The climax of "Another Day" in RENT. I love the harmonies. I can't wait to hear how it will sound in the movie.
Right now, I'm on a major PIAZZA kick. The whole score is amazing, but "Octet" is sticking out to me. I love the canon of "I am suddenly alive. I am suddenly alone." towards the end of the song, after Clara's rant. It's beautiful.

I'll Cover You Reprise + Finale B-- Rent
No Good Deed-- Wicked
When: "It's over now the music of the night!" is sung-- The Phantom of the Opera
A most ingenious paradox.

I'd have to say ditto to everyone else, so im not redundant.
But one thing that gave me major chills and almost brought tears to my eyes was in Big River, the revival. When the entire company is singing "Waiting for the Light to Shine" in beautiful harmony and in perfect, synched signing and all of a sudden when the song climaxes, the music just stops and the singing just stops, but the signing continues and it was just amazing!

I agree with a lot of what's been said already.
I don't think anyone said:
"You Should Be Loved" -- Norm Lewis in "Side Show"
"Anytime" from Elegies -- though I liked Carolee Carmello's better than Norm Lewis's, ironically
"You're Already There" -- Listen To My Heart
"Pity the Child" - Chess
The last line of "The Schmuel Song" from L5Y -- "Have I mentioned today, how lucky I am, to be in love with you?"
The chorus of The Ballad of Floyd Collins: "Oh my Lord, have mercy on soul..."
"Let It Sing" and "Promise Me, Violet" from Violet
"What Is It About Her?" from Lippa's Wild Party
"How Many Women" from LaChiusa's Wild Party
The line "I'm ready to go" from "The Storm" in Marie Christine
And OK, so it's corny, but "As Good As You" from Jane Eyre
I'm sure there are TONS more that aren't coming to me right now...

someone good singing "Confrontation" from Jekyll & Hyde. Esp. with Chuck Wagner... *shivers!* (cant believe im the only one that's mentioned that)
Oh, and "Nobody Needs To Know" from L5Y... okay anything from L5Y... that whole show makes me cry... but i really start ballin with "Nobody Needs To Know". Why? I dunno.
The whole second act of Miss Saigon... esp. when the ghost of ____ (forgot his name, the guy her father agreed to have her marry) comes out and sings that song to Kim.
Um... I got nothin else for now.
Basically any really creepy slow and uneasy song...
Love,
Miss Britt

Posted: 6/9/05 at 12:47ameverytime I see All shook Up during Can't help falling in love (closing to the first act) when the full cast comes on stage and all the lights go up and all at once the all turn to the front and sing "take my hand, take my whol life to" its awsome and I get chills every time!!
Grace: My love for you is like this scar (points to elbow) ulgy but permanent!

Hmmm...this is a great thread!
My choice will have to be:
"Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" from the OBC of Les Miz. It always makes me think of how many damn wars have happened before and after the Les Miz timeframe, and the song fits every timeframe.
"My dreams, watching me said, one to the other...this life has let us down."

For some reason, Flaherty and Ahrens' musicals constantly give me chills, especially "Ragtime" and the grossly underrated "Seussical".
Other chill-inducing shows:
West Side Story
Gypsy
Carousel
Rent

To throw in some new ones.
"Can't Help Falling in Love" at the end of Act 1....SO amazing. That cast is so powerful.
"Find Your Grail" right before the ensemble sings "find a friend..." and Sara belts out "Yeaaaaaah" i Love that part.
When Matthew sings that high(er) note in "Passeggiata" (sp?)

"maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away" -sex and the city
