This is probably just because I was listening to Rent earlier today but the first things that popped into my head are the whole "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" and when they start clapping in "Seasons of Love" (I guess I'm just a sucker for that form a line downstage and sing to the audience thing).

Also, I also too "Being Alive" and especially the mock me with praise stuff.

The I Love You Song (25th Annual...)

Poor Child (Lippa's Wild Party)

But thinking more about it, I get the chills a lot at shows so there are really too many to count. Nothing beats good live theatre.

"The Woman in White- every time she sings "I close my eyes and I still see his face" and of course the sweeping melody that comes right before that moment.

Der Glockner von Notre Dame- Esmeralda (the song, not the character) Wie aus Stein and Einmal"

I agree with both of these.

In the revised version of the Finale from "The Woman In White", right after Laura sings "I close my eyes and I still see his face", an oboe beings to play the Woman in White theme.

"Stärker als wir sind" from "Tanz der Vampire".

The line "Wir trinken blut wir haben null morale" in "Der Tanz der Vampire".

When Meg picks up the Phantom's mask at the end of "The Phantom of the Opera".

During the car chase in "Sunset Boulevard" when the orchestra plays the "One upon a time, not long ago, the head of any studio...." theme.

When the entire orchestra begins to play "Requiem for Evita".

The title song from "The Light in the Piazza".

"The Circle of Life" from "The Lion King". I saw the stage show last summer, and I was absolutely amazed during this song.

I always get chills during Cabaret if 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' before the end of ACT 1 is done right.

Also, most of JCS gets me especially The Temple.

Last, in Gypsy when Mama delivers her 'mamas' in Rose's Turn.

Another one in 110...

The end of "Old Maid" when Lizzie sings "Oh God don't let me, live and die alone." Maybe it's just how Audra did it, but that part gives me chills and leaves me bawling. Every time!
