I concur baddadnpa "Sunday" the song made me cry triumphantly it was SO moving

[sweetestsiren]

The only theater songs that (I think) struck me as so beautiful they moved me to tears just listening to them:

"New Music" from Ragtime
"Lesson #8" from Sunday in the Park with George
"Move On" from Sunday in the Park with George
"The Beauty Is" from Light in the Piazza
"Will I?" from Rent
"Johanna (Quartet)" from Sweeney

"Lesson #8," in particular, had me just sobbing one day -- both lyrically and with its musical beauty.

"I Love You" - 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

"Move On" - Sunday In The Park With George

"No One Is Alone" - Into The Woods

[jordangirl]

Posted: 3/23/08 at 8:54pm

"Who Will Love Me As I Am" and "I Will Never Leave You" from Side Show

Almost anything from Next to Normal (the now-cut "Costco" and "Feeling Electric" are notable exceptions ~ I don't dislike them, they just don't reduce me to tears).

"Old Maid" and "Is It Really Me" from 110 in the Shade

"My Brother Lived in San Francisco" specifically Emily Skinner's version from her CD.

"Every Time You're Near" by Alice Ripley ~ found it on iTunes a couple of weeks ago and can hardly stop listening to it. BEAUTIFUL.

Then if we're talking tears of laughter, "I Could Always Go To You" by Alice and Emily on Emily's CD...and the hidden tracks on their two duets CDs. :)

For Good-Wicked
This song has always made me cry(especially with Stephanie and Annaleigh singing it live) but just 2 days ago I said goodbye to my best friend. She decided it was time to move on without me. So now I cry ALOT when I hear it but it's sort of like therapy for me. LOL

"Left Behind"-Spring Awakening(more so when I see it performed especially when Moritz's father starts to cry)

"Fallen Angel"-Jersey Boys(again like LB, as soon as Francine walks out and sits down on the bench, I just start crying).

"Good Old Girl"-Best Little Whorehouse In Texas(right when the cowboys come in since that's where Dodd calls Mona and says he's closing her down)

"Hard Candy Christmas"-Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

"Tell Her I Love Her"-Urinetown

Hearing "Being Alive" by Raul Esparza gets me teary-eyed. It reminds me of his incredible performance.

"Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables is the one song that consistently gets to me.

I had lost a classmate a couple of days before I saw WICKED and just hearing "For Good" made me break down. It always does but it was even more emotional for me then.

One song -

Fifty Percent from Ballroom

[snl89]

Posted: 3/23/08 at 10:58pm

-Left Behind and Those You've Known from Spring Awakening
-pretty much the entire second act of Bare, but particularly See Me, Once Upon a Time, Bare, Absolution, and No Voice (haha, I think I pretty much just named half of the act! But seriosuly, that show is like DEATH)
-Some Things Are Meant to Be from Little Women
-I'll Cover You (reprise) from RENT
-For Good from Wicked
-Being Alive from Company (Raul style )
-Nobody Needs to Know from Last 5 Years
-The entire ending of Next to Normal from I'm Alive (reprise) on. But especially Everything and So Anyway into I am the One (reprise) into Let there Be Light (reprise). This is another show that is just like death, basically.

Bud, I agree about Fifty Percent. Listening to Loudon do it live on the Bway Love Songs cd is an amazing experience.

obsessedjb I am sorry for the loss.

I feel the same way about Amazing Grace cause of both my grandmothers. They played it at both the funerals

Frump:

EXCELLENT choice! I can't believe I forgot it. One of my favorite songs. Absolutely brings me to tears under the right circumstances.

I don't iron his shirts
I don't sew on his buttons
I don't know all the jokes he tells or the songs he hums
Though I may hold him all through the night
He may not be here when the morning comes

I don't pick out his ties
Or expect his tomorrows
But I feel when he's in my arms, he's where he wants to be
We have no memories bittersweet with time
And I doubt if he'll spend New Year's Eve with me

I don't share his name
I don't wear his ring
There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
But he says he loves me and I believe it's true
Doesn't that make someone belong to you?

So I don't share his name
So I don't wear his ring
So there's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
So we don't have the memories
I've had enough memories
I've washed enough mornings
I've dried enough evenings
I've had enough birthdays to know what I want

Life is anyone's guess
It's a constant surprise
Though you don't plan to fall in love
When you fall...you fall
I'd rather have fifty percent of him
Or any percent of him
Than all of anybody else at all

Definitely "I Hate the Bus" from CAROLINE, OR CHANGE (Emmie's "the day come soon, I'll pack up the nothing I own..." is pretty heart-wrenching), and of course the whole "Lot's Wife" scene, beginning with "Sunday Morning" all the way through "Salty Teardrops."
"Sunday"-SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, I lose it when all the characters bow to George, it gets me every time.
"Move On"-SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE
"Too Many Mornings"-FOLLIES
"Shall We Dance?"-THE KING & I, the second the King holds Anna by the waist, and she just loses it and sighs "yes" and then the magnificent orchestra begins with that beautiful dance music and they start waltzing together...it's a perfect moment.
"Simple"-NINE
"Another Winter in a Summer Town"-GREY GARDENS
"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"-DREAMGIRLS
"September Song"-as performed in LOVEMUSIK
"Time Heals Everything"-MACK & MABEL
"I Wish I Could Forget You"-PASSION
"No One Has Ever Loved Me"-PASSION, only when Fosca starts singing, it breaks my heart.
"Whoever You Are"-PROMISES PROMISES, hits too close to home.
"Tell Me On a Sunday"-SONG & DANCE, as performed by Bernadette Peters.

The grand list of songs that make me all sobby... and there are a lot!

Bare- Role of a Lifetime/See Me/Warning/Bare
Les Mis- I Dreamed a Dream (nearly every time), A Little Fall of Rain
Next to Normal- How Could I Ever Forget/Next to Normal
Ragtime- Back to Before/Make them Hear You
Rent- depending on the day Glory/Another Day/Will I?/Without You/ICYR/Goodbye Love/Finale B (the line "Thank God this moment's not the last has become Pavlovian with the tears)
Spring Awakening- The Dark I Know Well/Left Behind/Those You've Known (always!)
The Last Five Years- Still hurting
Tick Tick Boom- Johnny Can't Decide/Why/See Her Smile
Wicked- I'm Not That Girl/Defying Gravity/No Good Deed/For Good

I don't always cry when I hear these songs but catch me on the wrong day and any could trip me up!

If Only - THE LITTLE MERMAID (Love the music and the quartet from Sierra, Sean, Norm & Tituss)

For Good - WICKED (Kristin & Idina were fantastic together)

I Dreamed A Dream - LES MISERABLES (Lea Salonga's version always made me teraful. She brought so much emotion to the role)

On My Own - LES MISERABLES (Kerry Butler's version was brilliant)
