When you walk through a storm hold your head up high............from Carousel

i would have to say the last like 5-6 songs in the second act of Bare. talk about crying your eyes out. (and i cried just LISTENING to it. I can't imagine how it would be live...)

yes, yes...that song from bare -- "Ablution" (or whatever the title is) where Peter confronts the priest in the confessional. I lost it crying and gasping in awe. amazing. And I haven't seen it live either. It's so short that I'm not sure if you can call it a song...but it's incredible.

"Who Are You Now" from FUNNY GIRL always tears me up.

[Joelbeans]

Posted: 6/14/05 at 11:12pm

I do have to agree with What Would I do from Falsettos, and How Could I Ever Know from Secret Garden. Both of which I have had the opportunity of performing in productions. I also think that Once in a Lifetime from Rothschilds. I agree with most of the ones already posted so far.

FROM GOOD Wicked
GOODBYE UNTIL TOMORROW/I COULD NEVER RESCUE YOU L5Y

they both make me cry, probably because i can relate them back to my life.

Posted: 6/15/05 at 12:35am

'Bring Him Home' from Les Mis. I cry every single time.

"Broadway songs on my iPod playlist that my friend lovingly refers to as the 'slit your wrists playlist'"

I need to make one of those myself. My list would include:
"I Don't Care Much"--Cabaret
"Someday You Might Love Me" and "Do You Know What It's Like?"--Zanna Don't
"Still Hurting," "See I'm Smiling," "Nobody Needs To Know" and finale--L5Y
"Send In The Clowns"--ALNM
"There's A Fine, Fine Line"--Avenue Q
"Your Eyes"--RENT
"I Loved You Once In Silence"--Camelot
"My Dogs"--Elegies
"Lift The Wings" and "Caoneidh Cu Cuchulainne"--Riverdance
"Drink With Me" and "Bring Him Home"--Les Mis

Non-Broadway songs would be:
"Comfortable"--John Mayer
"Brick"--Ben Folds Five
"Hallelujah"--Rufus Wainwright
"Kathleen Mavourneen"--traditional Irish song
"Into The West"--Annie Lennox
"When She Loved Me"--Sarah McLachlan (possibly the most devastating song ever written)

"What I Did For Love" - A Chorus Line, expecially in the context of the show.

'slit your wrists playlist'...frighteningly accurate term!

[Whiteguy2088]

Posted: 6/15/05 at 1:13am

Wow...No Sideshow - I am shocked

That whole musical is a tearfest

So. May Choices
"I will never leave you" Sideshow (hell the whole musical)
"For Food" Wicked
"Goodnight Saigon" Movin' Out [ i am sorry but that song is extremely moving and powerful ]

[Sumofallthings]

Posted: 6/15/05 at 1:18am

The end of Cabaret, especially the revival. I bawled like a little girl!

[Sumofallthings]

Posted: 6/15/05 at 1:18am

For some reason the end of Live Laugh Love from Follies gets me too!
