5: 26 her history might not excuse her later actions tbh I think it does, Oz wanted her to be the Wicked Witch and thats exactly what she did, in the song no good deed she's finally reached her breaking point, and can you blame her? She has done nothing but be kind and save animals and all she gets in return is her loved ones being killed and being shunned by everyone, so, when she says the line let all Oz be agreed, I'm wicked though and through, since I cannot succeed, Fyaro saving you, I promise no good deed will I attempt to do again she's basically going full on mother gothel and saying you want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Now I'm the bad guy she simply gave Oz what they wanted. Not to mention, all she wanted from Dorothy where the shoes, litterally if she just handed over the shoes then everything would have been fine, I mean, the girl stole the only thing that remained of Elphabas sister, and Elphaba is the bad guy for wanting it back? Yeah I don't think so

Javert's suicide from Les Mis gets me EVERY TIME. Javert losing his view of the world and all the different reasons he jumped are so tragic. He felt he deserved eternity in Hell for what he'd done, and suicide is a guarantee to Hell; He felt like he was living in Hell anyway now he didn't know what to do anymore, so there'd be no difference; He felt trapped and that the Seine was the only way out; and all his other reasons. I've never cried harder at a musical in my life.

My local high school did Les Mis when I was in 5th grade and I was lucky enough to get to play one of the street kids (extra. I was too young at the time to understand the full extent of the story but every night we performed the show, I remember sitting in the balcony and crying to Empty Chairs at Empty Tables. Every night. Without fail. Absolutely beautiful song that just drips in sadness and sorrow.

It sucks DEH to so long to make and thus was panned for the casting (though you CANT NOT cast Ben Platt. That being said I would love for Waitress to be remade into a musical movie. Youd have to keep Jessie and Keala thats a must. Jeremy Jordan would make a good Dr Pomatter, and personally Id like Billy Ray Cyrus as Cal, idk why but when I hear his parts I hear Billy.

I have had a thirty year debate with a friend over this issue. It started when we were in college. It got more intense when he became a professional actor and I only perform in the occasional community theater show.
I saw a video from one of those musical coaches who explained the technical dangers of getting carried away with these ugly crying songs.

You could just put most of the songs from Falsettos on here. Put the whole musical if you want. Just hearing any lyric from the show makes me want to shake Bill Finn by the shoulders and ask him why he did my emotional support gays dirty.

She Used to Be Mine from Waitress
The lyrics tell the story of how Jenna used to be a different person and how damaged she has been since she met Earl. She's also lamenting that she's pregnant and is just wanting to be happy again.

This whole list gave me chills, not so much tears. I definitely wanna check out a few of these shows mentioned. besides RENT, Les Mis, and Wicked. Love those! Number 1 Beauty and the Beast has 1 or 2, but I can't think of their names.

I work at a theatre. After seeing this show many many times and hearing the quality music and good acting, I never could develop sympathy for the main character in Dear Evan Hansen. I just felt the lies such a betrayal.

Memory from The Cats oh my gosh every time I sang the song or every time I heard it, my heart breaks into pieces. It so easy to leave me all alone with the memory. oh I really really love Lea Salongas version

'On the Willows' from Godspell. And 'Memory' from 'Cats'; I can't help but think of all my past kitties that I no longer have. 'Meditation 2' from Shenandoah, thinking back on those lost in the war.

You'll never walk Alone from Carousel is one. You've Got to be Carefully be Taught from South Pacific is another. Edelweiss isn't necessarily a sad song, but it makes me all teary when I hear it.

Once I was told that good men get better with age. we're just gonna skip that stage. I literally vocally sobbed my face off at that line. Pretty sure half the audience turned to look at me.

The finale in Phantom of the Opera always gets me. When the Phantom lets Raul and Christine go, then disappears and all thats left is his mask. So heartbreaking and chilling.

These songs are sad but to be honest my heart shattered when I listened to Left behind and Those you've known from Spring awakening.
THIS HURTS.

For me, What Would I Do is at number one. Its not just the story/lyrics but also the heartbreak in Christian Borles voice and the exhaustion in his face.

Im surprised that Requiem wasnt on the list. Also, in my opinion, What Would I Do shouldve been way higher, it just makes me break down every time

Thank you for including She used to be mine which I consider the most perfect song. Also, Next To Normal is my fave musical on this century.
