When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

"Maybe"- Next to Normal (Sad) AND "Light"- Next to Normal (Teary)
For those who thought NEXT TO NORMAL wouldn't have a life outside Broadway, well it's now playing in 4 cities, 9 different countries and has been translated into 6 languages.
Several- I admit it, I'm a crier :) But the top 3: Those You've Known- Spring Awakening I Am the One (Reprise)- Next to Normal A Little Fall of Rain- Les Mis
<------ Me and my friends with patti Lupone at my friends afterparty for her concert with audra mcdonald during the summer of 2007.
"I am sorry but it is an unjust world and virtue is only triumphant in theatricle performances" The Mikado
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts..."
~Jaques - "As You Like It" Act 2, scene 7
Definitely "light" from Next to Normal...especially the second time I saw it.
"The Best Thing That Has Ever Happened" from Sondheim on Sondheim..happened to be sitting next to my best friend (aside to my partner) at the time and I just lost it.
Most of "Title of Show" actually...I really identified with the show and was a puddle more than a few times.
ETA: Forgot about "For Good"....that made its way onto many a friends' (okay, three) mix tapes.
