My ULTIMATE favorite has to be:

"Model Behavior" from WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. Laura Benanti could do no wrong...

(Honorable Mention: "Turn It Off" from THE BOOK OF MORMON)

Again, since "Do You Hear The People Sing" segues directly into "In My Life" it is, by definition, NOT a showstopper.

A showstopper from an "upcoming" show? How many performances has it stopped thus far?

justoldbill-
The show's been playing all over Germany for at least 10 years...

I can't believe no one has said "The Music and the Mirror" so far.

I have to agree with:
"Soliloquy" from Carousel
"Rose's Turn" from Gypsy
"The Impossible Dream" from Man of la Mancha
"Old Man River" from Show Boat

And I would like to add "Who's That Woman?" from Follies and "I'm Here" from the Color Purple

^Ditto.

I think "NO Good Deed" is a VERY good example of a show stopper. Especially with an amazing Elphaba doing it. I think it is right up there with "Defying Gravity"

I ADORE "Move On" from "sunday in the park" tho I don't know if that counts as a show stopper.
