/17/06 at 12:57am"No One Has Ever Loved Me from Passion" Well certainly my favorite if it counts! (I didn't think it quite did because she doesn't die for what, 3 days after? But pretty close.

All the 'Death' songs from Les Mis...so many of them. Little Fall of Rain and Gavroche's death are especially sad.
You Must Love Me from Evita...although wasn't this only in the film version? I know it's being put into the revival but I'm sure it was written for the film.
And the biggie - 'Tell Me it's Not True' from Blood Brothers. I sobbed through the end of that show.

Posted: 4/17/06 at 9:00amI have to add "What Would I do" from Falsettos, which happens right after Wizzer dies. Also I can't remember the name of the song, but in "The Rothschilds" when the father his dying, I think the title of the song is "My Sons". Also I know a lot of people have never seen the musical version of The Diary of Anne Frank "Yours, Anne" but the finale, Anne sings this beautiful song while her father is telling what happened to each person in the show. Very sad. I know I find all the musicals that no one knows anything about.

Posted: 4/17/06 at 9:15amDuring The Judge's Return in Sweeney Todd when Mrs. Lovett tries to backtrack right before she gets killed. That is one of my favorite parts of the show!

JerseyGirl2,
so far Madonna is the only one who has performed "You Must Love Me" in EVITA. It was written for her for the movie. The song will be added to the stage score for the first time for the revival which will open in London's West End this year.

I know. I was meaning to comment on the fact that it's hard to like it better when any other Evita does it if no other Evita has. 
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

My pick is "Make Me Happy" from Lippa's version of THE WILD PARTY.

for sheer laugh value Romeo and Juliet (reprise) from reefer madness;
we are just like romeo and juliet
we're happy young and *god awful cough* hemraging blood...
i used to like the king and i finale until i saw a godawful high school version, the tearful reprise of "whistle a happy tune" was sung as loudly and happily as the first version, the anna actually upstaged the death
"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel
