I'll start:
I was watching the taped version of SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE (I am too young to have seen the Original Production). I thought the first act was brilliant, but, in the first 20 minutes of Act II Iwas losing focus of the new storyline. However, then Bernadette Peters, as her own daughter, dressed grandmotherly and wheelchair-bound, sang "Children and Art". As she sang to her dead mother about George, I found myself sobbing, silently so I would be able to appreciate the performance. For the remainder of the show I was in tears. That song/performance holds the distinction of being the only song that I have ever cried from seeing. Bernadette's brilliant performance even comes through on the OBCR, which I listen to often.
What other songs/performances have moved you to tears?
