Lili Taylor has made me cry twice on two separate occasions: Aunt Dan and Lemon and Landscape of the Body. I walked down 42nd Street crying for a good ten minutes after Landscape.
As far as musicals go, I was fighting back tears during Jacques Brel..., especially during the combined wallop of Natascia Diaz's "My Death" and Gay Marshall's "Marieke". "Fable" from Light in the Piazza always gets me whenever I hear it, too.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
