so, so many ... but i must say when i heard the opening number of TITANIC, which was the first show i ever saw on broadway, it was absolutely chilling to hear them all sing I MUST GET ON THAT SHIP.

You know, I only recently joined, and I love Wicked a lot, but creating a whole thread just so you can say you think Defying Gravity gives you chills, come on? But thanks for covering it up by not putting it first, really made a difference :)

'Will I?', 'Another Day' and 'Halloween' from Rent gave me the chills

'One Day More' and the Finale from Les Miserables left me totaly awe struck

'My Strongest Suit' from Aida made me want to scream something along the lines of 'you go girl' haha

I didn't create a thread just so I can say that "DF" gave me chills when I saw the show. Please, you're new here right? This isn't exactly my first day at the rodeo, my friend.

"given you chills and made your heart rate speed up"
The above symptoms lead me to come to the diagnostic conclusion that you have experienced an eargasm.

From themes denoting the pursuit of ideals or love of country

The Impossible Dream ( Man of La Mancha
The reprise of "Camelot"
Anthem ( Chess)
Do You Hear the People Sing/ ( Les Miserables)


From the sheer beauty of the singing --

Seeing is Believing ( Aspects of Love)
Love Changes Everything ( Aspects of Love)
Too Much In Love to Care ( Sunset Boulevard)


From the sheer emotion or the romanticism--

Once Before I Go (The Boy from Oz)
Dulcinea ( Man of La Mancha)
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables ( Les Miserables)
With One Look ( Sunset Boulevard)
People ( Funny Girl)


I have probably forgotten a few others at the moment - but I know that I love live performances because of the emotional impact that musical theatre has on the audience.

"confrontation" from Jekyll and Hyde. I dunno, maybe it was just seeing it live (on the tour), but the power that the guy has to put into that song, and the emotion and the energy, gives me chills.

Usually, its not a song that gives me chills - its the performance - so I attribute the chills to the performer, combined with good material.

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 12/21/04 at 9:11am

Isn't that a given? I didn't mean just the songs, I had specific performances in mind, as I'm sure everyone else did.

Thanks BwayBoy88. That gave me chills and I was onstage singing with him. Not to be picky but you left out about 30 of the folks in the choir. It was Mr. Arden and 80 astounding voices.

I know this seems lame, but A New Life from Jekyl & Hyde. When I saw that with Lucy and the bed all in white it was breathtaking.

That's the first thing that comes to mind... I'll have to think for a bit.

Just last night I witnessed Chuck Cooper absolutely taking the breath and stopping the heart of the entire audience when he sang about the death of JFK in Caroline, or Change. Unbelievable!

This type of discussion ALWAYS makes me remember Jennifer Holliday singing And I am Telling You from Dreamgirls.
