One Day More for me I'd say,
I didn't cry, but it was incredibly moving.
When I saw it earlier this month, it felt like the first time I'd ever heard it.
So good.

Posted: 11/25/06 at 3:37pmI didn't cry, but I do find the act 1 closing of CHESS to be quite moving. Anthem, especially when sung by Josh Groban, is an incredibly beautiful song.

Rent always makes me cry for some reason
and I almost cried at All Shook Up
just because I felt that the music was dealing with so many more eliments then it origanally intended

Even though I cannot stand the musical. The end to West Side Story's Act 1 really made me sad.

Elegy from Movin' Out. I was crying pretty hard, well as hard as I'll cry in public.
I second the Jersey Boys end of Act 1.
Very suspensful. You want to know what happens.
wow thats pretty deep...did ya get that off a bumper sticker?

Posted: 11/25/06 at 9:56pmI have to agree with those who said Ragtime, The Color Purple, and Wicked.

Posted: 11/25/06 at 11:09pmThe first act ending of Nicholas Nickleby had in me in tears . For those old enough on the board who saw this monumental production - they will know what i'm talking about.

"Ragtime"'s first act finale destroys me.
So does "Dreamgirls".
"La Cage Aux Folles" occasionally.
As much as I hate the show, the act I finale of "Cats" always moves me.
I've cried joyful tears at many first act curtains of "Hello, Dolly!"

I hate to admit it, but I was moved by the end of Act 1 of Wicked. Rent as well.
I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

One Day More is incredibly powerful. between the music and the company singing together I get the chills everytime!
This may sound strange but the Act One finale for The Producers also gets me. Not saying it makes me "cry" but pretty much anything that involves the cast all singing together triggers a huge smile on my face and im just like..Wow :)

Posted: 11/26/06 at 6:37pmThe Color Purple's Act 1 Finale completely gave me chills. It is such a beautiful and emotional scene.

I wasn't moved to tears, but I was moved when I saw "Les Mis" on the West End this summer. It was an excellent cast!
I'm in the group that came to tears during "Elegy" in Moving Out, both times I saw it.
And I nearly cried during "The I Love You Song" but that's not an Act I finale, so moving on...
