I'm going to be unoriginal and agree with:

Why-Tick..Tick, BOOM!
As If We Never Said Goodbye-Sunset Blvd.

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.

Yes I must say though I do like the show, the opening is the high point and never matches it!

YES, circle of life was worth the price of the lion king ticket right then and there. The rest... wasn't. haha

not quite Broadway, but Make Our Garden Grow from Candide.

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 I ASK OF YOU REPRISE- POTO
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.

"Unusual Way" from Nine
"Send in the Clowns" and "Every Day A Little Death" from A Little Night Music
The finale from Les Miserables ("Take my hand...")

The 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).

"And They're Off"- A New Brain
