OH MY GOSH! I'M SO EXCITED! Finally, someone mentions a Broadway performance that I actually saw! I saw Peter Lockyer in Les Mis in the spring of 1997 and Empty Chairs at empty tables sent chills all through me!! I bawled through almost the whole show - it was so powerful and the cast was so fresh and fabulous!
Other songs that give me chills are -
It Don't Make Sense from Parade
The Finale of Tommy
The Circle of Life from Lion King the Musical
I Will Never Leave You from Side Show
In His Eyes from J & H
Lots more!
...and your children start to leave you from the moment they are born.

Posted: 6/21/04 at 1:33amOh the Spring of 1997 was the 10th Anniversary Broadway cast and it was fantastic! I loved that cast so much, they were just so on all the time. So great.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Posted: 6/21/04 at 2:18amThe last few songs in CABARET give me chills 9seriously, the first time I saw it I couldn't stop shaking!) but especially Susan Egan singing the title song.

Posted: 6/21/04 at 3:04amBythesword - I saw their 4th or 5th show after re-opening and the intensity was overwhelming. I was 18, just out of high school and on my first and only trip to NY. Phantom and Miss Saigon were so disappointing, that production of Les Mis made my broadway dreams come true! Woo Hoo!!

Posted: 6/21/04 at 3:18amOh you're totally right, I was there for the 10th Anniv performance. Every song they did that night gave me the chills. That whole time period for them was great.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?
#34re: Broadway Songs that Give You Chills
Posted: 6/21/04 at 3:23amI would have to say the "There Is a Fountain/It Don't Make Sense" song from JRB's Parade. Brilliant.
There are some people in the world who say that writing stories, or composing music or dancing sparkly dances is easy for them. Nothing interferes with their ability to create. While I celebrate their creative freedom, a little part of me just wants to punch those motherf*ckers in the teeth...[tos]

That Old Devil Moon - from Finnigan's Rainbow
Though the only version that stands out is Frank Sinatra's. It's one of those songs that when I hear it, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and just listen.

The following almost always make me cry...
"You Walk With Me" (The Full Monty)
"On My Own" (Les Miz)
"Close Any Door" (Joseph and the ATDC)
"Tradition" (Fiddler)...the chorus is so overwhelming!
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

Well the only one I can really think of that is not a repeat of what every else said is "Anytime" either from Elegies: A Song Cycle or Infinite Joy. Hearing Carolee Carmello or Norm Lewis sing that song totally gives me chills.
