What song(s) have given you chills and made your heart rate speed up while witnessing them being performed on stage?
For me:
"Rose's Turn" - Bernadette Peters
"Defying Gravity" - Wicked OBC
"Once Upon a Time" - Eden Espinosa
"Astonishing" - Sutton Foster
Even though I left the Plymouth less than thrilled about what I had just seen, I thoroughly enjoyed "Once Upon a Time." Some may say it was because of Eden's supposed shrieking, but who knows.
Yours?

Les Miserables "One Day More"
The song is just amazing, and the huge chord at the end gives me chills.
Also... when Michael Ball sings "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables"
or Philip Quast sings "Javert's Suicide"
amazing...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this like the "Eargasms" thread? However, since I don't care about things like that, this is my list:
Idina Menzel "No Good Deed" and "Defying Gravity" CHILLS!
Tonya Pinkins "Lot's Wife" I wanted to rip my clothes off, that's how powerful that moment was!! 
Joley Fisher "Cabaret" I was in the way back of Studio 54, screaming like a nut person when she sang those last notes...truly amazing.
Raul Espraza "I Don't Care Much" I just love him!
That's all I can think of right now.

Posted: 12/20/04 at 10:35pmYES IT IS! I forgot about the Eargasm thread. Damnit. I've even been reading that one for the last two days. Maybe that's where I got the idea, haha.
