I love the number before the intermission of Phantom. Just the music when the chandelier is coming down and that final "Go!" is just so amazing. Especially for the front row people, it's killer.

I am partial to the Act One Finale from Urinetown, and A New Argentina always gave me chills.

I was just about to say the same thing Whatdoineed said. It is a weak Act I closer. I was just kinda confused when Act I ended like that.
