Made you cry? — Page 3

"But hey, i cry at hallmark commercials... it doesn't take much for me. "

A person after my own heart!! I, too, tend to get weepy at those commercials.

I remember getting teary at Shenandoah long time ago. I also got choked up at the end of Camelot, which I saw with Richard Burton, not long before he died, and a bit teary at the end of The King and I. I haven't seen Les Miz live, but when I watched the Anniversary concert, I cried in four places; when Eponine dies, seeing the bodies on the barricades, when Marius sings Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, and the end when Valjean is dying -- oh how I cried at that part!

I also got a bit teary eyed in Boy From Oz during "I Still Call Australia Home." I'm not an Aussie, but as someone who lives and works faaaar away from home and family, the song hit home for me.

I'm not a cryer, and I have never wept at any musical. The one play where I came close to tears was the original I REMEMBER MAMA with Mady Christians. What became of her subsequently at the hands of HUAC would be enough to make most people cry! What a waste of such a wonderful talent.

Miss Saigon - The Fall of Saigon Number where Kim is seperated from Chris, I cried so damn hard. And ofcourse when she dies.

Les Miz - Gavroch's death

Aida - When Aida and Radames are put into the Tomb

House of Bernarda Alba - With Chita Rivera when she finds her daughter committed suicide.

"New Music" from RAGTIME, when Sarah ran into Coalhouse's arms.

Flower Drum Song-when everyone starts saying where they are from at the end.

Aida-when Radames and Aida walk towards each other at the end. Waaaaaaah!!!!!

La Boheme-just overcome with the incredible BEAUTY of that show.

Thoroughly Modern Millie-I started crying during Only in New York and lost it at the very end when we see the new modern.

I cry EVERY time I see a production of West Side Story

During Phantom, I cry during "Wishing you were Somehow Here Again" ,because I think about my dad.

Carousal, of course.

Probably a million others...I'm a huge crier...

I'm not a big on crying myself but I do admit to getting misty while Orfeh was singing "Little Girl Blue" in Love, Janis to her *acting* Janis counterpart. The actress(can't recall her name) was sobbing uncontrollably and it made the audience hysterical, and so on. The whole double role thing was a bit odd to me. But it was a very touching song delivered beautifully by Orfeh

haven't ever cried at a musical, but would have when Joan Roberts sang in the FOLLIES revival (didn't get to see the production, nor Ms. Roberts in the original OKLAHOMA, but the combined effect would have done it).

Did cry at the last scene of ANGELS IN AMERICA (Part II) in NYC, MILLENIUM APPROACHES in London, and for GOOD BOYS last month at Stages here in Houston. Dramas get me more than musicals.

Not an easy crier, but goodbye scenes can get me. For instance, despite myself, i could get moved during the early years of ER and by that otherwise terrible movie that the ER director did, DEEP IMPACT.

I'm not a big crier, so when I even get close to it, it's a big deal for me. I cried all throughout Bernadette's last performance of AGYG, don't ask me why...

I came this close (holding fingers about a centimeter apart) to crying in WICKED and MOVIN' OUT.
