Gypsy - Rose's Turn

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Catch Me If You Can - "Goodbye"
Promises, Promises - "Promises, Promises"

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

EVITA really ends with Che, though Lament is, indeed, the last song.

Well, the show itself doesn't really end with a song, but the last song in The Music Man is Harold Hill's reprise of "Till There Was You"

"Well, the show itself doesn't really end with a song, but the last song in The Music Man is Harold Hill's reprise of 'Till There Was You'."

Seems to me a lot of shows listed in this thread actually have an additional scene after the last number. As we all know, there is a short scene after "Rose's Turn". Even MY FAIR LADY, however brief Eliza's return may be, doesn't really end with the solo.

Shows where the final curtain falls on the applause for a solo seem much rarer, if that's what the original poster intended. As noted above, FUNNY GIRL fits. Also MARCH OF THE FALSETTOS.

The first thing that came to mind was my old VHS copy of Mary Martin in PETER PAN. I'm not sure if the stage version ends the same way since I have never seen it, but I can never forget Mary Martin singing that last bit - "...in Never Never Land!"

Does it count if like Company they actually finish with a group reprise--or is that basically curtain music (and there is a final, short scene).

Umm, probably too obscure, but Positive Role Model from Closer to Heaven immediately popped in my mind.

I may be mis-remembering, but what about something like Phantom's very brief end reprise of Music of the night? Similarly I'm pretty certain that Aspects of Love ends with yet another reprise of the one song I dislike in the show, Love Changes Everything.
