What is the most or some of the most moving preformance(s) you have seen on stage or heard on a cd?

I'd have to say mine are:
Victoria Clark in Light in the Piazza (Everytime I hear Fable I start balling)
George Hearn in Sweeney Todd
Michael Crawford in Phantom of the Opera
Gary Beach in La cage aux folles
Patti LuPone singing Meadowlark from Baker's Wife

I'm interested to hear what you guys have to say and sorry in advance if this is a topic that has already been posted

For me it was Ragtime at the Papermill last year.

At the end of act one, when sarah dies, almost everyone in the audience was crying. Kenita Miller's performance was amazing! And Rachel York was such a great mother!

Such an incredible and moving performance!

Julia Murney in Wild Party during "How Did We Come To This?" always has me in tears, as does Norbert and Sherie in The Last Five Years.

Victoria Clark in Piazza was moving for me in two ways. One, she was just spectacular in that show, but her performence brought my mother to tears. This was the second time I have ever seen my mother cry.

Aaron Lazar's "Love to Me". I get choked up in the theatre at the end of that song and also when I listen to the cast recording.

When I saw RENT for the 5th time in October (1st time on Broadway) I was most moved by the "I'll Cover You Reprise" WOW!

The actress who played Julie in London's revival of SHOW BOAT (Hal Prince revival).

Peter Karrie as The Phantom in TPOTO. Wasn't the first time I saw the show but was (and still is!!) the most heartbreaking I've seen.

Josie Lawrence & Keo Woolford in THE KING AND I revival in London. Had seen it once before with Elaine Paige & Paul Nakauchi but Josie & Keo just had SO much more chemistry!

Christine Ebersole just blew me away in Grey Gardens. I was already very familiar with the story and the movie but nothing can prepare you for that heartbreaking ending. I dont think there was one dry eye in the house.
