Sad parts of musical numbers? — Page 3

Les Mis: Little Fall of Rain, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, Bring Him Home, the Finale....ok, basically all of Les Mis. It isn't the happiest of all musicals, is it? hah.

Rent: I start crying at Without You, and I literally don't stop until the end. Without You really tears me up..Angel on the hospital bed. And of course I have to contain audible sobs during Maureen's eulogy and the I'll Cover You reprise.

Wicked: For Good, of course. And Defying Gravity - I bawled my eyes out when I saw it. Just because it's so powerful, and seeing it performed for the first time really blew me away and it was really emotional.

Bare: Though I haven't seen it, the first time I listened to the whole show..I was crying hysterically at the end. (Ok, maybe not hysterically. But a lot.)

...I cry a lot. haha

"Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again"

My dad has been gone for a lot of years now, but when I hear this song the mourning starts all over again. It really hits me in the heart.

Marius: "And I can hear them now,
The very words that they had sung.
Became their last reunion.
A lonely barricade at dawn"


The Aftermath oboe solo in Les Miz.


Radames: I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't want to live like that
I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't wanna love, like that
I just want to be with you!


Fantine: Can this be?
Valjean: How will she end?
This child without a friend.
I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grieve
In such a place as this
Fantine: (yes I did skip a part)
I never did no wrong
Valjean: Is it true what I've done?
Fantine: My daughter's close to dying
Valjean: To an innocent soul
Fantine: If there's a God above
Valjean: Had I only known then
Fantine: He'd let me die, instead...


Kim: How in one night, have we come, so far...

The end of "Your Daddy's Son" gets me every time.

The end of "This Nearly Was Mine"

The end of "Children of Eden" (the song)
