broadwaybelter, that same moment makes me cry too!
Darlene Love's rendition of "I Know Where I've Been" in Hairspray has gotten me choked up a few times. She seems to get more and more into that song each time I see the show.
In Avenue Q, when Rod is having a "session" with Christmas Eve on the steps, he asks her why he doesn't have a special someone to keep him safe. When he says "I miss Nicky!" and starts to cry... that moment gets me every time.
"The world is a better place because of hairspray." - Michael Ball
I bawl everytime I watch the ending in ITW and during Children will Listen and No one is alone I get choked up during the "Mama I'm a pretty girl" part in Gypsy The ending of Gypsy when Rose and Louise walk out together "a picture in a lady's magazine...Madame Rose and her daughter....GYPSY" and teh subsequent exit music. "Make Them Hear You" and end of Ragtime
But the all time winner is: "The Music Still Plays On" from A NEW BRAIN...so reserved, so honest, so compelling...I want to cry every time I listen to it.
"Art is always in crisis: you must work fast to write in the breath on the window."
-Edward Bond
1) When Fantine is dying and sings the line "and tell Cosette I love her and I'll see her when I wake". Gets me every time. 2) When Gavroche is shot 3) When ValJean is dying at the end and Fantine sings "Come with me, where chains will never bind you"
In Wicked, during the end of "For Good". I teared up for that one! So sad to see the friend you love most go away!
In Rent: during the entire reprise for "I'll Cover You". Also during "Goodbye Love" when Joanne & Mimi say they'd give anything to have what Angel had, someone to say I love you to. And the line on "One Song, Glory" about "one song, before the virus takes hold".
Also watching "Diary of Anne Frank" when Otto Frank was reading Anne's diary at the end...I was shamelessly bawling!!!
Tick Tick Boom: When Jonathan is talking about how he wants to write a great rock musical with songs "that people will listen to and remember." I find it so upseting that, in real life, he did just that but never lived to see the impact it would make.
Les Miz basically when all the character's die. They mean so much to me... im a sucker :)
And all of Rent Act 2: Gets me so hard. Just thinking this is going on around me and "One Song Glory" and all I can think of is poor Jon Larson... Like I said I'm pretty much a sucker whenever someone dies!
I like Charlie Brown's hands...
"It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck, being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse."
When Audrey dies in Seymour's arms at the end of little shop. It's just a sad moment.
The ending of Phantom because he comes to the realization that he will never have Christine.
Fallen Angel cause it seemed like the right song for that moment in Jersey Boys when Frankie finds out about his daughter overdosing. ________________________________________________________________ "You're home again, so won't you close the door. Stay here with me, and we'll forget what's gone before. Just hold me tight, our love is gonna make it." -Jersey Boys
RENT ICYR beautiful song. It makes me cry every time.
Goodbye Love and Without You

"They're singing, "Happy Birthday"
You just wanna lay down and cry
Not just another birthday, it's 30/90
Why can't you stay 29
Hell, you still feel like you're 22
Turn 30 in 1990
Bang! You're dead, what can you do?"
--TTB
When Sweeney find out that the Beggar Woman is Lucy, just that moment, it is so sad.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
It's bizarre, but the only two moments I cry during "Wicked" are when the monkeys first get their wings behind-bars and when Elphaba pulls the blanket up off of Dr.Dillamond. I'm just a sympathetic animal lover I guess.
Mine would have to be in Beauty and the Beast where Belle thinks that the Beast is dead and says "No I love you". I also get all choked up during "To the Lifeboats" and "We'll meet tomorrow" in Titanic.
It was 6 hours, I don't even like to have sex and eat bacon for 6 hours. Freddy Benson- Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Definitely "Days of Plenty" from Little Women... AND "Some Things Are Meant To Be"...so much weeping.
I'm seeing Spelling Bee soon and I'm almost positive that I'll be crying during the "I Love You Song".
and for some reason when I'm listening to Bright Lights, Big City, I always cry at the very last song because it's so nice that he cleans himself up and such. I'm a sap.
I always cry at the end of FALSETTOS, LES MISERABLES and RAGTIME, even though I've seen them all multiple times and can do it from memory...I still cry...
"I'll Cover You" (reprise) from RENT. Man I saw the show for the first time last March and I just lost it here, as well as I did during this part in the movie.
"Your Eyes" from RENT; not sure why...maybe I was just in a sappy mood then.
"Shadowland" from The Lion King; there was something about the power of the Nala that I saw along w/ the visual aspect of it all and she is doing something for her "people" and its so heartfelt.
I'll be expecting to bawl during Sutton's show at Feinstein's, The Color Purple, and LITP over this spring break, simply because I'm a sap...
