What is your favorite musical finale? Last finale scene or song.
Mine has to be "The Finale Scene" from Sunset Boulevard. It's epic. Especially the Glenn Close cast recording. I get so into it (the song/scene).
And of course "Rose's Turn" from Gypsy.

I'm not sure this counts because it's an opera but every time I have seen Candide I wait for Make Our Garden Grown.
The people talking about SITPWG... are you taking about the end of Act One?

Posted: 3/10/15 at 5:54pmThe finale scene of Evita when she's looking down on her funeral is so chilling. Especially what Che says.

"The people talking about SITPWG... are you taking about the end of Act One? "
The song is used at the end of both act 1 and act 2. Have you seen the end of the show? If not, you should. It's brilliant.

Posted: 3/10/15 at 6:39pmI saw the Original Broadway production but I don't remember that they sing "Sunday" at the end of Act Two as well. I think I've only seen that one production. I still have a vhs of it... and a vhs player... I'll take another look.

Les Mis always gives me chills, when the ghosts start out so softly and build into the big grand final chorus.
Also "Light" from Next to Normal, "Sunday", and Pippin.

Posted: 3/10/15 at 7:19pmCabaret ends with *SPOILER* the Emcee with the rest of the cast in front of a BRIGHT white backdrop representing the holocaust then with flashing lights going dark. It is extremely dramatic.
