That moment when Roger sings "Thank god this moment's not the last!" in RENT gives me chills every time I hear it.

Definatly 100% "Send in the Clowns". It was my grandfathers favorite song and it makes me cry every time I hear it. He died the day before my bday but picked out my gift ahead of time, a music box that plays the song. It's my most treasured posession.
I also agree with I'll Cover you reprise

I agree with everyone that mentioned "Molasses to Rum" from 1776 and "Empty Chairs @ Empty Tables" from Les Miz. I'd also have to add:
"I got lost in his arms" - Annie Get your Gun
"House upon the hill" and "Lily's Eyes" - Secret Garden
"As long as he needs me" - Oliver
"Pity the Child" - Chess
and
"Elaborate Lives" and "How I Know You" - Aida
re: Broadway Songs that Give You Chills#81
Posted: 6/21/04 at 10:06pmOf course the obvious ones like BSM's "Impossible Dream" and Idina doing "Defying Gravity". Also Bernadette's "Not a day goes by", certain versions of "Old Man River", SUTTON's "Gimme Gimme", "Love, look away", oh I know there are many others but I really can't think right now!

I enjoy Wicked as much as the next person, but am I the only one who thinks Defying Gravity is really overrated? I don't even find it to be the best one in the entire show! *running from the room of angry teenyboppers* 
When I think of "chilling" songs, I think:
Gods Love Nubia - Aida
Elaborate Live - Aida (but those chills may come from the subsequent cold shower needed after listening to too much Adam Pascal!)
Gesthemane - JCS
Finale B and I'll Cover You (Reprise) - Rent
"Good luck returning my ass!" - Wilhemina Slater
"This is my breakfast, lunch and f***ing dinner right here. I'm not even f***in' joking." - Colin Farrell

Do the only people who like wicked fall under the catagory of "teeny boppers"?
My songs are-
No good deed
All the wasted time
Lilys eyes
um, thats it for right now
re: Broadway Songs that Give You Chills#84
Posted: 6/21/04 at 11:08pmI'd have to go with All The Wasted Time from Parade, Move On-Sunday In The Park With George, Not A Day Goes By-Merrily We Roll Along, Back To Before and Make Them Hear You-Ragtime, and Impossible Dream from Man of LaMancha

My Fair Lady: I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face
Sweeney Todd: Johanna, Epiphany, A Little Priest
A Little Night Music: A Weekend in the Country, Send in the Clowns
The Most Happy Fella: My Heart Is So Full of You, Finale
Ragtime: Ragtime, New Music, Till We Reach That Day, He Wanted to Say, Back to Before, Make Them Hear You

"Rose's Turn" as sung by Betty Buckley, Bernadette Peters and Angela Lansbury.
"Some People" as sung by Bernadette Peters on her Sondheim, etc. from her Carnegie Hall concert. Best version of that song I've ever heard. I nearly blew the speakers out of my car last summer b/c I was playing it so loud.
"Defying Gravity"...You know who sings this one, folks.
"No Good Deed"...also from Wicked.
"Gimme Gimme" - from Millie
and
"Lot's Wife" from Caroline

They're not all strictly 'Broadway' but . . .
Lily's Eyes - The Secret Garden (especially sung by Philip Quast and Peter Polycarpou)
The Glory of Me - Witches of Eastwick (I just wish there was a 'proper' recording)
Look at Me - Witches of Eastwick
Till we Reach that Day - Ragtime
One Day More - Les Mis
Finale - Les Mis
Sunday - Sunday in the Park with George
Stephen Wellers "Liiiiiiiiiiiiiivvve" on the final track of the 1999 Martin Guerre CD
Send in the Clowns - but only when sung / acted by Judi Dench on the RNT A Little Night Music recording
Overture from Cats - Okay, okay, it was the first show I ever saw at the tender age of seven, and I can still remember how excited I was by it.
Defying Gravity - Wicked
Finale from Song and Dance OBC - despite the fact that Ms Peter's accent is appalling throughout, she pulls out all the stops for the final number
La Cava from (surprise) La Cava, but only when performed live.
No-one is alone - Into the Woods
I'm sure that there are plenty more, but I don't have my CD collection in work with me . . .

Send in the Clowns- Any older lady
Rent Finale
Shadowland- Lion King
re: Broadway Songs that Give You Chills#93

The Point of no Return, The Finale, (when done well) Music of the Night from phantom
re: Broadway Songs that Give You Chills#94
Posted: 6/22/04 at 1:57pmTo this day no piece moves me quite like Easy As Life from AIDA. I missed Heather in the title role but get a lump in the throat listening to her rendition on the OBC recording. Deborah Cox had me sobbing the first time I heard her perform it. The whole play turns on that song.
re: Broadway Songs that Give You Chills#97
Posted: 6/23/04 at 7:39amTell Me it's Not True from Blood Brothers.
re: Broadway Songs that Give You Chills#98
Posted: 6/23/04 at 11:25am
Lets see here:
"Defying Gravity" - Wicked
"On my Own" and "Bring Him Home" - Les Miserables
"Gimme Gimme" - Thoroughly Modern Millie (only with Sutton)
I've drawn a blank, but I may be back.
re: Broadway Songs that Give You Chills#99
Posted: 6/23/04 at 11:29amI think Sutton Foster could sing the phone book and it would give me chills
