"You'll Never Walk Alone," from Carousel
I agree that Your Daddy's Son is incredible, but when done properly As Good As You from Jane Eyre is really moving.
Anthony Crivello's rendition, for example, is wonderful. Anyone get to hear it?
--M--
"Something Just Broke"----Assassins
Finale of Miss Saigon---something about the music and all it just makes me bawl my eyes out.
I said this the last time the question was asked...
"Don't Cry Out Loud"---Boy From Oz
Your Daddy's SoN- Ragtime
I'm Not that Girl- Wicked
Someone Elses Story- Chess
For Good- WICKED. It's a duet, but I've seen it done as a solo (in cabaret shows). Every person I know who has heard it on the cast recording has cried listening to it.
The Story Goes On - BABY
There's a Fine Fine Line - Avenue Q
Lament - EVITA Again a duet, but can easily be done solo.
Too Much For One Heart - this song was cut from MISS SAIGON. But, Lea Salonga has a cd titled The Broadway Concert, on which she sings it the only time it has ever been sung in public. They replaced it in the show with "I'd Give My Life For You." Anyway, GORGEOUS song and I thank Lea for recording it.
"castle on a cloud" from le mis
"im not that girl" from wicked
"i know the truth" i dont remember what play
"out here on my own" i done remember what play
"i get a kick out of you" from anything goes (its not that sad but if performed well it can be
"one boy" from bye bye birdie (the end is sadder sounding than the begining
i know other but a lot of them are duets or group songs

"your eyes" rent
"millworker's song" working
"how glory goes" floyd collins
I WOULD say "simple" form Nine. But I think that song is sad because of where it comes in the show. pretty much ANYTHING from Les Miserables with a moderately slow tempo is heartbreaking. "Send in the Clowns" is also sad if you perform it with enough gusto.
"your eyes" from rent is a perfect sad song but for one its a guys song...but if youre alto enough to sing it go for it
"Doctor is in" from YAGMCB. It's so depressing and it just about makes me cry everytime I hear it. Reminds me of my middle school days and how I was as mean as Lucy.

Il Adore is such a beautiful song. Sarah Uriarte Berry made me cry when I saw the show.
