Which is the one number in musical theatre, yes JUST ONE, that leaves you with chills, and in tears. Which number always moves you to your feet to applaud and always stays with you if you listen to it in the morning?
Please choose just one...

Posted: 10/22/05 at 10:21pmI'll Cover You (Reprise) from Rent (minus one terrible rendition that I heard of it where the understudy playing Collins decided to do his best Mariah Carey "Someday" impersonation during the chorus)

Saw it during the First Gulf War, then again during this fiasco.
Cried all the way through.

Posted: 10/22/05 at 10:24pmDefying Gravity. I'm left speechless everytime I see it. The energy during that numder is just amazing. It always gives me chills.

these 2 moments are similar:
in phantom of the opera:
-during the "all i ask of you reprise"
-at the end of "Point of No Return" right before Christine takes off his mask
if done properly, i get chills everytime because of all the emotion the phantom puts into it

"One Song Glory" from Rent. Including the stuff that happens right before the song starts.
And, another moment from Rent. During "Life Support" when Roger comes in with Gordon and sings 'Because reason says I should of died 3 years ago'.

re: Which Number Always Leaves You In Chills#12
Posted: 10/22/05 at 10:45pmI'd have to agree with Patronus in saying "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" Especially when it goes from Angel's Eulogy (the spoken monologues) to that song. I'm already bawling from Collins' line "It's over" at the end of "Contact" but then that song, coupled with the speeches beforehand, just makes me cry harder, if that's possible :)

Posted: 10/22/05 at 10:46pmI guess the end of "Mr. Andrew's Vision" in TITANIC when you hear everyone screaming... not on the CD, but it was there live... that was chill worthy.

re: Which Number Always Leaves You In Chills#15
Posted: 10/22/05 at 10:49pmOh, and speaking of Titanic, at least on the CD, hearing the whole "Lifeboat" scene is chilling, because you can picture it all happening...and to think it actually happened...

Posted: 10/22/05 at 10:52pm"Rose's Turn," Bernadette Peters gave the most haunting performance I've ever seen on stage with this number, I have never been so affected by a number before or after that.

Posted: 10/22/05 at 11:32pmRose's Turn. Doesn't matter whether it's live or a cast recording...that song is amazing.

re: Which Number Always Leaves You In Chills#20
Posted: 10/22/05 at 11:37pm"I Know Where I've Been." Haven't heard Darlene, but Mary Bond Davis within the first few notes sent shivers down my spine.

Just got back from seeing Sweeney Todd...
The Finale left me in chills. I think it is the most intense show I've ever seen.
