The moments that make us want to see the show again...

I am terribly sorry if this topic has been discussed to death, but I have not noticed a thread about this *specific* thing. I thought it might be an interesting read.

What are specific moments (not whole scenes or songs, if possible) of a show that make you want to revisit that show?
For example, for me it would be:

*possible spoiler*

In Spelling Bee, when Olive gets the second place $25 prize and gives it directly to the lady. The look on Celia's face was so endearing. I'm a sucker for things like that and I would want to see the show again just for that.

*end spoiler*

Also, in Little Women, Jo and Prof. Bhaer's kiss at the end always made me so happy. The way Sutton threw herself on him and then pushed him away was so funny. I loved it!

Anyone else?

"Defying Gravity" in Wicked.

That IS brilliant, katurian. SHE'S brilliant.

I took my family to the show on Thursday, and even my dad, who hates the theatre, LOVED her, so I figure that's pretty huge.

Hey, I saw the show on Thursday, too! Where were you sitting? We were in Orchestra Row W.

Wow, does anyone else have a favorite moment before the year 2000? Not that I have a problem with any of moments that are already mentioned but I'm just curious.

We were in Orchestra row M, left side. I loved being far back because the last time I saw it I was second row, and you could see the lift used to fly the car because you were so close. It made it slightly less magical. But only slightly:)

katurian! You ruined the magic of how Chitty flies! ::cries::

Definitely (as I mentioned in an earlier post) "On a clear day..." from Taboo, that line is just so chilling. ESPECIALLY with Euan Morton singing it. I've tried on many occasions to match his tone, but it just seems impossible.

I agree with the, "It's Me!" in Wicked, or even the end of For Good.

"Wow, does anyone else have a favorite moment before the year 2000? Not that I have a problem with any of moments that are already mentioned but I'm just curious. "

Here's one: In The King and I revival with Yul Brynner -- the "Shall We Dance" scene, and Mr. Brynner's curtian call.

More recent: Hugh Jackman's entire performance in BFO.

In London: Michael Ball, as Count Fosco, singing "You Can Get Away with Anything" in Woman in White.

WHen Sherie says "Let's get that Greek" and form then on until the end of DRS. Something about how she says it...also "Dirty Rottne Number".
