Posted: 4/16/06 at 10:24pmI never got to see it; did Beth die during Some Things Are Meant to Be in Little Women? Or was it right after? Because I love that song.

I like Contact, and I guess The Point of No Return because Piangi dies.

MAN OF LaMANCHA!
i think it's The Impossible Dream reprise. with the dialogue. And Aldonza singing. it's very very sad. i remember it's the only time i've seen soldiers cry.

Beth dies a little bit after some things are meant to be.
My favorite death song has to be:
"you will not touch him" from Miss Saigon!
So Amazing!

Not one but a few.....

Sacred Bird (Original Version) - Miss Saigon
If I Loved You Reprise - Carousel (well, the guy was already dead when he sung the song)
Come to Me (Fantine's Death) - Les Miserables
Little Fall of Rain - Les Miserables
I Have Dreamed - King & I (Does this qualify? Luntha gets executed after this song.)

And no singing is actually involved.
But how can anyone top when The King dies during Chulalongkorn's speech at the end of "The King And I."
I DARE you to watch it and not cry.

Somewhere/Finale in West Side Story.
Also in addition to those not mentioned:
Your Eyes(Mimi dies...momentarily)
All That Jazz
And granted it takes place right after the death, but it's about it and I love it so much so I'm putting it anyway:
Til We Reach That Day-Ragtime

A Little Fall of Rain. Special place in my heart. Not the best, but Oh how I was Eponine in High School.
Second place is "Something Wonderful" (reprise) and "By The Sea/Little Priest Reprise) AKA finale right before Mrs. Lovett's death.
