I Should Tell You from RENT has always sounded very haunting to me.
Of course:
Your Daddy's Son - Ragtime
The Beauty Is (Reprise) - The Light In The Piazza
Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You along with several of the sad songs from The Last 5 Years
Basically everything in Sweeney
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Last Midnight and Lament

Posted: 4/15/06 at 10:01pmI TOTALLY agree with the first guy, Roger246, with "Your Daddy's Son". My choir director played that for us a few weeks ago, and I was floored.

Posted: 4/15/06 at 10:46pmAh yes, Moonie! "Goodbye Until Tomorrow" I totally agree with.
#33re: Haunting songs?
Posted: 4/15/06 at 11:22pmOh! And the final Ballad of Sweeney Todd - particularly on the revival recording. "No one can help, nothing can hide you/Isn't that Sweeney there beside you" - if that isn't haunting enough..

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
