Without You- Well somebody doesnt die then and there but it is pretty close to it. So I guess I have to say Contact

I like Charlie Brown's hands... "It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck, being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse."

I 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.

Moments- Into the Woods

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

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!

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Not one but a few.....
Finale (Final Version)- Miss Saigon
Little God of My Heart (First Revision) - Miss Saigon
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

"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

I add Javert's Suicide.

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

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.
