"One Song Glory"- Rent, but only if sung by the right actor.
"I'll Cover You: Reprise"- Rent (I'm surprised no one said this yet.
"Somewhere"- West Side Story
"Stranger to the Rain"- Children of Eden
"Unworthy of Your Love"- Assassins
You must think I'm still sixteen. I dropped out of high school for a reason. And I don't care if you're pretty. I'm not admitting you are right. My soul is not a stage. I won't pretend I'm anything I'm not

#1 for me is "Around the World" from Grey Gardens... I'm such a baby when it comes to that song! lol

There are soo many others, but "Move On" from Sunday in the Park with George comes to mind at the moment.

Oh lord! Well to start the entire second act of RENT is pretty emotionally draining...

Also, For Good from Wicked because Kristen's last performance of that song where she and Idina were all upset is in my head, on top of it just being a really sad song.

Ummmmmm...
From SA, Those You've Known always gets me and so does Left Behind. And Legally Blonde from LB. I'm sure there are more I am over looking....
"It means nothing to come and sit in a theater night after night and immerse yourself in fantasy, only then to walk out the door and be unchanged in reality. This show will live on in our hearts. But where it truly must survive is in our actions, our compassion and our generousity of spirit towards one another." - Adam Pascal on the closing of RENT

Goodbye Love- Rent
Being Alive- Company
"He found something that he wanted, had always wanted and always would want— not to be admired, as he had feared; not to be loved, as he had made himself believe; but to be necessary to people, to be indispensable." -F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise

I know most of these have been said already but...
Some Things Are Meant To Be-Little Women
I Wish I Could Go Back To College-Avenue Q
A Way Back to Then-[title of show]
The Beauty Is-The Light in the Piazza
For Good-Wicked
You Walk With Me-The Full Monty
There's a Fine, Fine Line-Avenue Q

Some of these really only got me when I saw them live, and I would usually just kind of tear up. I don't typically really cry over a play, only on occasion.

>>>"I guess it's hokey to say it, but when Billy Bigelow sings the reprise of If I Love You in the second act of Carousel (after he's dead)..." >>>

Especially when he changes the lyrics ( from the original), thus --

"Now I've lost you
Soon I will go in the mist of day
And you never will know
How I loved you
How I loved you"

For my 30th birthday, my partner took me to see "The Fantasticks." I don't know whether it was just that I was seeing it on a milestone birthday or I was a little blue about getting older or what, but "Try to Remember" and "They Were You" made me cry. They both still do.

What's odd is that I'd known both songs for years before that and neither had any emotional effect on me at all.

Lament - Evita
You see, obsessions are very personal things, they come from deep inside us, where we are open and vulnerable, which is why I consider them sacred, not to be belittled....PalJoey
