always give you the chills?

Posted: 6/7/05 at 11:37pm

Hey guys! I was thinking about this topic a little bit today and I thought I should post a question about it. Are there any specific parts of shows or specific performers that ALWAYS give you the chills...in a good way =)... every time? Hope this wasn't posted already (sry if it was...but I checked)

I want to know your thoughts!

When I saw Phantom last month in Boston, both times I got massive chills at the end of "The Music of the Night", mostly due to Gary Mauer's amazing-ness.

Sutton Foster gives me (recent) chills from the Little Women soundtrack. She manages to put so much emotion in her singing that you can tell what her character might look like.

During Dracula I always got chills during "Before the Summer Ends." More specifically, "I'll keep my word..." That note during "word" always got me.

Mark Richard Ford singing "I'll Cover You-Reprise"
Raul Esparza-Anytime he opens his mouth to sing
Idina Menzel- "Defying Gravity" and "The Wizard and I"
Audra McDonald- "Daddy's Son"
Michael Arden- "The Letter" from Easter Rising
Jenna Leigh Green- "I'll Wait" from Easter Rising
Norm Lewis- "The Flesh Failures"
Matthew Morrison- "Il Mondo Vita" (I think that's the title) from Light in the Piazza
Melissa Errico and Darren Ritchie- "Whitby Bay"- Dracula
Shoshana Bean-"Bless the Lord"-Godspell

Yeah i think that covers it.....by the way great topic!!!

-Andy Karl's solo verse in "The Calling" from Altar Boyz - its the only part of the show where he gets to show off vocally, and its phenominal.

-Norbert singing "If I Didn't Believe in You" from L5Y.

-Shoshana Bean singing No Good Deed.

-Cary Shields' "One Song Glory."

-Any time Jenna Leigh Green opens her mouth to sing.

-Sutton Foster singing anything
-Kristen Chenoweth "There are bridges you've crossed you didn't know you could cross until you tried" during Thank Goodness
-Ulla's belt during When You Got It, Flaunt It

There's probably more that I can't think of now.
