My ULTIMATE favorite has to be:

"Model Behavior" from WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. Laura Benanti could do no wrong...

(Honorable Mention: "Turn It Off" from THE BOOK OF MORMON)

Again, since "Do You Hear The People Sing" segues directly into "In My Life" it is, by definition, NOT a showstopper.

A showstopper from an "upcoming" show? How many performances has it stopped thus far?

justoldbill-
The show's been playing all over Germany for at least 10 years...

I can't believe no one has said "The Music and the Mirror" so far.

I have to agree with:
"Soliloquy" from Carousel
"Rose's Turn" from Gypsy
"The Impossible Dream" from Man of la Mancha
"Old Man River" from Show Boat

And I would like to add "Who's That Woman?" from Follies and "I'm Here" from the Color Purple


"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

^Ditto.

I think "NO Good Deed" is a VERY good example of a show stopper. Especially with an amazing Elphaba doing it. I think it is right up there with "Defying Gravity"

I ADORE "Move On" from "sunday in the park" tho I don't know if that counts as a show stopper.
