What I Did For Love- A Chorus Line

I love this song!

[LaCageAuxFollesFan2]

I'd have to go with "Till We Reach That Day" from RAGTIME as well...OMG the feeling that overcomes a person during and after that song is nothing short of cathardic.

Of course I also believe "The Best of Times" from LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is a song that is very Emotionally Charged. When Albin as Zaza breaks into song it may be to entertain the guests at Chez Jaqulene...but, the hidden message of love, support, and undersatdning from Albin to Jean Michele who is about to be wed to a woman, which Albin this is unjust in itself, is not only extremely powerful and emotioanlly charged, but extremely thrilling and rewarding all at the same time.

I just thought of another song that's great energy-wise.

"The Girl Gets Around" from Footloose. This guy I know is playing Chuck Cranston in a production I'm currently in of Footloose and he's friggin amazing! He's an excellent actor/singer/dancer and he great at the role of Chuck.

"A Weekend in the Country" ALNM
"Sunday" SITPWG
"Next" from Pacific Overtures's revival when the set exploded. Bawled.
"Our Time" MWRA So hopeful.

First thing that came into my head: One Day More

[jczelyph]

Posted: 7/30/05 at 3:43pm

I second 'Another Day' from RENT. I love when the Life Support group turn to look at Roger and sing the "There's only us..." motif at him. And he is fighting against Mimi's message. I had a spine chill at that point.

Sidenote: I don't really class 'What You Own' as an ensemble number since only two characters sing it. It doesn't fit with the rest of the suggestions on this list.

"Sunday," Sunday in the Park With George
"A Weekend in the Country," A Little Night Music
"There is a Fountain/It Don't Make Sense," Parade
"Real Big News," Parade
"What I Did For Love," A Chorus Line
"I Hope I Get It," A Chorus Line... not sure if that's the name of the song, though...
The finale from Passion
"The Impossible Dream" finale from Man of la Mancha
"One Day More!," Les Miserables

"Song Of A Summer Night" from The Most Happy Fella.

[Calvin]

Posted: 7/30/05 at 4:32pm

Count me in on the "'Til we Reach That Day" bandwagon.

Also, when everyone except Cliff, Sally, Herr Schultz and Fraulein Schneider sings "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" at the end of the first act of "Cabaret" is a very disconcerting, uncomfortable moment in that show.

Till we reach that day from Ragtime indeed. And the courtroomscene from Martin Guerre. And what about "You're rocking the Boat"from Guys and Dolls?

[MyDreamsRecurring]

I'm jumping on the "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" bandwagon. Chilling

[Millie Lammoreaux]

Posted: 7/30/05 at 6:18pm

To those already mentioned from A Chorus Line, I'd add "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love."

[Broadwaygirl22]

Posted: 7/30/05 at 6:44pm

I agree with "La Vie Boheme". I can't wait to see Rent in theatres!

[superstarjpp]

Posted: 7/30/05 at 7:51pm

I'm not sure anyone posted this one but "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat" from Guys and Dolls

[Unknown User]

There are many emotionally charged songs in Piazza, but many of them are duets or trios...

Instantly I thought of
Aiutami - The Light in the Piazza

[FosseBoi]

A lot of what yall have said, and the lepers scene thats right after the timple scene, in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. I'm doing the show right now and that scene is so draining, being a leper and all!

[Denny30]

Superstar just ends up being this giant group free for all fest
