When Ashley Brown, as Mary Poppins, pulls the lamp and plant and other things out of her carpet bag and then makes the bed appear. I know that sounds silly, but being that Mary Poppins in one of my favorite movies of all time I was in complete awe and amazement. It was like I was 4 years old again thinking, How did she do that? She's gotta be magic! What a special moment.
The final scene of the first act in Grey Gardens when Christine Ebersole sings "Will You?" I absolutely love this song and it completely set the tone of the wondering, floundering unknown and suffocation that Little Edie feels the rest of the show. Brilliant.
The first few moments of Spring Awakening. I was really looking forward to seeing the show, and although I didn't LOVE it, the opening song, "Mama Who Bore Me" with the lilting strings and Lea Michele's calm and beautiful voice was just awesome.
Although I loved practically every moment on this show--these two were my favorite. In Coram Boy Jan Maxwell's character is confronted by the Ashbrook family. Her sensitivity and poise onstage is absolutely breathtaking. The way she shakes her head and says "No!" ugh...it kills me every time.
And Xanthe Elbrick and Charlotte Parry's exchange as Young Alexander and Young Thomas when they both realize one another's passion and gift for music. The scene is absolutely adorable and also very touching. I freaking loved that show.
