| I rarely get particularly emotional when I go to musicals. Sure, a teary-eye here or there is normal for me but never all-out weeping...except once. I saw the original production of PARADE. and the cathartic song "All the wasted time" in which a husband--condemned to die--and wife sing about all the time wasted not just loving and respecting one another. I just couldn't hold back the tears. Even now, when I hear the song, I get a huge lump in my throat. | |

| "I'll Be Here" from Ordinary Days, "A Little Fall of Rain" from Les Mis, and the reprise of "I Am the One" from Next to Normal. Also, as someone mentioned, "Bui Doi" from Miss Saigon. Nearly every time. | |

| Sometimes it's more when I sing them myself than when I hear them, but a lot of times happy, or really joyful songs make me cry... from the sheer momentum of that. Like "You Can't Stop the Beat"... it's overwhelming, and also slightly emotional, like when the Mom sings "you can't stop my happiness cause I LIKE the way I am ... ... then, I just don't give a damn!" That gets me whether it's supposed to make me cry or not. And "Sing Happy" does it too. For me, it's being overwhelmed by any emotion, not just sadness, that can bring me to tears. | |

| Agreed on 'All The Wasted Time', and many others mentioned here. I was never moved by 'All The Wasted Time' on the Broadway cast recording, but I recently heard Bertie Carvel on the Donmar recording. I believe he deliberately used a mildly annoying, 'fussy' character voice for most of the score, but finally let Leo open up and fully express himself - vocally and psychologically - for that song. Brilliant. Others would include, on occasion: - Leslie describing her daydream in 'The Desert' from Giant - Finale from The Most Happy Fella - 'What would you do?' from Cabaret - 'Bess you is my woman now' from Porgy and Bess | |

| I lose it every time I hear it. I played it w/o earbuds in the back of a cab one night, and when it was over, I saw the driver was crying as he said, "What a beautiful song". A dear friend knew she was dying several years back, and I played her the song and asked if it would be appropriate for her memorial service. She thought about it a few minutes and said, "Absolutely". A beautiful Broadway actress recorded it for my friend to leave to her daughter after she passed. That same actress came to the service and sang it live. Last Saturday, the daughter got married, and the opening song at the pre-cermony was the recording she had cherished since her mother's death. Lots of weeping ensued. | |

| "Fight the Dragons" (Big Fish) - choking back tears "Life Support/Will I" (Rent) - just a huge mess, but it was also my 1st Broadway show so I was overwhelmed with emotion "Children and Art" (SITPWG) - makes me miss my grandmother enormously "For Good" (Wicked) - yup, it got me too. "Falling Slowly" (Once) - I cried at the orchestration, when the strings came in There are many others--I'm also prone to sobbing at how gloriously wonderful everything is and how happy I am at that moment! | |

| I think that when push comes to shove, even the snottiest, brattiest people here love to be moved to tears. I know I do. And for that reason one song that always makes me weep is "A Quiet Thing" from FLORA THE RED MENACE. Also "Mr. Snow" and "When the Children Are Asleep" from CAROUSEL. | |

| Yes for Michael Hayden's Soliloquy! I mentioned this song as well, and qualified it with "sometimes" and that's what I meant... Hayden's performance of it is what gets me. The acting is so good, and despite what some say I think his vocal is quite good and certainly enough to serve the power of the song. | |

| There's a one-two punch at the end of EASTLAND, a new-ish musical: "A Small Mystery" and "Only the River Remains." The former is about an elderly woman who claims the body of her grandchild from a makeshift morgue, before revealing that she's the only one in the family left. The latter is about how those lost in the disaster - and, by extension, everyone listening - can and will quickly fade from life and memory. And yet, somehow, the knowledge of that mortality feels OK, in no small part thanks to Andre Pluess and Ben Sussman's melody. | |

| “When There’s No One” from ‘Carrie’ -- I mean the title alone says it! -- does it for me. Every line, nearly every word, illustrates Margaret’s utter despair. She has finally lost her daughter and she realizes there is only one deathly action that needs to happen. The placement of that sorrowful number – Margaret’s spiraling descent just as Carrie is starting to blossom, gain confidence, and be accepted by most of the teens who formerly shunned her – is powerful to me. I don’t agree with Margaret’s pending actions, but the song does make me feel for her. | |

| Fully agree. I saw both Buckley and Mazzie, and in performance, the song is everything you say and more. It's one of the most haunting ever written, its simplicity part of its near poetic illumination of losing one's child to adolescence and adulthood, King plot be damned. | |

| One that gets me is a song in a show that doesn't necessarily wring tears, "Blood Brothers." But one moment in it: "Sunday Afternoon," absolutely hits me in the solar plexus. It's probably the shortest, it barely makes a blip before another number charges in over it. Yet for me it's the saddest song about childhood ever written. The movie "Boyhood" actually made me think of the "Sunday Afternoon." | |

| Falsettos.....What Would I Do This is one of those songs that I have such an intense personal connection to that it makes me cry automatically - I'm sure most of us have a few of those. In my case, it (only, lol) concerns a very tough breakup that I went through in the year after after Falsettoland played off-Broadway. Though I also imagine that the literal subject matter of the song - losing someone to AIDS - has made this a very personal song for many people because of the specific context, the early 80's setting of the show, and the early 90's premiere (which I still consider somewhat early in terms of our dealing with the epidemic). Another AIDS-related Finn song that brings me to tears is "Monica And Mark" from Elegies. Those sections where they start singing in neutral syllables especially. The music is very emotional on its own terms, but that very "primitive" expression of wordless singing evokes something incredibly powerful, given the context. (And the way that, when it happens for the first time, it literally interrupts the narrative, giving the sense that the singer can't even bring himself to finish his own sentence.) | |

| Agree, totally, LovestheShow. "Fiddler on the Roof" was on tv Sunday afternoon. At "Sunrise," tears flowed. Had the honor of being at a performance of a Sheldon Harnick musical at the York this year. Got to see one of the composer-lyricists in person.

| I may catch some flame for this but "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" from RENT has the ability to get me. I almost always got chills and whoever was playing Collins hit that note right, I would be gone - especially if he was in tears too as many a Collins would be. I am such a RENThead that I have the final performance video on my iPod and iPhone and often just play it to listen to the soundtrack while I walking to Penn Station. The piano key strike before the last song always cuts me to the bone. | |

| I may catch some flame for this but "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" from RENT has the ability to get me. Related to what I said above about Finn's "What Would I Do" and "Monica And Mark" - no matter what one may think of Rent, I agree that this song is potentially a powerful one for those of us that grew up in the initial days of AIDS. Not that it can't affect anyone else, of course, but I think the specifics of living through that era bring a special resonance to the song, and others like it. | |

| Currently: ''Ghost Story'' from ''The Last Ship.'' I'm not an easy cry, but Michael Esper has gotten me every time I've seen the show. As Gideon, he wrestles with his prickly feelings about his father, and how he make the journey from fury to forgiveness, through Sting's touching lyrics, is amazing. I hope Esper's powerful performance is remembered at awards time, but I fear it'll be crowded out by the newer ones in the spring shows. What a shame that PBS isn't recording THIS version of ''Last Ship''; I do hear, however, that Lincoln Center is filming it. | |

| I just saw it last night and was going to mention "Ghost Story", too! A beautiful performance and it did move me to tears. Am I the only person left alive who still chokes up at "Old Man River" and the reprise to "If I Loved You"(particularly as sung by Gordon McCrae)? | |

| Let me add "Love To Me" from "Light In The Piazza", "This Nearly Was Mine" from "South Pacific", "What Would You Do?" from "Cabaret" and "The Flesh Failures/Let The Sunshine In", which has made me cry every single time I have seen "Hair." (Five, and that's not counting a few for the film.) | |

| Fully agree. His "Pugilist" number at the top of act two is simply wonderful, everything such a song should be in the musical theater. He's in every way the center of this moving show, and I, too, hope he's not forgotten. | |

| Great topic! "Requiem for Evita" tends to leave me weeping whenever I see it performed (I've seen an amateur staging, a professional tour, and the film). Despairing tears: "The Bells of Notre Dame" and "Hellfire" in Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" make up some of the most moving stretches of animated features I've seen. Similarly moving songs for me include "The Mob Song" ("Beauty and the Beast", though I was unmoved by its stage counterpart) and "Deliver Us" ("The Prince of Egypt"). I'm one who was fine with the film adaptation of "Sweeney Todd"; when I first saw it there were long, long stretches that left me awash in tears, including the entirety of the final 10 minutes. Surprisingly, the "My Eyes Adored You" and "Fallen Angel" sequences in "Jersey Boys" made me cry (and hard too) when I saw it in Las Vegas. And the only song that made me cry just from listening to it on a cast album would be "I Am What I Am" as performed by Douglas Hodge on the "La Cage Aux Folles" revival cast recording. | |

| Also, the final reprise of "With One Look" in "Sunset Boulevard" was a perfect match of song and staging, at least in the U.S. tour staging (which was more or less what they did in the big cities, wasn't it?), and I did shed a tear. | |

| I don't get weepy much in life, but music really has the power to bring it out of me, so there's quite a few musicals that do it. Off the top of my head: (this list gets long so I stopped writing explanations at a point) -Merrily We Roll Along, "Our Time" - especially once the "years from now, we'll remember and we'll look back" and then all the way to the end of the finale graduation scene and "Hills of Tomorrow" reprise. -Pacific Overture, "Next" - a weird one I'm sure, but the song is so overwhelming to me, the way the song just bulldozes and undoes the beauty of the world we've been in. -Sunday in the Park with George, "Sunday - end of act 1", "Move On", "Sunday - end of act 2" ... this show really kills me. In fact i might even shed a tear in "It's Hot Up Here" when Dot sings "and for the hat." The subtlety of emotion in this show, and the build of it, is just tremendous to me. But outside of the obvious relationship emotion, the "Sunday" songs move me to tears... the tear up point is often once the trumpet comes in. The beauty of the art coming together and the choral work just does it. Also might shed a tear in "Finishing the Hat" -Parade, "All the Wasted Time" - gotta agree on that one. And also the "Finale", and also "Factory Girls/Come Up to My Office" and "That's What He Said" for the twisted power of them -Floyd Collins, "How Glory Goes" - if I haven't gotten to a tear in the beginning of it, it will come for "will my mom be there waiting for me, smiling like the way she does and holding out her arms as she calls my name? She will hold me just the same" and will continue/kick in more once he starts the echoing after "I can see so far!" A stunning and emotional expression of death and an incredible way to end the show. -Into the Woods, "Stay with Me" sometimes, almost always "No One Is Alone" -- but not in the movie. "Stay with Me" brought a tear or two in the movie, but they made the unforgivably stupid choice of cutting the last and best verse of "No One Is Alone", the one that finally brings me to tears. And also, if the actor does it right, "Your Fault" when the Baker says "no it isn't" in response to Jack blaming his recently dead wife... almost no one I've seen playing the Baker has taken advantage of this very very pregnant moment, including Corden. Oh, and if things are going well, "No More" and "Lament"... but only the full Lamet on the CD. -Hair, "Flesh Failures/Let the Sun Shine In" -Rent, "I'll Cover You reprise" and "Without You/No Day But Today reprise/finale" -Man of La Mancha, "Impossible Dream reprise" -Les Miserables, "Come to Me/Fantine's Death" but maybe only when sung by Ruthie Henshall (certainly not as sung by Randy Graff) -Grey Gardens, "Around the World" and "Another Winter In a Summer Town" -Carousel, "What's the Use of Wonderin" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" and maybe "Soliloquy" -The Lion King, "The Circle of Life" and "Endless Night" -Dessa Rose, "12 Children" and "At the Glen" and "In the Bend of My Arm" -West Side Story, "Somewhere" -Damn Yankees, "Goodbye Old Girl" -Little Shop of Horrors, "Somewhere That's Green" and "Suddenly Seymour" -Evening Primrose, "I Remember" -Anyone Can Whistle, "Anyone Can Whistle" and "With So Little to Be Sure Of" -Follies, "In Buddy's Eyes", "The Road You Didn't Take", "Who's That Woman?", "Too Many Mornings", "The Right Girl", "One More Kiss" and the chaos part of "Live, Laugh Love"... and, cut from the show, "All Things Bright and Beautiful" -Camelot, "Camelot reprise" -Once, "Falling Slowly"... the song just moves me -Blood Brothers, "My Child" - there's just something about when Mrs. Johnston sings "I'll keep him warm in the winter, and cool when it shines" that kills me. -Bernarda Alba, the finale... I mean, the entire show is one pulsing nerve building to the end, and it does make me cry -Company, "Being Alive" and "Another Hundred People"... I know that's a weird one, but when the music explodes it takes me. -Kiss of the Spider Woman, "She's a Woman" -Caroline Or Change, "Lot's Wife" and the finale when Emmy sings "I'm the daughter... of a maid..." -Spring Awakening, "Left Behind" and "Touch Me" and "Whispering" when she says "See the father bent in grief" and on. -1776, "Momma, Look Sharp" and "Compliments" that's all I can think of for now. but surely there are many more. | |

| Yes to most of these. Also, from Wise Guys/Gold/Bounce/Road Show, the bit from "Talent" when he sings "Just enough talent to know that I hadn't the talent--so I put my dream and my self-esteem to rest". And, as a parent, I cannot hold on to it when I hear "The Hardest Part of Love" from Children of Eden. | |

| Ditto on RENT and Les Mis (I especially love when the Fantines emote well when Cosette appears - some barely react - that's your grown up daughter woman!!). I love Falling Slowly too. Once has always resonated with me from the first time I saw the film. while some of the others do not bring me to tears per se, they do leave me emotionally spent. | |

| Definitely a great score. ZORBA had the misfortune to open in one of the strongest season ever for new musicals (1968-69). It had to compete against 3 blockbuster hits: PROMISES,PROMISES, 1776, and HAIR. Nevertheless, the show got solid reviews and 8 Tony noms, winning only for scenic design. It apparently got lost in the shuffle. The Best Plays volume of that year predicted that it would return its investment, but it didn't happen. It closed after only 305 perfs. The revival in '83-'84 did better at 362 perfs following a year-long pre-Broadway tour with Quinn and Kedrova as the leads. The revival was a hit. It's a mystery to me why this show has not become a staple in regional theater -- great score, recognizable title, sturdy book. | |

| Yeah, the darkness of the material was mentioned a lot in most of the '68 reviews. I've never seen a production of Zorba. It hasn't been done in the Chicago area in over 20 years. I love the OBC album and the movie on which the musical is based. I'm hoping to catch the Encores production in May. BTW, did you play Nikos? | |

| The finale of "A Catered Affair." The young couple have a repeated refrain throughout the show that goes "I'll never stop saying I love you." In the finale, everyone onstage is singing it, and for the last three words they all cut out, and Tom Wopat turned to his wife (Faith Prince) and sang them to her alone. After everything that had come before in the play, it made such a wallop, and I lost it. Just sobbed. | |

| "Sweet River," cut from 110 IN THE SHADE, but included in the first "Lost in Boston" CD. It's so plaintive and full of yearning, not to mention a beautiful melody. | |

| The song that opens the faucets for me is from The Phantom of the Opera, "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" particularly as performed by Sierra Bogus but also Sarah Brightman. Also, "What Did I Have That I Don't Have" from On a Clear Day... | |
