I think that's "Oh-oh my god, oh-oh, yeah yeah yeah"

"How could she just suddenly, completely disappear into thin water?" - The Little Mermaid

During "The Hills of Tomorrow" in Merrily We Roll Along as the older Frank is saying "Because I know the rules..." and the group is singing "Better look back" and then those four notes and the younger Frank sings "How did you get there from here, Mr. Shepard?" I don't know why, but I love that moment

There's a lot I am not certain of...

~The whole Wicked OBCR is done superbly well.

~I love the last chord progression in Mama Who Bore (reprise) in the Spring Awakening recording.

~ In the Last Five Years when Jamie and Cathy sing together in The Next Ten Minutes.

~Heather Headley's money note in Dance of the Robe in Aida.

~ Patti Lupone in the Sweeney Todd revial in the Finale when she sings "No no not lied at all...." gives me chills

~ Ted Neely singing Garden of Gethsamene(sp?) on the OBCR of JCS and Ben Vereen just anytime he opens his mouth on that recording.

there are many more but those are my favorites.

"Not a Day Goes By" in Merrily- the change before the "but I just go on thinking and sweating and cursing and crying" lines

"Remember" in Little Night Music - I LOVE the string orchestrations in the beginning

Gotta love Sondheim

The morning star always gets wonderful bright the minute before it has to go --doesn't it?

I love Michael's death gasp on the Sweeney Todd revival recording. Oh and the opening notes in the first Ballad of Sweeney Todd.

I love the way Audra McDonald says the line "and paris in June!" in Stars and the Moon, even though I don't know what CD thats from.

I love Johanna Gleason's "for whatever!" in "Moments in the Woods" and Chip Ziens final "No More" in "No More" both from the Into The Woods original cast album.

"I wouldn't let Esparza's Bobby take my kids to the zoo...I'd be afraid he'd steal their ice cream and laugh."- YankeeFan

The finale track of the obcr for A Little Night Music. After they reprise send in the clowns the etheral waltz starts again, but just the way it builds up is so amazing.

High Society - During "High Society/Let's Misbehave" when the song changes into the next (1:25 into the song)and the trumpets come growling in and the maracas start. I just want to get up and mambo i love that moment

"I swear to God i'll never understand
How you can stand there straight and tall
And see i'm crying
And not do anything...at all."

That just gets me EVERYTIME I hear it.

Pretty much the orchestrations/openings of every Sondheim OBCR sends chills up and down my spine.

Oh and "Now that i've seen her, I know why he LIIIEEED."

Claire Moore's voice gives me goosebumps. :)

"We need people not to come to Broadway shows wearing shorts and flip-flops. We are working hard up here folks. Find a pair of socks."-Joanna Gleason "I hear L. Ron Hubbard is gonna blow the ladies...and all that jazz! C'mon babe! We're gonna unicorn hug, I bought some NyQuil down....at Wal-Mart?!"-Bebe Neuwirth singing ATJ to Musical Mad Libs at DQYNJ :)

In one of the Joseph revivals, the narrator is British. She sings
"Joseph's coat and handsome figgah....."

Same show, in the mega mix, the baker or the butcher sings
"I look handsome I look smart, I am a walking work of art" and does a really cute little riff on "work of art"

It's the little things :)

--At the end of "A Gift for Living Well" (The actual track on the CD), when Jill Paice says "take this! Something to remember me by!" and the instrumental reprise at the end of the track of "The Holly & The Ivy" when you can literally hear Maria Friedman in distraught.

--The music inbetween "What Have I Done?" and "At the End of the Day" in LES MISeRABLES.

--The small instrumental reprise of the "Let's Have Lunch" jingle in Sunset Boulevard as Norma enters the studio (The L.A. Cast one)

--At the end of the Overture when (i'm hating that I'm forgetting her name) sings like "la la"s.

On most of my OBCRs, I like how there's an echo after everyone speaks/sings. Somehow, it makes it seem as if I am in the theatre!

Mary Testa's "Cher" voice on the second(?) verse of "Evil Woman." Hilarious.

Into the Woods (OBC)- "No More" - Mysterious Man's entire part.
Sweeney Todd (Revival)- "Epiphany" - Cerveris's "They all deserve to DIE!!" He's the only Sweeney that I've heard to really put conviction and weight behind it.
tick, tick...BOOM! (OOBCR) - "When I emerge from B minor or A, 5 o'clock diner calls, I'm on my way..."
Rent (OBC)- Roger's first "Time flies, time dies..."

Now, mother always said that whenever you hear a strange, frightening, and potentially life-threatening ghostly chant coming from the dark woods that there's one thing that you should do: Not wake the others and go investigate it alone...

*In Jekyll And Hyde's "Your Work--And Nothing More" around 2:07-ish, when you hear Utterson's part of "before you forever determine your FATE": It totally sends shivers down my spine. The timing is way too good on that!

*In Man of La Mancha with Placido Domingo and Julia Migenes, the duet with Sancho and Don on said song is one I love too, as well as the last reprise of "Man of La Mancha". "I Really Like Him" on that album never fails to make me smile either--it's just something about Mandy Patinkin's delivery.

*Admittedly, I haven't had a chance to listen to all of Evil Dead: The Musical yet, but I find the vocals on "It Won't Let Us Leave" haunting and funny at the same time (in a good way).

Bow before the cuteness of my cousin!!! ;]

RENT: OSG- "Time DIES......"
"Because reason says I should have dies 3 years ago"
Mark's line in Goodbye Love: "...to survive!"
The final "No day but today!!!!!" in Finale B
Really, if I typed them all from RENT, I'd be here all night long. :)

LB: The way LBB sings "drive" in Legally Blonde (the song.)
Also, Kate's infamous "shoes" note.

TTB: In Come To Your Senses, the final "Come Back"
In Real Life, the final, echoey, "Is this real life"
Everytime Raul says "something's breaking my baby's heart"

Wicked: Idina: "Boo!"
Cheno: *ahhhh!!* (at the end of What Is This Feeling?)

"It means nothing to come and sit in a theater night after night and immerse yourself in fantasy, only then to walk out the door and be unchanged in reality. This show will live on in our hearts. But where it truly must survive is in our actions, our compassion and our generousity of spirit towards one another." - Adam Pascal on the closing of RENT

The Last 5 Years:
-"When we get to my house take a look at that town, take a look at how far I've gone. I will never go back, never look back anymore. And it feels like my life led right to your side and will keep me there from now on."
I love the music and Sherie's vocals on that part. Fannnntastic.

Sweeney Todd (Doyle Revival):
-The Beggar Woman's screamy/belty "City on Fire". Gives me some chills.

Aida:
-During "Not Me" when Radames, Aida, and Amneris all start singing together on "And who'd have thought a love could be so good?" in the final verse.

Tommy:
-Marcia Mitzman's "I'd like to declare this devotion and care is the life to live. That nothing has changed and that time isn't passing us by." during "I Believe My Own Eyes"

"Who says you can't bend over backwards and eat bugs if you want to? I guess the bugs would probably say you can't do that that, but assuming that they are willing and consenting bugs, then there's no problem. Let's wig out eating bugs." -RuPaul

The cord progression in "As Long as You're Mine" both after the lines "and though I may know I don't care--just for this moment" and during the you in the "I know I'll be here holding you" at the end

but basically I just love the whole song

Into The Woods, original cast, during Giants In the Sky, the lyric "the roof, the house and your mother at the door."

Delivered so beautifully. All the emotion OF the song is in that one line and his delivery.

"Just remembering you've had an 'and' when you're back to 'or' Makes the or mean more, than it did before..."

I am glad this thread keeps getting bumped. I keep forgetting to list some of my favorties.

LES MISERABLES:

Kaho Shimada's "pretending" near the end of "On My Own," on the CSR recording of "Les Miserables." Kaho's slight pause before she sings it is very effective.

Les Mis, the music in between the "Thenardier Waltz" and "Look Down." It is kind of chilling and sets the mood for the next scene well.
MISS SAIGON:

Lea Salonga's "You will not take my child!" during "You will not touch him.(very powerful and determined)."

LION KING:

Heather Headley's "Take this prayer, what lies out there, lea halalela," during "Shadowland." She holds out the ending so beautifully.

Company - the end of tick tock, disturbing!

TL5Y - the wedding scene, when Kathy starts to sing, haunting!

Gypsy - the opening bars of the overture, chilling!

Nine - in "Simple" when Carla comments the talking of the others in the song while these still talk to her, fab!
