What song (or even moment) from a musical ALWAYS makes you look like you’re chopping onions? No matter how many times you see it?

Somewhere from WSS. My sister sang it to my cat Gilbert as he was taken on his final trip to the vet.
That was more than 35 years ago and I am tearing up now.

Most of Act 2 of Merrily We Roll Along has me blubbing.
Not a specific number as such just the way we know that the growing optimism has already been shattered.
I saw the Donmar production and was teary throughout Act 2

I saw the Donmar production and was teary throughout Act 2 Totally agree - no other musical makes me quite so emotional. The finale song, Our Time, where they are full of innocence and aspiration is so moving. |

Sometimes a big broadway finale such as Hello Dolly and Crazy for you or similar scenes in ballet when it's gets so big and grand. I well up by thr splendor of it.

Dear Evan Hansen. Misty-eyed throughout Act 1, slight tears for "You Will Be Found", proper tears from the confession and "Words Fail" all the way through to "So Big So Small". I don't know why but it is the ONLY musical to make me cry.

"What's Next" from Big Fish. That song during the Other Palace production with Kelsey Grammar is up there with the hardest I've ever cried at anything fictional, along with probably 99% of the audience.
"For Now" from Avenue Q. The show has a huge amount of significance to me having appeared in a couple of stagings over four years alongside people I now count as some of my best friends. The final performance was a month before I moved away from London, and I now find it very hard to listen to.

I agree with the poster about Sunday in the Park, but I can't explain the torrent of emotions i experience when the picture is formed. Much of The Hired Man has me in tears, and in the world of ballet, every second of Still Life at the Penguin cafe.

The final performance was a month before I moved away from London, and I now find it very hard to listen to. I was in an amateur version of this a while back and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Weird, too, because it's the only amateur show I've done where people came to the stage door who actually didn't know us. Like, actual members of the public. They wanted to know the 'next stop on the tour'. Obviously, there wasn't one. But hey, we were damn good, and so were our puppets and set. Standing in the wings on our last night while Princeton sang his last line and closed the door, trying not to blubber, comes back to me every single time I hear it. Wreck, every time. I don't tend to cry at the sad parts in shows, but the massive musical numbers set me off. That bloody staircase in 42nd Street, guaranteed. |

I start before it even happens knowing what I'm about to see. |

Nocturnes in Love story always gets me misty eyed, knowing she’s not going to raise her children.

If I Can´t Love Her from Beauty and the Beast (almost) always gets me. The musical bridge is just divine.

All of Miss Saigon. Another one that gets more emotional the more times I see it and know what's about to happen. By the end of This is the Hour I'm a sobbing mess and in dire need of the interval (which isn't for another 10 minutes or so, for those that don't know the show). And then just when I've managed to compose myself, the opening to the second half gets me, and it's all downhill from there.
