Most Moving SHOW

There have been many messages about certain songs that are very moving. Which show do you think is very moving. I'm playing Judas in Godspell right now and I must say,I started crying just reading the ending. I know Les Miz is too but lets try to see the not so obvious.

BFO had me tearing up a bit. But it's not really that timeless kind of moving like Les Mis.

robbie - that was so cute :)

ebonic - damn on those tickets, but i tried! anyway, great to hear you played Walter - so when i direct it at some point soon, i'll be sure to let you know! but real quick, i wanna ask about the cast crying at the end (Let the Sunshine In) - i can't get into it right now, because i'm already gonna be late for work. but this is one of those endings that is very hard for the Tribe. Claude's death is obviously a very touching one, and i'm sure the cast became VERY close while rehearsing/performing the show, so i know it's emotional. but i must say it's wrong for the cast to cry at the end aside from (IMHO) Berger, Sheila and Jeanie. The Tribe should not feel or know what has happened to Claude at that point and would be carrying on at the rally as planned. We should talk PM about this topic, because I'm so infatuated with the ending of the show...i'm out!

I also think that the ending of "Merrily We Roll Along" is very moving. "Our Time" has sucha a haunting melody and lyrics that prove Sondheim is a songwriting genius.
