I just thought of a few more:
"Not while im around" from Sweeney todd. It's so sad cause of what happens to toby at the end.
also "eva's final broadcast" from EVITA.
The first time I watched it I said to myself "there is no way im going to feel sorry for this biotch" but when that song played I actually felt myself feeling really sorry for eva.She is a biotch but she is a biotch with a cause and tried to help many people.
"Though it May get harder
for you to see me.Im Argentina.
and aways will be".
so sad....

I don't know that I restrict my listening, but I do have to set aside the time to listen and recover. I can't really do other things while either show plays or for awhile afterward.

I definitely have trouble listening to Next to Normal or Bare without getting depressed.
Recently, Marry Me a Little depressed the hell outta me as well. No one told me they never actually meet! That's just sad.

I cry a river of tears when I listen to Merrily We Roll Along. ESPECIALLY when they sing "...being what we can..." during Our Time.

The thing that makes me cry is when I see another one of these insipid threads (The musical you love so much that starts with the letter H; The show that makes you physically angry but you've never seen it; the audition song that makes you wonder what the writer was thinking; blah blah blah blah) by someone with clearly too much time on his hands, and yet he doesn't even know the difference between too, two and to.

I DO know thow difference between the words.It was an honest mistake that I have tried editing multiple times but it will not let me.
insider 2: perhaps YOU have TOO much times on your hands for commenting on a thread you do not like....hmmm

While I saw a regional production of it so long ago I can barely remember the plot, the musical BUDGIE stands out as an emotional trigger for me. Moreso, it's the song "In One of My Weaker Moments." It's hauntingly beautiful and unmistakably full of sorrow.
I believe Marti Webb made the song famous and I was lucky enough to see her in concert when I was in high school in the 90s. When she started singing:
All the good times that we've had
I could count on one hand...
I welled up and wept through the rest of the number.

I lose it during most of "Ragtime", but esp. at the end of Act 1, starting with "Justice" then "President" and reaches its emotional climax with "Till We Reach That Day"....
And don't even get my started on "Let Them Hear You" which is sad, but kind of triumphant too... still I bawl all the way through it.

Posted: 9/6/12 at 7:46pmI can't listen to my "Once" cast recording very often even though I think it's the best show on Broadway right now. I can't get through "The Hill" without wanting to cry my eyes out.

Posted: 9/6/12 at 10:13pmMerrily We Roll Along, especially the OBC. As soon as "Our Time" gets to "This is where we began being what we can," I tear up more than I did when a door slammed on my finger at five years old.

Spring Awakening, RENT, Miss Saigon.
But Les Mis makes me cry every time. Listening to it is one thing. When I first saw the show I was bawling my eyes out during "On My Own" and "A Little Fall of Rain". "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" is also sad too.
