Super second Kerry's whole track in Without Love. Amahzing.

RENT - "you'll see boys" "I like boys" "Boys like me"

TMM - Gavin Creel's "When I met you...When I me-eh-eh-eh-et you."

WICKED - Thank Goodness (Cheno brings a little Southern draw to the word 'thank' that cracks me up.

GYPSY - Can I just say the entire overture? Okay, great.

GREASE - Billy Porter's rendition of Beauty School Dropout (eat your heart out Taylor Hicks) umm...the riff he does on JOB...wow

SPELLING BEE (tear) - My Unfortunate Erection: the riff down on "you wanna know WHY...)



..for now.

I love the bass chords in the off-Broadway revival recording of Godspell.

The last unison "I love you" the parents sing in "The I Love You Song" from Spelling Bee.

I can't really describe it, but in "The Night That Goldman Spoke at Union Square" there's a small instrumental that's played as Emma Goldman was speaking and every pause after Mother's Younger Brother sings. I just ADORE the sound of it, it just reminds me of the Industrial Revolution because to me it almost sounds like a musical sound a machine would make. Yeah, that's kind of hard to imagine I guess, but that's why I love that moment.

The opening chords of "Take Me or Leave Me" I like the chords on the Original Broadway Recording better though.

During "Children Will Listen" from Into the Woods when the cast sings in unison then harmony for the lyrics "wishes come true, not free" It's just so true and powerful, I'm getting chills just thinking about it right now.

The opening chords of "Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind" from Spring Awakening. I also concur with whoever said Skylar's solo in "Touch Me" The entire song is beautiful, but that solo makes it so real.

Gosh, there are just so many, I can't name them all.

The end of "Why Did I Listen to that Man?" on the Urinetown OBC.

"Heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart!"




*thump*



"Shovel and a mop, Mr. Barrel. You know the drill."

On the OBCR of Sweeney Todd, the sound effect of the barber chair lever being pulled and the bodies sliding down through the trap door (heard several times duing the Act 2 Johanna Quartet). It's a totally fake sound - it's not there in actual performance. It was added for the recording so you could get an idea of what was happening.

I love the riff Euan Morton does at the end of "Stranger in This World" on the Taboo OBCR. I could listen to that part all day.

Im also a big fan of when the horn section comes in and have that little solo part during "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" and then JLY comes back in and sings "I love you baby". It sound so powerful.

I can't stop thinking about the last chorus of "Blackout" on the IN THE HEIGHTS OBCR, when they go "In Washington..." and then the key changes for "look at the fireworks". It makes my heart stop, I don't know why.

i love in "someone like you" (jekyll and hyde) when she says "then suddenly-y-y..." (i think its third from last chorus?)

and in the little mermaid when that one sister sings "She barely sticks her toe in down at the tidal pool" in "She's in Love"...she just has such a funny little voice i love it

[into_the_woods2]

Posted: 6/10/08 at 12:14am

and i know it's a character voice but i can't help it

also, how could i forget in Les Mis "A Little fall of Rain" when Frances sings "i'll sleep in your embrace at last"...chills!!! also "Every word that he says is a dagger in me!" ("In My Life" from Les Mis)

When I was younger I used to love in Aida when Amneris sings "From deep within the tomb...etc" and the rest of that phrase...now, I haven't listened to that cast recording in years.

Merrily We Roll Along, OBC. During 'The Hills of Tomorrow', when the two valedictorian speeches start to overlap.

'And most important, the debt I owe my
generously talented friend and classmate:
Charles Kringas!
- Kringas ... '

The way Geoffrey Horne hesitates/stumbles over the final 'Kringas' is just so sad. And it makes me feel sad. So I have to go back and listen to the Overture, and then everything is ok again. Love that Overture.

Complete Symphonic Les Mis Recording - plumet attack "i know this house i tell you..to...they live ordinary lives" i die everytime i hear her sing that!

Parade Donmar Warehouse - Finale - you can hear everything build up and then everyone comes in and they sing acapella...gives me goosebumps and tears everytime

witches of eastwick - look at me - the key change that Alex does "look at meeee!"

joseph 1991 recording - potiphar - linzi hately doing her belt and all the oohs behind her

billy elliot london - the stars look down various bits in that when its big groups singing always make me melt and also once we were kings when they sing accapella and you can here the chains and gates crashing!

On the OBC of SUNDAY IN THE PARK, in "Children and Art", I love the way Bernadette Peters sings

"Mama is everywhere... he must have loved her so much"

It's so wistful and beautiful

And in the London 1996 COMPANY recording, there's a part in "What Would We Do Without You?", where everyone's singing, and you can hear Bobby sort of groan out loud, like he just can't possibly stand anymore. It makes me smile every time I hear it

And I absolutely LOVE in the London PASSION recording (which has a nice amount of pertinent dialogue), when Georgio (Michael Ball) is talking to Fosca's cousin. Her cousin has said that the reason Georgio could never care for Fosca 'seems obvious' and Georgio says "Not to me it doesn't". His tone is just PERFECT

At the end of Blackout/Fireworks from In the Heights: *firework shoots off* "En Washington Heights" always gives me chills

The Sweeney Revival, Patti's "I love you, I'd be twice the wife she was!"

Raul Esparza's Being Alive, "Alone is alone, not alive"

The ending harmony of In His Eyes from the Jekyll & Hyde OBCR

RENT - OBC - Happy New Year B
Maureen (Idina Menzel) - "I think we need an agent"

I don't know why, but I have played that part a million times. I LOVE it! Yesterday, I found myself asleep in the shower "I think we need an agent!" without even realizing it.

Legally Blonde - OBC - So Much Better
Ensemble: "And then we will see who walks the walk"
Haha, funny story. One time, my computer was frozen and they played the part where they say "the walk" over 100 times. I guess it got stuck in my head, and sometimes I repeat that part for like an hour, just for fun, but I also love, "Wait, where's my cell".

There's more.

I also really like in "Xanadu" when she says "A place". And in, "Ich Bin Es Nicht (Reprise) in "Wicked: Die Hexen Von Oz", when Lucy sings "Gib auf, lass los" at the beginning. One time, I played it 20 times in a row!

In the Gypsy Tony Sampler.. I really love when Patti LuPone sings "Nows your inning. stand the world on its ear! Set it spinning! thatll be just the beginning! Curtain up! light the lights! You got nothing to hit but the heights!

I just love it! And I can't wait for the recording to come out!

I like how at the beginning of "Evermore Without You" (Woman in White) and the overture from The Scarlet Pimpernel you can hear the people blowing into their intruments!

Here are a few that I've thought of while reading this thread:

The harmony in "Move On" when Mandy and Bernadette sing together on the OBCR of Sunday in the Park.

The piano at the very end of Act One in Piazza.

Christine Ebersole singing "I miss him today, and tomorrow, and I always will" in "My Son" from Bright Lights, Big City, and how it changes to "Four lithium carbonate tablets a day and I'm swell. Like hell. Don't tell my son." Chilling.

When Gideon comes in in "Touch Me."

The orchestra punches on the final "High as a flag on the fourth of July" from the South Pacific revival recording.

The three-note violin vamp before "He had this wife..." on the Sweeney OBCR.

Raul's "MOCK me with praise."

The piano bass notes under "I want to be your wife...I want to bear your child" from L5Y, and every time Sherie sings "True" in "A Part of That."

Christine Ebersole is amahzing. Around the World is positively filled with moments I can't get over. I have chills through the whole song. "IIIII(matching mothers note)IIII Loove (back down to regular" note)" from Spelling performed by Derrick Baskin...just insanely amahzing. That whole song all three of them are vocally crazy but that one part sticks out as pure belting bliss. Also the opening "YEAAAAAAH" on the HAIR benefit recording of White Bois, supremely ghetto fabulous gospel high belting!Just amazing! Jennifer Hudson "IiiiIII know You caaAAAAAAAAAAAAAN" (if anyone knows what note this is please pm me immediately THANKS) another just too fierce moment (that she did flawlessly and better than the recording at a performance).
