Plays and Musicals that make you weepy

I know that this is a better topic for the main board, but I didn't want everyone to see me crying...

---

Maria holding Tony - reminds me of the Pieta

I cry everytime I hear "Sketch" in hairspray now

I forgot, I also cried during certain scenes in The Boy From Oz.

---

Um...the part in Rent when they are all talking about Angel after he dies...and also when Collins sings the reprise for I'll Cover you.

Hmmm...Oh during For Good in Wicked, oh and also the tribute to Leigh Bowry in Taboo...

Ohh and of course Aida...I can't help but crying my eyes out all through the end!

Shows that make me cry, eh? Let's see if I can think of all of them!

*A Chorus Line - Paul's monologue had me bawling
*Les Miserables - cried every night backstage when I was in the show and cried when I finally saw it on Broadway
*La Boheme - does this really need an explanation?
*RENT - moved me to tears both times
*Aida - that ending!
*Titanic - from the last week of rehersals on, I cried myself into a frenzy every night

I'm sure there are tons more, but that's all I can think of right now.

ragtime: 'Til We Reach That Day had me sobbing! i was overjoyed and crushed to find out that there was still another act to go. i could barely stand by the end.

rent: when angel dies, and everyone gives a memory. gets me every time

Wicked: For Good. i heard this with a friend right before we left each other for a long time, and i cried all the way home

The Lion King: Circle of Life. i know its disney, but who couldn't be moved by that scene!

Cinderella: its just such a bad musical!

Man of Lamancha: Brian moves me, no matter what.

Les Miserables: need i explain?

---

Aida - I cried for an hour and a half the second time, even though I knew what would happen.

Rent - when Angel dies

Taboo - the Leigh Bowery film

Cabaret - the finale. And I cried my eyes out on January 4th, for pretty much the whole show.

Rent: "I'll Cover You Reprise". Especially with Mark Richard Ford. That man is THE Collins. I don't care what anyone else says. He's the only one that could get me cry for that show.

Avenue Q: "There's a Fine Fine Line".

Wicked: The scene where Glinda pays her respects to Nessa, and then Elphaba says "Nessa. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I am so sorry." and her and Elphaba have Bitchfest 2004. Yeah, I'm a big Nessa fan. And at the very end, when they sing "I have been changed..." because Glinda's all alone and she'll never know.

Children of Eden (In Whatever Time We Have). The Last 5 Years (The Next Ten Minutes). Elegies (The Day the Earth Stopped Turning). Cabaret (Tomorrow Belongs to Me Reprise)

My first cry in the theater experience was in Miss Saigon when Kim dies. Dumb me... didn't see it coming.

Les Mis - several places - Fantine dying, Do you HEar the people Sing... Jean Valjean dying, Do you hear the people sing reprise...

Cabaret - the end

Wicked - For Good

Aida - the end

Just got teary-eyed at A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC here in Chicago. I realized that whatever the shorcomings of a production, the score will always choke me up.

Don't feel bad anyone who is sensitive. LoL i'm in that crowd too! For some strange reason I feel this emotion when I walk into a theatre. Then when I am leaving I get a tear in my eye.
But the plays I cried during were...
Aida - from elaborate lives and on
Movin' Out - shameless
