sumofallthings: I totally agree with you on that! LaChusia's version hardly gets the recognition it deserves on this board (probably because Idina Menzel wasn't in it,) but I think it's far superior to the crap that was Lippa's. It's chilling to think about that production, it was so moving.
Some of my most touching moments:
The final seconds in the NINE revival when the staircase revolved showcasing all the women in Contini's life one last time, and then as he turns around Luisa runs onto the stage right before the lights go out - it was beautiful.
Various parts of RENT, obviously.
The confrontation scene between Hirsch and Metwally up through the end up SIXTEEN WOUNDED was remarkable.
In GYPSY when Louise looks into the mirror and realizes that she's pretty for the first time.
