and
Tell Her I Love Her from Urinetown

Most of these are completely unoriginal but...
A Little Fall of Rain - Les Mis, always tugs
Empty Chairs - Les Mis, I remember seeing this with Jon Lee as Marius and the feeling he put behind it made me cry at the song for the first time
One Day More - Not necessarily to make me cry but does make me *feel*
You Must Love Me and Don't Cry for Me - Evita Revival, Elena Rodgers put so much into it, it was very touching. After hearing Madonna sing these songs and leaving me flat it was brilliant to hear another sing it.
Circle of Life - After seeing the show the memory of how this is performed almost brings me to tears everytime.
Most of The Last 5 Years especially 'Goodbye until Tomorrow/I could never rescue you'
Only the good die young - WWRY
Finally, My Child and Tell Me It's Not True from Blood Brothers. Have me bawling every time. Especially the latter sung over the boys. So so emotive if performed well.

Oh yeah Circle of Life was beautiful to watch. The only good part in Lion King if you asked me. Watched it and cried and then basically fell asleep.
anyways on a happy feeling song. Out Tonight always gets me in the mood to go to a party.
RIP Natasha Richardson. ~You were a light on this earth ~

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Let me see..
FABLE - Light in the Piazza
ONE DAY MORE- Les Mis, but only if that red flag is thrown up at the proper time, if not you lose the whole number, i think.

ALL FOR LAURA and ACT I FINALE= Woman in White
FINALE- Mary Poppins
TILL WE REACH THAT DAY- Ragtime
FINALE- PASSION, cry like a baby!
FOR GOOD- Wicked, for the main reason as it brings back a major memory of when my high school theater co. sang that song in our spring revue and it was the year a bunch of senior friends were leaving, we were all crying backstage on the last night we all sang it together.

Til We Reach That Day-Ragtime
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Posted: 7/31/06 at 7:15pmThe last song in Benny and Björns musical Kristina is pretty heartwrenching. The musical will perhaps premiere on Broadway next year. I saw the phantom of the opera on dvd some weeks ago and of course the situation when he receives back the wedding ring is very emotional. I think Edelweiss in the sound of music tears at my heart string in a very nostalgic way (not that i experienced the 50s - but still).
