I'm surprised no one has said the one that ALWAYS gets me...
"Lot's Wife" from Caroline, or Change
An amazingly powerful, tragic song. I want to fly to London just to see that show again.

This isn't a "song" but it is musical and makes me get all shoked up every time.
When Elphaba enters the Ozdust in Wicked and she's alone and then Galinda joins her and the music starts, ahh it just gets me. I've felt that awkward and loneliness before and it's so moving the way it is done on stage.

All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists.

Posted: 1/25/06 at 10:32amThe only time I've literally cried in a theater was during "No Good Deed" in Wicked, althought I suspect that had I seen Aida, I would have been able to add "Written In The Stars" to that list.
