-Every note in Piazza
-The Bernadette Peters version of "Being Alive"
-"I am What I am" - La Cage Au Folles
-"Your Eyes" - Rent
-"Johanna" - Sweeney Todd
-"Somewhere" West Side Story
-"The Music that Makes Me Dance" - Funny Girl

Not really broadway, but this song kills me everytime:

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.

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

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."
