The entire score of Les Mis and POTO, especially "One Day More", "I Dreamed a Dream", "Stars", and "Javert's Suicide". My professor sings a bad-ass "Bring Him Home".
"What I Did For Love"
"The Party's Over" from Bells Are Ringing
"If I Loved You"
"The Impossible Dream"
"If Ever I Would Leave You"
The last refrain of "Johanna". The guy on the ST dvd with Lansbury and Hearn has a WONDERFUL voice.
"It Only Takes a Moment" is charming.
"Dulcinea"
I usually never cry during songs, but they can still be incredibly moving.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 3/13/05 at 9:17pmYeah normally I don't cry at all during songs but I happened to listen to the end of RENT when I was already having a really bad week and I was just ready to start bawling. I dont know if it would have been like that under normal circumstances but those songs really got me.
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

"I'll Cover You" from RENT
I also agree with Dreamcatcher. At the end of Act II in Rent is really a tearjerker.

Sweeney Todd's Finale gets me every time... but only in the concert version, because it has "Beggar Woman's Lullaby", which always rips me apart. Man of La Mancha (especially the Broadway Revival)'s finale also gets me.
Lots of Bare... "See Me", "Role of a Lifetime", "All Grown Up"... Into the Woods - "No One Is Alone" made me cry the first time I saw it. Lots of Ragtime, "Wheels of a Dream", "Your Daddy's Son", "Til We Reach That Day", "Make Them Hear You", "He Wanted to Say".
All of Parade and Last Five Years.

Glinda's Candy:
"Who Will Love Me As I Am?"
GREAT one. I forgot to mention that one; it's not from a show many are familiar with. Two girls with phenomenal voices in my voice class sang that. Which reminds me... one of them also did "You Don't Know This Man" from PARADE. When she finished, we all just sat there silently until, from the piano, I said... "DAMN." We're doing PARADE next spring, and she'll most likely be cast as Lucille.
