Which is the one number in musical theatre, yes JUST ONE, that leaves you with chills, and in tears. Which number always moves you to your feet to applaud and always stays with you if you listen to it in the morning?
I'll Cover You (Reprise) from Rent (minus one terrible rendition that I heard of it where the understudy playing Collins decided to do his best Mariah Carey "Someday" impersonation during the chorus)
I'd have to agree with Patronus in saying "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" Especially when it goes from Angel's Eulogy (the spoken monologues) to that song. I'm already bawling from Collins' line "It's over" at the end of "Contact" but then that song, coupled with the speeches beforehand, just makes me cry harder, if that's possible :)

"Rose's Turn," Bernadette Peters gave the most haunting performance I've ever seen on stage with this number, I have never been so affected by a number before or after that.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
a bunch of different moments in RENT when performed correctly.
