Les Miz
Ragtime (cried no fewer than 5 times when I saw the Illinois All-State show - still the best theatrical experience I've ever had)
Once on this Island (spring musical my Freshman year and we were a VERY tight group)
Rent (the first time I saw it)
EDIT: Oh, and of course The Light in the Piazza
I ALMOST cried when I first saw Suessical, but then I thought to myself, "Wait a minute, what the Hell am I crying for?"
-Rent of course...
-Surprisingly not Wicked.. (didn't care for the tour)
-I balled my eyes out at Jane Eyre.
-Peter Pan. Cathy Rigby's final tour that came around last fall. that was emotional lol.
-I came really close to at Lion King. during Circle of Life.
-Beauty and the Beast. it was a high school show too. at State Comp.
wow i'm such a dork lol.
Closest I've come to crying at a show is Light in the Piazza. The production was so smooth and breathtaking and the performances were incredible, but I'm just not a cryer I guess.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA- I cried during "Wishing you Where Somehow Here Again." and when Christine kissed the Phantom and made him happy, of course!
WICKED- I cried during Defying Gravity, the whole ending, and the curtain calls.(don't ask.)
THE LION KING- When SImba's father dies!
titanic, always
ragtime, whenever little coalhouse runs into mother's arms
I have seen les mis 3 times and cry more each time. last time was once in the first act, and 5 times in the second.
aida- please, i'm a wreck
not saigon, not rent
piazza
dreamgirls (don't want to talk about it)
not wicked
I did cry during spelling bee
once at beauty and the beast. no, not really a cry, but a "welling of emotion"

The end of AIDA brought tears to my eyes, but I didn't actually cry. My best friend was bawling her eyes out, but she is way more emotional than I am. My friends were surprised I even had a tear in my eye... I guess they forgot that I have a heart!
-Rent
-Les Miserables
-The Light in the Piazza
-Aida
-Wicked
-The Wedding Singer (during "If I Told You")
-The Phantom of the Opera

Rent (My breaking point was during "Without You" and Angel starts shaking, oh my goodness I was a wreck)
Les Miz
Wicked
Piazza
Big River (I saw a regional production awhile back, during "River in the Rain" (Reprise) I cried. I'm doing the show now and my director came up with the idea of having a scrim where we all come out together the towns people, the boys, etc come and join hands with the salves and Jim singing in the front during "Free At Last". I have a hard time staying dry eyed.)
The Lion King
Fiddler on the Roof
Phantom of the Opera
Regional production of Children of Eden
I should end this list because I'm quite a baby when it comes to shows... =)
Phantom - Of course :)
Piazza
Rent
Almost during Ragtime

Rent. At the "It's over."
I've cried for shows I've been in. I just finished doing Les Mis and started balling during the finale of the last show.
But I'm sure I'd cry at Les Mis if I hadn't seen it rehearsed every night. It's a really sad show!!

Les Mis during "Bring Him Home." That damn song always gets me.
Gypsy, at the very end, after "Rose's Turn."
Um...yeah, that's all of 'em.
I cried during Godspell, Les Mis, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Titanic.
I cried from the minute Sutton walked on stage in Little Women. I was second row and I just started tearing up hahah and then once Astonishing was over I was already sharing tissues with the woman next to me. And through the entire second act I was seriously hysterical. hahaha I was like...kind of loud actually.
And I cried during Spamalot because I was laughing so hard. Dang. When Eponine walked out. HAH.
-Les Miserables (I actually held up surprisingly well until the finale...then it all went to hell.)
-Little Women (Some Things Are Meant to Be, of course.)
-Beauty and the Beast (that was more a prerequisite, because I cry in the movie every time I see it. It was expected of me to cry in the show. But then I was actually in the show, and now I'm over it.)
Wicked during the song "For Good".
Phantom of the Opera
Titanic

Les Miz, of course. But not until On My Own. Melissa Lyons is absolutely AMAZING. Plus, she was a sweetheart at the stage door!

actually i only during a little fall of rain, bring him home, and the finale but its kinda hard not to cry during the finale at least for me because when i see cry it makes cry and i looked around and everyone was crying
Broadway Legend Joined: 8/22/05
Oh! And I cried during Angels in America. But does that count as a show?
Broadway Legend Joined: 6/30/05
Of course that counts as a show. It IS a show!
