    Almost every song in Les Misérables is a tearjerker, but "Do You Hear The People Sing?" is definitely the hardest to get through without crying.
  • The I’ll Cover You reprise from Rent still makes me cry. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
  • @kisskiss6866
    It's Stay Alive (Reprise)/Quiet Uptown for me, from Hamilton. I don't cry easily but this one gets me every single time
  • @christiancruz967
    That last gasp by Phillipa Soo never fails to make me cry, okay? 😢
  • @jwindsor6274
    I sobbed the first time I saw She Used to Be Mine performed
  • @aidansheehan7777
    I remember when I saw Hamilton live, “It’s Quiet Uptown” and “Burn” absolutely tore me to shreds. Seriously moving performances.
  • @SConArt87
    The Phantom singing “Christine, I love you.” at the end of the show will always get me. The PAIN in those notes!
  • @NatrixHasYou
    Cynthia Erivo's version of "I'm Here" from the Tony Awards never fails to give me chills. Just incredible.
  • @marins.8702
    “I’ll cover you (reprise)” never fails to make me cry. Another song that deserves to be added: “All You Wanna Do” from Six the musical (performed by Samantha Pauly). Absolutely devastating. Also, “Burn” from Hamilton. Gets me every time.
  • @KyleHamel
    "When I Grow Up" makes me tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME, and I'm an 18 year old male. 😢😂 "She Used to Be Mine" also thoroughly destroys me.
  • @HoloManHands
    Wait... NOTHING from MISS SAIGON? I Still Believe; I'd Give My Life for You; Bui Doi; The Fall of Saigon; Now That I've Seen Her/Her Or Me... So many BEAUTIFUL and emotional songs!
  • @lolacorinne5384
    Thank you, thank you, thank you for not forgetting “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Does it to me every time.
  • @just_al0128
    Even if it isn’t broadway, Come What May (Reprise) from Moulin Rouge gets me crying everytime. It is beautiful and no other musical movie scene will top it.
  • “You will not touch him/ I’d give my life for you” from the Tony Awards. No tears, just silence. Eva Noblezada’s cry give me chills like I’ve never had before. Amazing vocal talent and acting
  • @barb-jm7990
    I would add to this list "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof. My Dad used to sing that one as we were growing up. He died when he was just 55. (I'm crying now.)
  • @CarolinaMouse
    Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from Phantom of the Opera is another one I would have added to the list cause I admit to crying during that song cause it makes you think of those or some of those you've lost and would love to see again.
  • @MarcioDAstrain
    "Suddenly Seymor" from "The Little Shop of Horrors" always makes me cry. Ellen Greene was born for that role. Without a doubt one of my fav broadway songs of all time! 💙
  • I balled my eyes out at least 3 times when I saw Come From Away. That musical was written so beautifully.
  • Rent and Falsettos have literally changed me so drastically as a person they are heart wrenching and unforgettable. My life will never ever be the same.
