The second time I saw Rent for some reason I lost it from Will I? to the end...
I also cry when I hear Julia McKenzie singing I Dreamed A Dream
or
Judi Dench in A Little Night Music
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Posted: 3/29/08 at 11:08pmFinale B and Another Day from RENT. Those two are always the most emotional for me because they just bring back the best memories of seeing my favorite show at the Nederlander. So surreal.

Posted: 1/5/09 at 11:04pmIt's funny but the original poster asked if there was any music that was just so beautiful that it made you cry. The first three pieces of music that came to my mind all came from films - not theatre. They are Tara's Theme (Gone With the Wind), the theme from Steel Magnolias, and the theme from To Kill a Mockingbird. There is one piece that literally brings me to tears from the start and it is from the stage - Grandma's Song from Billy Elliot. It tears my heart out. But it's the lyrics - not the music.

There were only a few times I've actually became tear-y in a theatre (I usually don't in general!);
"A Little Fall of Rain" - upon my first seeing it live (I knew Eponine died,...but a beautiful song!)
"Move On" & especially "We Do Not Belong Together" - the latter which Jenna Russell really pushed it to me!
Others:
"The Graveyard" - Jane Eyre ~ The Musical
"Rain" - Jane Eyre ~ The Musical Cast Recording (It was cut from the show I believe,...and I have no idea why I get emotional with it??!!)
"Evermore Without You" - Woman in White
"If Dreams Came True" - A Tale of Two Cities
"Let Her Be a Child" - A Tale of Two Cities
"Reflection" - A Tale of Two Cities
"In His Eyes" - Mostly Lucy's parts, as well as "A New Life"'s beginning...from Jekyll & HYDE.
"I'll Forget You" and "When I Look At You" - the first when done correctly & well acted, the second if well directed...from The Scarlet Pimpernel.
"I Still Believe" - Miss Saigon (again, just mostly Kim's parts!)

Just thinking about some of the songs listed in this thread is making me choke up. Most (if not all of mine, I believe) are listed, but:
"Why" tick, tick... BOOM!
"Still Hurting" Last 5 Years
"For Good" Wicked
"I'll Cover You" Rent
"Alabanza" In the Heights
all made me cry at first listen, due to various external factors, and now I can't hear them without a tear or two.
Call the understudy / I can't go on tonight / I'm drinking with my buddy / I'm getting good and tight / Before they raise the curtain I'll be higher than a kite / So call the understudy
I can't go on tonight
