Gavroche's death gets me every time. EVERY TIME.

I'll Cover You Reprise...RENT. (Especially once I noticed Angel's space in the line was empty.)

"And if you're beautiful, what then, with yellow hair, like wheat.." The whole sequence in Sweeney Todd, where Anthony and Sweeney and Johanna are singing at once, and people are going down the chute-chair contraption. I know it's weird, but I find that really beautiful.

I am what I am ...La Cage...

Oh, lots and lots.

Ragtime - Same. Coalhouse Jr.

A Raisin in the Sun (not a musical, but a tear jerker)

Les Miserables - when Dudu (David) Fischer sings Bring Him Home

Aida - when the box closes in on them

"There is a Fountain/It Don't Make Sense" from Parade. I cried like a baby. The part where Mary's friends name details about her ("She had two crooked teeth...") breaks my heart every single time. I had tears in my eyes during "Tell Her I Love Her" in Urinetown too.

Never cried, but got chills:

CIVIL WAR - "Tell My Father," "How Many Devils?" & "The Glory"

LES MISERABLES - "One Day More," "Bring Him Home" & "Finale"

CAMILLE CLAUDEL - "Gold" (Finale)

SECRET GARDEN - "Lily's Eyes" & "How Could I Ever Know?"

There have been many that make me cry, some not so much as others.

WICKED--Defying Gravity and For Good, such powerful songs with such great meanings. I love Idina's voice. I know, I know I probably shouldnt say that but I did.

RENT--Practically the whole second act. It is so powerful and moving. I had heard the sound track previously before seeing it in the 7th row in January and I was just utterly amazed.

Les Mis-- WOW what a show. A little fall of rain is pretty sad, not only for Marius but also for Gavorache. Also Empty Chairs at Empty Tables. I also think that One Day More is pretty great.

West Side Story, the Anita rape scene gets me every time, as does the ending...

The reprise of "Fine fine Line" that Princeton sings to Kate in Avenue Q. I think it's musical theatre perfection.

For Good from Wicked gets me alot, Somewhere Thats Green (reprise) where Audrey dies really got to me and basically the last half of RENT. I know it was only with the cast recordings/audios but they made me so teary eyed. I'll be bawling rivers when I see them live if I get teary eyed from the cast recordings. :-P

[FOAnatic]

The finale to "Cabaret" gets me everytime.

[Blair]

Posted: 2/15/05 at 12:19am

It wasn't sad or anything and maybe I'm just weird, but when I saw 42nd Street, I cried during "We're in the Money", and the title song. All of that energy and passion that those performers had...it was just so inspiring.

Gliding - Ragtime

There is a Fountian/It Don't Make Sense - Parade

[rKrispyt]

Posted: 2/15/05 at 12:37am

oh man...so many...

Alright, so Make Our Garden Grow - for sure.
Bare during All Grown Up and...well, other stuff that's obvious - don't want to give anything away.
Miss Saigon - that ending (what used to the painted bird or whatever)
Wicked during Defying Gravity - couldnt' stop crying all during intermission - it's just so inspiring. That and when Chistery gives Glinda the bottle...just makes me bawl like a baby everytime that Glinda pulls back that curtain looking for elphaba going "elphie?" and realizes she's gone. eek...tearing up now...such a loser
Some Things Are Meant To Be - c'mon, I'm not made of stone people!
Ragtime when little coalhouse runs out at the end (same for chip in beauty and the beast at the end)
Hairspray - Good Morning Baltimore and You Can't Stop The Beat - just cause I wanna be Tracy so bad it literally makes my heart ache to the point I cry - SUCH a loser, I know!
...I could be here all night, so I'll stop there, lol. :)

Yeah Wicked gets me so badly. But RENT is the winner for "Musical that makes me bawl." I was having a semi-bad day and was listening to it in my free-period class and when they started on I'll Cover You (at Angel's funeral) I just started to tear up. It took all my energy to keep me from bawling right there in class.

The last thing I saw on Broadway that made me cry was the scene ending right before and the "I Honestly Love You" number in THE BOY FROM OZ. I was thrilled to see Jarrod Emick in a show again, and I didn't see him at all that song because of my tears.

And then I just saw the HAIRSPRAY tour and Charlotte Crossley tore up "I Know Where I've Been", and seeing how proud the ensemble was to be onstage for that song wrecked me (in a beautiful way). I was sitting too close.

Also when they did "Without Love" because at the moment I don't have what the characters had onstage, it was bittersweet, and I quietly sobbed. I know, pathetic.

Tears at a show is the best therapy for me.

and one more.

I ushered the previews of LOVE, JANIS.

I watched it every night from the back of the house and tears every performance. Especially during "Little Girl Blue".
That Catherine Curtain made the biggest impression in my heart.
And that's all the crying I'm gonna give on this board.

The end of Caroline or Change - Larry and Emmie and Jackie and Joe, the Children of Caroline Thibodeax.

Well, for me a teary/crying moment vs. a shiver/chills moment correspond to different emotions. But here are my chills moments ~

Wicked ~ Defying Gravity (pratically the whole thing), No Good Deed (Fiyero .... FIYERO!)

Les Mis ~ Prologue (several of the prisoner solos), Valjean's Soliloquy (this is all I have lived for - this is all I have known!), I Dreamed a Dream (with their voices soft as thunder), On My Own, The Confrontation (my race is not yet run!), Javert's Soliloquy (shall his crimes be reprieved? Philip Quast hits the note the best )

Miss Saigon ~ Why God Why?, I Still Believe (Ellen's solo), Bui Doi, The Fall of Saigon

Phantom ~ Phantom's solo (you will curse the day you did not do ...)

And then my teary moments (I've never actually cried) ~

Les Mis ~ Heart Full of Love and Bring Him Home

Wicked ~ For Good and Finale

Miss Saigon ~ The Fall of Saigon (don't take my love away not now *sniff*)

Phantom ~ Wishing You were Somehow here Again (as sung by Emmy Rossum *nod*)

Can't think of a many other really memorable moments ... but those are mine

Most of (the second act) of Caroline will move me to tears. Tesori's score & Kushner's lyrics are nothing short of heartbreaking!

The Last 5 Years. I remember a tear droping down my cheeck watching JRB sing 'Nobody needs to know' with full band. 'All that I ask for is one little corner. One private room at the back of my heart'. Ouch!!

the end of Into The Woods alway's gets to me.

Falsetto's

&

Saigon were my original tear Jerker's.
