Ill Cover You Reprise (I forgot which actor it is, but it was the Collins that was with Jai Rodriguez when he played Angel)

"You Alone can make my song take flight. Its over now the music of the night" when sang by Hugh Panaro. then when he disappears I go spastic, ive seen the show live 4 times and i still am amazed by that effect.

Several moments in Phantom. As one person said, when the Overture starts. Yes! The last few notes of "Music Of The Night." (Help me make the music of the night.)
When the Inquisitors come for Cervantes in "Man of La Mancha," right after he's sung Impossible Dream.
The first few bars of "Beyond the Barricades."
When Daniel Davis sang "Look Over There" in La Cage.
When "Somewhere" is sung in the context of West Side Story.
Those come immediately to mind. I'm sure there are lots of others!

All of "Something Just Broke" from Assassins...

...Actually, pretty much all of Assassins.

Rachel York singing anything! Some favorites:

"At the Glen" from DESSA ROSE
"I'll Forget You" from SP2
"My Funny Valentine" from her solo CD LET'S FALL IN LOVE
"Miller's Son" from PUTTING IT TOGETHER
"Losing Track of Time" from SUMMER OF '42
"So in Love" from KISS ME, KATE
"When the Camera Isn't There" from the demo of ME AND MISS MONROE (on BWW radio)

I anticipate chills from RAGTIME, especially when she sings "Back to Before." I'll be there July 3, and I definitely expect fireworks.

Agree with gavrochegirl about the end of Les Miz. Also "Wheels of a Dream" from Ragtime

[Steeler Jim]

Posted: 6/8/05 at 2:41pm

Le Miz - Opening cords, Finale, Javert's Suicide

Into The Woods - No One Is Alone

Rent - Pretty much everything from start to finish, but specifically Jesse L. Martin singing I'll Cover You/Reprise (I'm a heterosexual blubber machine at that point), Will I Lose My Dignity, Seasons of Love, and, of course, the finale when Angel comes back on stage.

And, most recently, Traci Tom's solo in the trailer for the Rent movie

Brian D'arcy James: What is it about her from Wild Party.

[jasobres]

Posted: 6/8/05 at 3:02pm

I always get goosebumps listening to Idina Menzel's last trill in "Defying Gravity" because...I mean she's all the way up there and you know what I mean, right?

[Al Dente]

Posted: 6/8/05 at 3:08pm

Of course, performances I was lucky enough to see: Lupone, McArdle, Holliday still give me chills when I wax nostalgic about them. More recently, Pinkins' in COC and Scott in Aida, Rubin-Vega very early on in RENT and Orfeh singing Ball&Chain in Love, Janis. There was a note she hit and held the few times I saw her in it, that just made the whole audience postal. Ramirez(since she's suddenly not just my "it" girl, I'll share)and Wilson dueting on The Man I love, in Fascinating Rhythm.

"what you own" from RENT...amazing.

the end note in "all grown up" from BARE...ah i die.

and of course, "one day mor" from les mis. beautiful.

Unless you are very musically sensitive, no one will understand this one...but...

The one musical moment that always gives me chills and starts the tears flowing (if they're not already) is at the end of "Phantom of the Opera", right after Christine gives him back the ring, and he says "Christine, I love you..." - the song has been in the key of A major...there is a tiny break in the orchestra - and then you hear the full string section, with heavy cellos, playing the "All I Ask of You" theme - the way the music swells and "falls onto" that melody is extremely chilling, and brilliant and breathtaking orchestral moment. Also, for anyone who has music sensitivity, the key of Db Major has been proven in numerous medical studies to stimulate nerves and brain cells, often resulting in a pleasureful sensation. Think about that :)

-Jennifer Holliday singing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," from Dreamgirls

-Brent Carver, Anthony Crivello, and Chita Rivera: "Anything for Him" from Kiss of the Spider Woman

-The finale of Into the Woods

-"I Believe," from Altar Boyz

Idina Menzel
Matt Morrison

Sutton Foster
Hugh Jackman
Adam Pascal

Bui Doi!! in Saigon
Sacred Bird

Defying Gravity (seeing it live was even better!)
not on the cd but No Good Deed really got me when Stephanie Block sang it, that song stole the show!
