"Sniffling. Stop it. I get it, the show is sad. That doesn't mean I have to listen to your teary snot travelling up and down your nasal passage. Get a tissue or let it run free. Quietly. Make sure to wipe your face thoroughly before the lights go on and we'll all be happy"
I hope you are all taking notice of Coated's advice from the "what shouldn't be allowed thread"!

I couldn't stop crying at War Horse either. The combination of awe at the magic of it, and then of course all the sadness/happiness. Didn't help that I was a 'horsey' kid of course.
I also agree about 'My Brother Lived in San Francisco' in 'Elegies' add to that Falsettos-'What more can I day' and 'Unlikely Lovers' finish me off every time.
I've also cried, not when watching but when listening to 'Everything Else' from N2N.

The Les Mis Epilogue always gets me. I'll Cover You (Reprise) from Rent. I had tears of awe during Imelda's Rose's Turn, it was overwhelming! And of course War Horse - full on ugly crying, I was a complete mess and my sister couldn't stop laughing at me! So Anyway through to Light usually bring a lump to my throat when listening to Next To Normal.

The end of Blood Brothers got me (don't know how it can't!) and probably the one and only moment that could set me off is The Letter from Billy Elliot. Every. Single. Time. Even if I'm just listening to it and even more so since the release of the DVD! Sometimes I'll skip it when I'm listening to the cast recording or on shuffle as I'll either not be emotionally prepared or need to avoid crying on a public commute!

Several tears shed during various shows. Easy To Be Hard from Hair; Just One Look from Sunset Boulevard - the Patti LuPone original version; Rose's Turn from Gypsy - both Lansbury and Staunton versions; The Asylum from Woman in White where they discover Laura is still alive and Being Alive from Company - I never saw Dean Jones (Larry Kert instead) but Jones' version is heart rending especially on the video by DA Pennebaker.

Another one: after it popping up on my iPod today, I could very easily cry through the entirety of Parade for (now obvious) religious reasons!

"You must love me" performed by Madalena Alberto as Evita, last year. Wow, talk about throwing everything into it. Simply stunning.

MT moments that have made me cry:
Anything Goes 2005 (NT) - When the funnel revolved to reveal the ship's band and then the whole of that glorious number
Pippin (Broadway) - When the tabs went back behind Patina Miller and the stage was filled with performers spinning, jumping, do circus acts, etc.
The Drowsy Chaperone - At the end when the Man In The Chair sort of says goodbye to the cast
The Scottsboro Boys - The final few scenes, especially the lady sat on the bus.

Oh my goodness, the lady on the bus. I don't remember crying, but I got huge goosebumps at that moment. Brilliant theatrical reveal!

The new intro of "Last night of the world" in Miss Saigon made me tear up. It is just very gentle and compliments the moment perfectly.
