All My Sons made me cry like a baby. Literally tears running down my face all throughout the ending and curtain call.
next to normal when Diana brings out the birthday cake too had me really emotional. I also cried at the end of Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi at the Union Theatre. I don't know what it was but I felt really touched by the entire show.

The only time I've cried IN the theatre (as far as I can remember)was at the end of the West Yorkshire Playhouse's production of Death of a Salesman earlier this year. Just how the set was revealed and the power of the acting really caught me. And, I think the first time I saw Sunday in the Park with George on DVD, I may have shed a tear!

RENT, Billy Elliot (happy tears) and The Lion King all got me.

West Side Story and Les Misérables.
And not live, but seen A Little Night Music and Gypsy.
Am I the only person to cry at Rose's Turn??

I saw the second preview of Les Miz at the Barbican and was a mess during the famous parts!
The last time I was that bad was when that bloody kid started sing that letter out loud and the woman next too me thought I was having an astmha attack! LOL She was just as bad later!
Steel Magnolias' and 'The Amen Corner', both played the Lyric Shafts Ave,are two plays that spring to mind!
I cried at the shear spectacle of 'Sweeney Todd' at Drury Lane.
Note to producers: DONT put 'Beaches' on stage cos you'll carry me out in a body bag!

Oh dear, all the time! Just a few that I remember...
La Cage aux Folles: The last time I saw/heard/felt/experienced Philip Quast singing "Song on the Sand". And then a bit during the curtain call.
Avenue Q: Julie Atherton singing "There's a Fine, Fine Line". I was a bit drunk, OK!
A Streetcar Named Desire: I can't even *read* the scene where Blanche is telling Mitch about her husband without getting emotional.
War Horse: When adult Joey comes on for the first time, and again at the end. And maybe a few other times. JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
The Habit of Art: Wasn't expecting it at all. Last performance, Richard Griffiths doing the Auden poem. Not proper crying, but I got a bit choked up...
The History Boys: The Drummer Hodge bit, if it's done well. Most recently Gerard Murphy did it brilliantly in the UK tour. Also Hector's final speech. In the film, "Bye Bye Blackbird" always gets to me, though it didn't really in the last stage production I saw.
It wasn't a production of the play as such, but Simon Callow doing Lear's "I am a very foolish fond old man" was startlingly moving. Looking forward to Derek Jacobi's take on it later in the year.
I often get a bit choked up as the curtain comes down and/or during the curtain call, when I know I've seen something special. A View from the Bridge, Arcadia, After the Dance and All My Sons were recent ones, where the emotions just really hit me after it had finished.
Given how fabulously well-done Part 1 was, I will be very disappointed if I don't at least come close to tears at some point in Henry IV Part 2 at the Globe in a few weeks, since there are parts of it that really get to me just reading it. "I know thee not, old man."

I've cried every time I've seen Next To Normal in the scene where Dan is left alone and finally "sees" Gabe - it's truly heartbreaking.
Also, I always choke up at the end of Follies when Sally realises the awful truth and says "God it IS tomorrow."
And I cried when I saw Love Never Dies when I thought of how much I'd paid to watch such utter twaddle. LOL

I was a little overwhelmed at Jodie Prengers redition of 'As Long As He Needs me' - The Reprise and the first time I seen wicked, the flying portion got me a little.

The only times I've got choked up at musicals are
- Les Mis as the ensemble start 'Do you hear the people sing?' in the finale.
- Blood Brothers when Mickey shouts "Why didn't you give me away, mam?" A man doomed by his social background railing against fate in his final moments. We already know the ending from the Prologue, but I still find it shocking when it comes.
- The song 'Beautiful' in the Menier production of Sunday in the Park with George with an old woman bewildered by the changing world urging her son to capture the beauty around her before it fades as the autumn leaves fall.

The Fantastiks, as it was so bad, that could bring a tear to a glass eye.
Not really that emotional but 'Next to Normal' he's not here and 'Les Miserable' Bring him home, as it reminds me of my late brother.

Next to Normal but for personal reasons more than anything.
Les Mis whenever anyone dies.
Love Never Dies but that was through boredom of the final scene more than anything.
