It's hard to beat the finale of THE KING AND I. And being old enough to have seen the Herman Levin production of MY FAIR LADY on the road, I'll always remember the curtain coming down on Higgins and Eliza, and then rising and falling again for a "tableau" call for the two of them before the general cast call- very classy.

In the Heights. Also, the finale/title song from Beautiful. Something about those first few chords gets me.

"The Flesh Failures/Let the Sunshine In" specifically from the Hair revival always brought me to tears.
"Whatsername" from Americam Idiot also got me emotional but that's more of a personal favorite.

The finale to Follies is heartbreaking and emotional. Probably not what you're looking for when a show ends but still love it.
A Chorus Line has the most spectacular ending of any show I've seen on Bway.
I wasn't sure what the ending to Hamilton was. Didn't understand why she was putting her hand out and up, thought it was a bit "dramatic" for this show to end like this.
Little Shop original theatre ending.
Here Lies Love.

It's my guilty pleasure, but Beautiful's really does it for me too.
More classically, I thoroughly enjoyed She Loves Me.
This isn't a finale question, but during curtain call for Hello, Dolly! is there still white flower petals showering the audience? That curtain call will be etched in my mind for the rest of my life.

I will go with the musicals "Hairspray", "Avenue Q" and "In The Heights" which left me leaving the theater in a fantastic mood.

While most of the show doesn't do much for me, "You Can't Stop the Beat" is an infectiously fun finale to Hairspray.
The Finale to Sunday in the Park with George always makes me tear up.
The finales to both Dogfight and Dear Evan Hansen, while simple reprises sung by the company, are both just devastating.
