Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Elaborate Lives from Aida. I blast that whenever I'm in a crying mood. Always works.

Ellen Greens CD In his Eyes is AMAZING. I caught her here at a great bar called Martunis, and she blew me away. I was expecting Audrey from Little Shop and she gave the most emotional, visceral performance I've EVER seen. Went back and saw her again when she came back. I have never seen anyone feel their performance the way she did.
Some people come into our lives and quietly go, others stay a while, and leave footprints on our heart, and we are never the same.

Jarret - you've got it right. Ellen is not to be believed!! I did OPENLY WEEP at Joe's Pub when she sang "Somewhere That's Green." Several other songs from that cabaret show got me, too.

Lately, the #1 song in that department has been "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler. I can't explain it. Others that either still do or until I listened to it a lot would often had me crying include:

"The I Love You song"-Spelling Bee
"Finale(Somewhere)"-West Side Story
The finale part of Les Miz when the line-to love another person is to see the face of God
"Halloween and I'll Cover You[Reprise]"-Rent
"Defying Gravity"-Wicked(depending on my mood, if I'm going through tough times, it always gets to me)
"Make Them Hear You"-Ragtime
"You'll Never Walk Alone"-Carousel
"A Part of Us"-Once On This Island
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

No One is Alone

- I got choked up just thinking about this song. Its always good to remind yourself that even when life really sucks, someone somewhere is on your side and you might not even know it!

Ragtime Finale
- so overwhelming!

I have to add "Days of Plenty" sung by Maureen McGovern in Little Women. I always hear so many people say they cried during "Somethings are meant to be", but my tears came full-force with "Days of Plenty."
