Hey guys! I was thinking about this topic a little bit today and I thought I should post a question about it. Are there any specific parts of shows or specific performers that ALWAYS give you the chills...in a good way =)... every time? Hope this wasn't posted already (sry if it was...but I checked)
I want to know your thoughts!

Posted: 6/7/05 at 11:40pmWhen I saw Phantom last month in Boston, both times I got massive chills at the end of "The Music of the Night", mostly due to Gary Mauer's amazing-ness.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 11:42pmSutton Foster gives me (recent) chills from the Little Women soundtrack. She manages to put so much emotion in her singing that you can tell what her character might look like.
This is my signature.

Raul Esparza-Anytime he opens his mouth to sing
Idina Menzel- "Defying Gravity" and "The Wizard and I"

Michael Arden- "The Letter" from Easter Rising
Jenna Leigh Green- "I'll Wait" from Easter Rising
Norm Lewis- "The Flesh Failures"
Matthew Morrison- "Il Mondo Vita" (I think that's the title) from Light in the Piazza
Melissa Errico and Darren Ritchie- "Whitby Bay"- Dracula
Shoshana Bean-"Bless the Lord"-Godspell
Yeah i think that covers it.....by the way great topic!!!
