It wasn't a live performance, but it was the RENT trailer - Seasons of Love. The very first time I saw it, I had my computer in my lap, I just sobbed for an hour. I don't even know why. I just cried, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever watched on this screen.

Every time I see Rent, I cry like a baby from the end of Contact (when Angel starts to die) on. I also sobbed through For Good the first time I saw Wicked and when I saw it with my best friend for graduation.

CAROUSEL - I cried during the reprise of "You'll Never Walk Alone" because my loved one was crying.

Depends on how bad they are.

J/K!!!!

I've cried. Miss Saigon. Caroline, Or Change. But, I don't recall sobbing uncontrollably. I think the only time I got that worked up was W;T.

Seussical - Finale ("I have wings. Yes, I can fly. You teach him earth, and I will teach him sky...") *sniffles*

Ragtime - Finale/Wheels of a Dream (reprise)

Oh. And Elaborate Lives, closing night of AIDA. From then on, I was gone. Like a baby.

Mine have already been posted...

ElphabaRose, same thing here. Every time I see RENT, from then on it's waterworks.

and luvtheEmcee, about the 4th time I saw the RENT trailer(which was early in the morning after a sleepless night) I just started sobbing for no particular reason.

As you can see, RENT has a very powerful effect on me. Can't wait to see the movie!

I've never sobbed hysterically at the theatre, but I cried an awful lot during Angel's funeral/eulogy.

Les Mis! After A Little Fall of Rain and at the end after the Prologue/Finale. When everyone 'comes back' and sings Do You Hear The People Sing at the end I start sobbing, and usually can't stop until I'm leaving the theatre. Then I think about it after and cry too.

Stokes singing "The Impossible Dream."

In theatre

Fiddler on the roof. When Alfred Molina sang " Chavelette", I just couldn't hold my tears any more.

Out of Theatre

Les Miserables. Tim Howar sang " Empty Chairs at Empty Tables". I cried not only for the song itself but a lot of old memory was stirred by it.

Watching the final performance of Les Miz in Lincoln center library. At the end, I sat in front of the screen, smiling with tears.

Ditto the RENT trailer. I had no idea why I was so worked up over it but I just couldn't stop crying. Not really sobbing, but every time I thought I was fine, it'd start all over again. And this isn't that bad but seeing as how I RARELY cry for shows/movies etc, seeing Wicked last night, when I heard the first chords to the show and for the first song, I was trying so hard not to cry. Again, absolutely no idea why since it wasn't sad. Maybe because I had been waiting to see the show for a year and now that time was finally here and it fully hit me when the first notes started to play. Lame, I know but what can I say?

During an entire show --

The Beautiful Game - Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical that dwells on sectarian violence. A very contemporary but very poignant and sad theme.

I've told this RENT story a bunch of times, but after I saw the cast on set, I didn't sleep that night. I stayed up and just cried for no particular reason. I listened to the CD, and I'd get to "Halloween," and just lose it.

It was VERY weird.

"Another Day" from RENT. Oh my gosh, I cried like a baby the 2nd time I saw the show during this number.

The only time I ever teared up a bit was during Little Women, towards the end of some things are mant to be and in the fire within me when she writes the book.

From all these posts I take it I shouldn't wear mascara to the Rent movie...?

[Dreamcatcher]

Posted: 7/15/05 at 10:45pm

hahaha yeah. I'm not wearing one iota of makeup to the movie theatre and I'm stuffing my purse full of kleenex. :-P I know I'll be bawling like a baby through most of it. Just watch, the minute the opening credits come up I'll lose it.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 7/15/05 at 10:52pm

ha, I'm certainly not going to bother wearing any.

Adam's name on the screen --> tears.

I agree with dreamcatcher... I know that I am going to use the bathroom before the movie because I may pee in excitement.
