"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

"On My Own" - Les Mis
"Somewhere That's Green" - LSOH (lyrics aren't sad...but just the speed and feel of the song makes it seem depressing)

Posted: 9/7/04 at 11:03amThere are simply too many to choose just one - but I really love Children and Art from Sunday in the Park...that one gets me every time (as do a majority of songs from that show)
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

How about "wishing you were somehow here again" from Phantom?
There's also one in Into the Woods....I can't remember what it's called, but I think it's "You are not alone" it's really sad as well.

Posted: 9/7/04 at 8:46pmI made a lot of people cry when I sang I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables. That is a WONDERFUL song in my opinion.
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."
