I can think of a few just off the top of my head, but keen to know other people opinions!
Stay with me - Into the woods. Roses' Turn - Gypsy. No good Deed - Wicked Epiphany - Sweeney.. We do not Belong together - Sunday in the park.. Daddys' Son - Ragtime
great! Also thiking about it, Most of Jacques Brel is, all the no comical songs are so heavy and gutt renching, to sing them night after night is so demanding!
Nobody Needs to Know- The Last 5 Years, although If I Didn't Believe in You fits also. The Last Midnight- Into the Woods This is the Hour- Miss Saigon Astonishing- Little Women
My favorite turning point song was from the Last 5 Years, THE NEXT 10 MINUTES, absolutly perfect!
As farr as breakdown songs, I really have a couple first that come to mind are: 1. No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, Wicked 2. Goodbye Love - I absolutly adore the breakdown right after Angel's funeral. It's fantastic (and never should have been deleted from the movie but my opinion) 3. If I didn't believe in you - Last 5 Years
I made a list of all your faults, it was quite detailed and lengthy too and when I read it through I missed you. Your like a classic Eagles song, you just cant help but sing along even though it sometimes gets annoying too. I just know I want to be wherever I can wake and see you there next to me. **High Fidelity**
Love is what I do **The Wedding Singer**
