Hey guys,

 

I am looking for some tear-jerking male MT songs - either popular or less well known. I am struggling to find ones for males. 

 

Things like:

• Hard to speak my heart - Parade
• Pretty funny - Dogfight 
• You don't know this man 

 

That kind of vibe for men please

 

 

Thanks <3

idk if these have the same vibe that you want, but these are pretty good ballads that are a little bit lesser known. I especially like "Funny" (the second to last one on the list)

Here are some songs that came to mind, varying degrees of tear-jerking, hopefully you can use them

"Bring Him Home" - Les Mis

"Lost in the Waves" - Out of Our Heads

"What You'd Call a Dream" - Diamonds

"Losing My Mind" - Follies (could be either gender)

"Larger Than Life" - My Favorite Year 

These are the ones that came to mind, but I'll post more once I think of them. I too am a sucker for sad and emotionally draining show-tunes. Also, listened to "Pretty Funny" for the first time, and wow, added to my iTunes.

"Santa Fe" - Newsies

"Your Eyes" - Rent

"If I didn't Believe in You" - The Last Five Years

"Left Behind" - Spring Awakening

"Till We Reach That Day" - Ragtime

"Our Love is God" - Heathers

"Alabanza" - In The Heights

Also if youre okay with something Off-Broadway I would look at the music from Daddy Long Legs

Its more of a sweeter kind of tear jerker, but I love Mamma A Rainbow from Minnie's Boys.

I would definitely go with "Edges of the World" from Fun Home; it's really intense and a great song to act. Brings tears every time!

Come Back from Dogfight

Waving Through A Window from Dear Evan Hansen (or any other male solos in that show)

Hope these help!
