MsMojo I sobbed like a BABY at the end of Come From Away when Hannah called Beula after finding out her son was dead and then started singing “I Am Here” I cried SO MUCH
I can't speak on behalf of everyone but I cry at that mostly because I think it's sweet that, having married an orphan and probably having heard from him how tough it was to survive on his own, she then created an orphanage after his death, almost as if she's honoring him while also providing the opportunity for orphaned kids to have a safe place to stay and someone to rely on and have a slightly better start to life than Hamilton did. Plus, not to mention, Eliza went through the pain of losing her son, so the fact that she decides to take even more kids under her wing is super sweet.
First time I heard Used To Be Mine on Spotify I had to pull over. I was crying so hard because I too suffered from an abusive relationship and was still trying to figure “who” I was after leaving that relationship. Hands down that song has been the most profound song in my whole life.
A few summers ago I heard this song for the very first time I can't remember what I was doing at the moment but I completely collapsed in tears, downloaded the song and the sheet music, learned to play it, I'm obsessed.
Me: Ok this is the 50th time I'm listening to Hamilton I'm not gonna cry this time- Hamilton: The Orphange Me (tearing up): Ok come on you can pull through without crying- Hamilton: in there eyes I see you Alexander, I see you every time Me: *bauling my eyes out while scream crying*
She literally said at the beginning, it's not just sad songs, but meaningful songs, too. Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story is tear-enducing not because it's sad, but because it's meaningful, powerful, and reflective!
"I'm Here" from The Color Purple is heartbreaking! A woman, who is abused and neglected all her life, finally realizes her beauty. Cynthia Orivo kills this song!!
Agreed! It's so haunting and also relatable. It's basically the Ode to Survivors's Guilt and is usually so powerful with it's stark presentation on stage. The shades of his deceased companions in the background turn already sad song into something harrowing and yeah, it kills me every time. (As does the finale, so, I don't fault MsMojo for her choice.)
Basically the whole of Hamilton makes me cry. There are certain phrases in most of the songs that set me off. In It's Quiet Up Town it's when Alexander says "and I pray...that never used to happen before".
“If I could spare his life If I could trade his life for mine He'd be standing here right now And you would smile, and that would be enough.” Having a family makes this so much more potent. I would gladly die to protect my son. Can’t keep it together when this part plays.
Omg!!! Yes girl!!!!!!! And when he says, “ Philip, you would like it uptown. It’s quiet uptown.” My mom always asks why I’m crying and I’m like because Philip died and he was only 19 trying to defend his fathers honor!!!!
Evan though Dear Evan Hansen is on this list, I feel like "So Big / So Small" needs to be mentioned. "Is there another truck coming in the driveway? a truck that will take mommy away" is the line that broke me. T_T
I saw a production of it in Minneapolis a year ago and that bit had my mom weeping. I should also note that while I was holding her hand and consoling her, I dropped my program and audibly went "Aw, beans" during an extremely emotional part of the show.
"In the Bedroom Down the Hall" from Dear Evan Hanson was eliminated from the show...but if you've lost a child to addiction or suicide...it breaks your heart. I actually think it was blessing that it was cut...it's almost too much. I lost a brother in November to alcoholism, and even as a sister, I relate. I agree, though with your pick, too. I cry just listening to that bit.
@@nonignorantsatis True, but that is not the case for Dear Evan Hanson. Connor and Evan had different types of depression, but both had suicidal thoughts. Only one was successful in his suicide attempt.
The firsts acts are almost always lighthearted and sweet and trick you into thinking the second act will be just as lighthearted but then the angst just hits you like a brick in the first song of act 2 and keep it up for the rest of the musical
@@sr98851Even better if the start of act two is all perfect and they have a moment which could’ve been a perfect ending where everyone remains happy, then right after everything just goes downhill (no this is not aimed at falsettos no way, but that musical should’ve ended after a day in falsettoland so I could live thinking everything was alright)
I absolutely love Les Misérables. My late mother watched the movie and I absolutely loved it. I didn’t understand at first but after she passed, I watched it way later and I fucking bawled at the end and I cried when Fantine got arrested and spat on Jean Valjean. I also love Falsettos and it was my own discovery because I was obsessed with Andrew Rannells.
beth fieldew to me, it seems that Les Misérables is just so underrated these days. Everyone likes Ham., Heathers, and DEH and those are the only musical they like but Les Misérables is one of my favorites
Bro when Phillip died during the "stay alive reprise" and "it's quiet uptown" I cried my eyes out and just when I thought that the sad part is over, NOPE Alexander died and I completely lost it, I sware I never cried so much over a show in my life I was shaking it was so freaking sad, then my parents heared me crying and I'm sure they had thoughts of giving me up for adoption when I said that I'm crying over the death of Alexander Hamilton, even I myself was asking myself "wtf why are you crying so hard over a founding father!?" Haha
In defense of the Wicked Witch in the original movie, a house falls on her sister, killing her. She wants her sisters magical shoes, a family heirloom. Then, the girl, whose very house killed her sister, gets to walk off with the shoes that should rightfully be hers... Tbh I'd be pissed too
Really though Wicked DOES excuse what she does because she didn't actually do anything wrong? Created the Tin Man? Did it to save him after her sister removed his heart. Same with the Scarecrow she did it to save him. Really the only bad thing she does in the whole story is lock Dorthy up while trying to get back Nessa's shoes.
I did wonder. When I both read the books and see the show together.. I kinda questioned whether Elpheba was actually the "good" one and Glinda just got taken up in all the publicity since Elphaba was still trying to stay true and stand up for rights of others. Glinda seemed happier in the spotlight, even if she used it to let her friend go, she still remained in charge? Few years since I have seen/read so please correct if wrong. :)
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables just makes me ugly cry. As does Satisfied from Hamilton because Angelica loves Eliza so much and I love that. Also The Movie In My Mind from Miss Saigon. And Alabanza from In The Heights. Tbh there’s probably one song in every musical that makes me cry. EDIT: I feel betrayed that Atención/Alabanza is only an honourable mention. It broke me when I saw it performed live.
Fun fact: "the world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me" was an actual quote that Aaron Burr would say whenever someone would ask him about killing Hamilton
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Phantom of the Opera Someday - Hunchback of Notre Dame Without You - Rent When You Believe - Prince of Egypt and It's Quiet Uptown - Hamilton
They honestly could have gone with a ton of Les Mis' songs. For me, it's actually "Valjean's Death" that always gets me. I love the line, "To Love another person is to see the face of God." You really feel the weight of his years, and that last line just hits home that despite everything, Valjean lived a blessed life, one full of purpose and meaning.
I was kind of mad they left that line off of the clip on this list. I know it's technically part of a different song, but it's the most powerful line in the whole musical and it was RIGHT there.
That lyric had a profound affect on me. Years later, as I sat by my sister's bedside while she was dying from cancer, I recalled that lyric while taking what I knew were my last looks at her sweet face. "To love another person is to see the face of God." For me, there is nothing but truth in that lyric.
I love Sara's version. It's so real. And that song basically describes the life of my best friend. I remember her being pregnant and scared and, thankfully, everything worked out. But I send her this song all the time. "Have you heard this?!?!" She's always like, "Yes, every time you send it to me." LOL
One song per musical and "Do you hear the people sing?" Beat out "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" "On My Own" or "A Little Fall of Rain" for Les Miserables?
Michael in the bathroom is widely consider to be one of if not the best song in BMC and it’s sad because it show a panic attack and a kid getting abandon and having suicidal thoughts. George Salazar beautiful portrayal through his gesture is great and is up there on the musicals great songs list
I saw Falsettos on my 18th birthday, which was also closing night of the musical. And when I tell you the sniffles of the audience (including mine), were part of the moment. It defintely deserved better than 8th
I think It's Quiet Uptown is the saddest Hamilton song by far and I genuinely can't listen to the end of Les Mis without crying. I know it's West End but Heart Of Stone from Six makes me weep every time.
If you don't cry during I'll Cover You (Reprise), I don't know what's wrong with you. (Two other songs that make me ugly cry is After All Of This and Everything from Freaky Friday and When Your Feet Don't Touch The Ground from Finding Neverland)
Me and the Sky ALWAYS gets me! She spends the whole song describing her love of airplanes and flight, then just crushes you with that ending. Pure devastation to my emotions.
Sophie Brown true. It is super sad too. But personally I feel like on my own is super sad because that’s where u find out what she sees as her purpose. A little fall of ran is when u see her “fulfill her purpose”. But I totally agree. It’s super sad. She’s my favorite character
So Big/So Small had a hopeful tone, even as the mother regrettwd all her decisions, she promises to be there from then on Words Fail is Evan trying to say that, no matter what happens next, he will never be able to make things better, and he will never be able to explain why he did what he did It seemed to me that Evan was more broken than anyone else in the musical, possibly even Connor
@@lancepineda293 Of course! I cried at So Big/Small, the first time I heard it. Words Fail is awesome! Probably the climax of the musical (or close to it.)
bruh i started crying when i was watching and my mum who didn’t listen because she was literally deaf and couldn’t process anything was like ARE YOU OKAY
Absolutely! And Satisfied. I actually don't care for the slow songs in Hamilton as much (ie: Quiet Uptown). I'm totally with Jefferson and Madison at the start of Election of 1800 when they say "Can we get back to politics?" "Please??" "Yo." :-D
I think Dear Theadosia reprise is sad. Stay Alive reprise hurts so bad. It’s Quiet Uptown was too much. Who Lives Who Dies is the saddest in my opinion tho. It legit made me bawl
Songs you missed Left behind - Spring Awakening It’s quiet uptown - Hamilton Stay alive reprise - Hamilton Burn - Hamilton Also Michael in the bathroom should be much higher.
NormalIs AIllusion michael in the bathroom shouldn’t have even made the list in my opinion. it’s just not that sad. compared to these songs, and even some songs that weren’t even included.
A Girl and Two Cats that will always make me bawl. It was a very special song in my high school choir. My choir teacher made me discover broadway and literally changed my world so she means a great deal to me. So before graduating I made her a painting with that quote on it and used my own handprint on it and then it was the last song I ever sang with my choir so I can’t listen to it without ugly crying, I love the song so much
for me it's "who can say if I've been changed for the better - " " - i do believe i have been changed for the better" not entirely sure why but i always feel like I've been punched in the stomach when i hear that part
I start bawling at, "Just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you blame me for..." Whenever I feel I've hurt a friend, I have the urge to fix it.
Me: I'll Cover You Reprise better be in this list..... *List only has one spot left and it wasn't in honorable mentions* Me: I swear to whatever god you believe in!....... *Jesse L Martin doesn't even get the word live out before I start crying* Me: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 yup.... there it is 😭😭😭😭😭😭
OMG! I fortunate enough to see Rent during it's opening week. I'd just left my little "comfortable & safe bubble" in Georgia & moved to NYC to attend theatre school the week before. To say I was struggling would be putting it lightly... lol. But that show renewed my everything. I bawled through the entire performance, I think. But, that reprise, killed me & still does.
Santa Fe - Newsies Bring Him Home - Les Miserables All of Hamilton Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Phantom of the Opera Fight the Dragons - Big Fish
I think “ I’ll Cover You (Reprise)” deserved the number one spot. I mean, Angel just had one of sweetest souls out of all musical theater characters, and when her death came, it was all tears for everyone watching. Plus the song itself is extraordinary.
Do you know Goodbye love (the extended version)? It kills me every time I listen to it and makes me angry the song isn't in the movie... It is such an important and beautiful scene...
"One Last Time" from Hamilton. I ball every time I hear it, especially if I watch the video of the cast singing it at the White House in front of President Obama, then I ugly cry.
@@abbigailc.b2239 Several songs from Elegies would make the list, 14 Dwight Ave Natick Massachusetts and When the Earth Stopped Turning tear me up to hear
One thing that gets me with watch jojo. They often ignore older shows. One song that should have had at least an honorable mention is "You'll Never Walk Alone" from "Carousel". How can one not cry as Julie is weeping in grief while Nettie sings to here. It still makes me cry.
The holy trinity of crying in Hamilton: 1. Stay alive (reprise) 2. It’s quiet uptown 3. Who lives, who dies, who tells your story These songs are the death of me
I still can’t listen to #2 without feeling so emotional, it’s just such a universal song that anyone can get behind. & #1 is truly so heartbreaking any version I listen to. This list is truly why I love broadway, musical theatre & music so much 💙🥺😭🥰
The entire second act of "Falsettos" kills me. "Letter From the Refuge" from Newsies. "If I Didn't Believe in You" from The Last Five Years I'm sorry, "It's Quiet Uptown" is the song that destroys me from Hamilton.
Rent`s my favourite and when it hadn't come up in the honourable mentions I was kinda of annoyed as even though I knew it would more than likely be No.1, I knew Phantom wasn't there. For me, it might have came 1st or at the very least 2nd. What an amazing musical
Hiding in your hands - DEH Dissapear - DEH Words fail - DEH Good for you - DEH In the bedroom down the hall - DEH So big/ so small - DEH You will be found - DEH Sante Fe - Newsies Michael in the bathroom - BMC Loser geek or whatever - BMC Its quiet uptown - Hamilton Burn - Hamilton What's wrong with me - Mean girls I am damaged reprise - Heathers She used to be mine - Waitress You matter to me - Waitress Dead mom - Beatlejuice Home - Beetlejuice
@@malinpeh You should listen to Death Note NY DEMO Concept Album. Jeremy Jordan is the main character there (a killer to be exact). If you know the story (cause its from an anime). The song "The Way It Ends Now" will make you cry 😭💔🎶
Your Daddy's Son - Ragtime Memory - CATS The Flesh Failures/Let the Sunshine In - Hair Maybe This Time - Cabaret I'd Give My Life For You - Miss Saigon Judas's Death - Jesus Christ Super Star Fantine's Death - Les Miz Still Hurting - The Last Five Years See I'm Smiling - The Last Five Years As Long As He Needs Me - Oliver!
“It’s hard to be the outcast in school...” it’s also hard to be the outcast in the musical world since it always seems that no one likes Be More Chill (Btw this isn’t my opinion on it cuz honestly I haven’t seen a bootleg or listened to the songs but rather just a joke based on what I’ve seen on tiktok)
Back in High School, we sang a medley from it and shortly after I saw Miss Saigon on the stage. Thing is, I KNEW what would happen to her in the end, but the moment she does what she does make me cry so bad!
Somewhere that's green reprise- Little Shop of Horrors Memories- Cats Santa Fe- Newsies A Little Fall of Rain- Les Mis Lily's Eyes- Secret Garden Not While I'm around- Sweeney Todd
I wasn't super moved by the song during the show (probably because Stay Alive (Reprise) is absolutely the most tragic thing ever) but Kelly Clarkson's cover of it on the Mixtape makes me cry every time.
I just noticed that Angel's funeral is so damn EMPTY. WOW. That's so messed up. A few other super sob-worthy moments for me include: Wishing You Were Somewhere Here Again (Phantom of the Opera) - Christine is so lost and alone, completely unsure of her faith or what's real, so she goes to the one person who ever understood, who happens to be her DEAD FATHER Doubt Comes In (Hadestown) - If Orpheus coulda just waited A FEW MORE FEET then he and Euridyce coulda been happy and together but NOOOOO Pierre and Natasha (Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812) - Holy HELL. This is more bittersweet, but the fact that Pierre and Natasha are finally able to meet face to face, Natasha is more broken than she's ever been, and Pierre knows EXACTLY what it's like, so he knows EXACTLY how to comfort her. Who I'd Be (Shrek) - Yes, weird choice, but the chills as soon as Shrek goes "I guess I'd be a hero" and what follows... How it Ends (Big Fish) - I sobbed uncontrollably at the original scene, soooo this is a no brainer Finale (Moulin Rouge) - See above Not Broadway shows but here are some more Pretty much all of Twisted makes me cry like a baby, but especially If I Believed, in which Jafar explains how the reason he doesn't believe in magic is that he's lost everything near and dear to him Speaking of Starkid, Those Voices from A Very Potter Sequel. Already tearing up but then they hit you with that HARMONY Kindergarten Boyfriend from Heathers because DUH but also Shine a Light Reprise as someone who's been in Heather Mac's shoes. There was a song in the Beetlejuice musical that was cut before it went to Broadway called Children We Didn't Have which yeeeaaahh no SHIT that's depressing God Help the Outcasts (Hunchback) - RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE STILL BITTER IT DIDN'T GO TO BROADWAY Heart of Stone (Six) - Jane Seymour comes to terms with the fact that if not for her son, Henry would have done away with her like all the rest, so she keeps up a facade of being stone cold so she won't break
After when Marvin sings the last “my friend” and the music starts saying do do do do do do do do I can’t stop sobbing i don’t know but that tune always makes me ball
what would i do gets me every time! especially because it implies that marvin dies as well :/ not to mention andrew rannells and christian borles chemistry on stage
songs that get me are: Empty Chairs at Empty Tables- Les Mis Ring of Keys-Fun Home Memory- Cats We Do Not Belong Together- Sunday in the Park with George

MsMojo this is from west end but it her my boy everybody talking about Jamie
Ragtime make them listen
MsMojo I sobbed like a BABY at the end of Come From Away when Hannah called Beula after finding out her son was dead and then started singing “I Am Here” I cried SO MUCH
I'll Be Here from Ordinary Days always makes me cry
@@theautisticever Or Me and The Sky is another sad song frm Come From Away
“Oh my God, what’s wrong, are you okay?!”
Me, sobbing: She put herself back in the narrative.
You’re welcome. 😂
UwU
Watch "It's quiet uptown", as in, watch the OBC performance.
She lived another 50 years and it wasn't enough. ;-;
My parents are concerned that I cry over the fact that she lived tp be 80 and put herself back in the narrative
When Eliza says "the orphanage", that breaks my heart.
also, her mentioning angelica's death
I love the last song. It's so pretty
Luis Diego Valdivia Turpo I don’t cry at that.
Why do the fans cry at the orphanage part? It’s confusing.
I can't speak on behalf of everyone but I cry at that mostly because I think it's sweet that, having married an orphan and probably having heard from him how tough it was to survive on his own, she then created an orphanage after his death, almost as if she's honoring him while also providing the opportunity for orphaned kids to have a safe place to stay and someone to rely on and have a slightly better start to life than Hamilton did. Plus, not to mention, Eliza went through the pain of losing her son, so the fact that she decides to take even more kids under her wing is super sweet.
it also breaks my heart when she says “in their eyes i see you alexander”💔

For me it was Everything Changes. I can’t have children and it really knocked me for six.
Love you. ❤ Prayong for you, babe.

Every song in Les Mis. It's literally the miserable musical
I had to read the whole 600 something page book in French class. THAT was the real misery🤣
@@alexsteinbach2482 I read the book too but because I'm addicted to musical. It was very long and I don't know how I did this. XD
Just listening to the sound track in the car makes me ugly cry!
Yes, Master of the House, sobs
A little fall of Rain should have been on the list
"The orphanage..."
Damn you Hamilton, you won't use orphan children to coax me into crying
"In their eyes I see you, Alexander"
DAMNIT!!
Me: Ok this is the 50th time I'm listening to Hamilton I'm not gonna cry this time-
Hamilton: The Orphange
Me (tearing up): Ok come on you can pull through without crying-
Hamilton: in there eyes I see you Alexander, I see you every time
Me: *bauling my eyes out while scream crying*
I just gave up trying to hold back tears when I heard this song get mentioned.
There is no song sadder than It's Quiet Uptown for someone who has lost a child.
Exactly!
i cry everytime! even while listening at work
She literally said at the beginning, it's not just sad songs, but meaningful songs, too. Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story is tear-enducing not because it's sad, but because it's meaningful, powerful, and reflective!
*y e s*
As a childless man who dont really enjoy being around kids I can confirm.
"I'm Here" from The Color Purple is heartbreaking! A woman, who is abused and neglected all her life, finally realizes her beauty. Cynthia Orivo kills this song!!
Cynthia is a Goddess.
Yeah I’ll never understand how that was just an honorable mention
@@Adri_Unsung EXACTLY!
Cynthia is an angel
Empty Chairs At Empty Tables absolutely DESTROYS me
sadlystuckinreality SAME
I can make it through basically through the entire musical until Empty Chairs. It's instant.
YES.
Agreed! It's so haunting and also relatable. It's basically the Ode to Survivors's Guilt and is usually so powerful with it's stark presentation on stage. The shades of his deceased companions in the background turn already sad song into something harrowing and yeah, it kills me every time. (As does the finale, so, I don't fault MsMojo for her choice.)
The whole fucking musical destroys me
"We can only put one per musical..." *finds way to smuggle in a second one from Hamilton*
😂
finds a way to smuggle all the sad songs from Hamilton
ngl I think falsettos is wayyy sadder than Hamilton
They did that a couple of times, and the smuggled in second song was usually the one I considered sadder than the one they chosen
Omg I love ur profile picture!!! That movie makes cry so much
Basically the whole of Hamilton makes me cry. There are certain phrases in most of the songs that set me off. In It's Quiet Up Town it's when Alexander says "and I pray...that never used to happen before".
Mine is "Forgiveness... can you imagine?" Cue the ugly noisy crying.
“If I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine
He'd be standing here right now
And you would smile, and that would be enough.”
Having a family makes this so much more potent. I would gladly die to protect my son. Can’t keep it together when this part plays.
are you sure you didn't pray before alex? (and that's when I begin to pray.. lord show me how to say no to this...)
This isn’t just a story though. It’s American history
Omg!!! Yes girl!!!!!!! And when he says, “ Philip, you would like it uptown. It’s quiet uptown.” My mom always asks why I’m crying and I’m like because Philip died and he was only 19 trying to defend his fathers honor!!!!
Words Fail makes me ugly cry every time I hear it. Ben Platt is an amazing singer!
bitch lasagna I just saw DEH and I saw Stephen Christopher Anthony as Evan and I ugly cried SOOOOOOOO hard during Words Fail.
The whole thing has me in tears but when he breaks back into Waving Through a Window near the end of the song I completely lose my shit.
"So Big/So Small" kills me.
@@corvus1374 oh yeah. I literally cried to that song just a few minutes ago haha
Listen to his new song he released as a solo artist! Grow as we go!
Evan though Dear Evan Hansen is on this list, I feel like "So Big / So Small" needs to be mentioned. "Is there another truck coming in the driveway? a truck that will take mommy away" is the line that broke me. T_T
I saw a production of it in Minneapolis a year ago and that bit had my mom weeping.

"It's Quiet Uptown" from Hamilton RUINS me.
"Forgiveness....Can you imagine?"
Rachel M. I can’t even listen to it anymore, After my Mom died I stopped listening to the last 6 or 7 songs on the soundtrack. It’s just to HARD.
the first time I listened to it I GENUINELY straight up bawled.
One of the saddest parts of that songs is "It feels easier to just swim down". I cry every time
Awkward ASL Yes, because it is so true. It’s not that you WANT to die, you just don’t know HOW to be anymore without that person.
You're in good company. A hardened theater snob I know saw it and when I asked if he cried during that song, he said, "I was weeping. WEEPING."
Honestly, act two of any musical ever is sure to make me cry.
The firsts acts are almost always lighthearted and sweet and trick you into thinking the second act will be just as lighthearted but then the angst just hits you like a brick in the first song of act 2 and keep it up for the rest of the musical
@@sr98851Even better if the start of act two is all perfect and they have a moment which could’ve been a perfect ending where everyone remains happy, then right after everything just goes downhill (no this is not aimed at falsettos no way, but that musical should’ve ended after a day in falsettoland so I could live thinking everything was alright)
a little fall of rain - les miserables
who lives who dies who tells your story - hamilton
what would i do? - falsettos
epilogue - les miserables
A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BROADWAY SONGS OUT THERE AND I WILL STAND BY THAT FOREVER
I absolutely love Les Misérables. My late mother watched the movie and I absolutely loved it. I didn’t understand at first but after she passed, I watched it way later and I fucking bawled at the end and I cried when Fantine got arrested and spat on Jean Valjean. I also love Falsettos and it was my own discovery because I was obsessed with Andrew Rannells.

HOW WAS THERE NOW MOULIN ROUGE. I CRY EVERY TIME
I watched Hamilton on stage, and I was holding in tears when Eliza screamed right after stay alive reprise
654321 Platypus I didn’t even know that happened (because I’m a broke) until I found a bootleg. I SOBBED. I was wrecked.
That agonizing scream was probably more heart wrenching than the actual song. It really broke me to see Eliza sad.
Mychael Torres WHERE DID YOU FIND THE BOOTLEG
Bro when Phillip died during the "stay alive reprise" and "it's quiet uptown" I cried my eyes out and just when I thought that the sad part is over, NOPE Alexander died and I completely lost it, I sware I never cried so much over a show in my life I was shaking it was so freaking sad, then my parents heared me crying and I'm sure they had thoughts of giving me up for adoption when I said that I'm crying over the death of Alexander Hamilton, even I myself was asking myself "wtf why are you crying so hard over a founding father!?" Haha
I sob every single time it’s quiet uptown plays on my playlist.. and when I found the musical I sobbed when Hamilton grabs Elizas hand
Val Jean’s death in Les Mis wrecks me every time. The line “to love another person is to see the face of God” just gives me chills.
As soon as he begins "on this page ....I write....my last confession.........." Bawl, weep, gag. Every. Time through to the end.
Yes, when I went through my Les Mis phase, I would have to play that part of the song five or six times before moving on.
And by the time they get to the "Do you hear the people sing, lost in the valley of the night" I'm already bawling
In defense of the Wicked Witch in the original movie, a house falls on her sister, killing her. She wants her sisters magical shoes, a family heirloom. Then, the girl, whose very house killed her sister, gets to walk off with the shoes that should rightfully be hers... Tbh I'd be pissed too
In the books they explain all of this more in depth and is amazing
I've always said that the Wicked witch was totally right in hating Dorothy. The little thief!
Really though Wicked DOES excuse what she does because she didn't actually do anything wrong? Created the Tin Man? Did it to save him after her sister removed his heart. Same with the Scarecrow she did it to save him. Really the only bad thing she does in the whole story is lock Dorthy up while trying to get back Nessa's shoes.
Well, when you put it that way...I'd be pissed too. I hadn't thought of it like that before.
I did wonder. When I both read the books and see the show together.. I kinda questioned whether Elpheba was actually the "good" one and Glinda just got taken up in all the publicity since Elphaba was still trying to stay true and stand up for rights of others. Glinda seemed happier in the spotlight, even if she used it to let her friend go, she still remained in charge? Few years since I have seen/read so please correct if wrong. :)
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables just makes me ugly cry.
As does Satisfied from Hamilton because Angelica loves Eliza so much and I love that. Also The Movie In My Mind from Miss Saigon. And Alabanza from In The Heights.
Tbh there’s probably one song in every musical that makes me cry.
EDIT: I feel betrayed that Atención/Alabanza is only an honourable mention. It broke me when I saw it performed live.
Alabanza makes me full-on SOB. And I'm not a cryer. I'm so jealous you got to see it live! I'm so excited for the movie!!!
So am I.
She used to be mine made me cry once
Jessica Marshall the one that always gets me from Hamilton is “Burn” 😭
The World Was Wide Enough (from Hamilton) gets me every time.
"He aims his pistol at the sky, WAIT-"
It just... breaks my heart.
When he says: Now i'm the villain in your history... with such sadness... oh!!
Fun fact: "the world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me" was an actual quote that Aaron Burr would say whenever someone would ask him about killing Hamilton
Stay alive (reprise) from Hamilton had me *BAWLING.*
sept, huit, neuf...
same i sobbed when i saw it
That's the song I thought they'd pick from that musical.
@@Kristine_202 I thought so too!! When Hamilton came up I thought they'd definitely do the Stay Alive reprise
AJ Moore Tap how could you...
Loved Jesse L Martin’s performance of I’ll Cover You
Way to go Joe West!
YES
YASS
I
yes I click because I saw him. I love the Flash!
A musical is never complete without that one ‘crazy powerful heart wrenching song that makes you go through a whole box of tissues.’
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Phantom of the Opera
Someday - Hunchback of Notre Dame
Without You - Rent
When You Believe - Prince of Egypt
and
It's Quiet Uptown - Hamilton
Also from Phantom of the Opera. The songs "All I Ask of You" and "No One Would Listen" kinda' made me cry... both songs made my heart break for Eric.
Will I Loose My Dignity...Will Someone Care...
They are going through the unimaginable
So agree. They are missing
Who Will Love Me As I Am? - "Side Show"
They honestly could have gone with a ton of Les Mis' songs. For me, it's actually "Valjean's Death" that always gets me. I love the line, "To Love another person is to see the face of God." You really feel the weight of his years, and that last line just hits home that despite everything, Valjean lived a blessed life, one full of purpose and meaning.
I was kind of mad they left that line off of the clip on this list. I know it's technically part of a different song, but it's the most powerful line in the whole musical and it was RIGHT there.
Fantine's Death always made me cry as well.
@@Lzaz87 For me it's when Gavroche dies and Eponine too.
That lyric had a profound affect on me. Years later, as I sat by my sister's bedside while she was dying from cancer, I recalled that lyric while taking what I knew were my last looks at her sweet face. "To love another person is to see the face of God." For me, there is nothing but truth in that lyric.
Empty chairs at empty tables kills me literally every time
My name is Phillip.
I am in heaven,
'Cos Gorge Eaker
Can only count to seven...
That's kind of funny and sad at the same time
Sadly humorous
Idk if cry or laugh
Oh gosh that broke me
Ouch! 🥺
She used to be mine breaks my heart every time 😭😭
Me too
SAAAAAME. First time I saw Waitress I was UGLY CRYING IN PUBLIC which I don't ever do.
I love Sara's version. It's so real. And that song basically describes the life of my best friend. I remember her being pregnant and scared and, thankfully, everything worked out. But I send her this song all the time. "Have you heard this?!?!" She's always like, "Yes, every time you send it to me." LOL
Right!? That song is possibly the most heartbreaking piece of art to ever be created.
Ugh, ugly cry everytime. I love listening to Sara Bareilles sing it.
OMG... Hamilton’s two songs: ‘Quiet Uptown’ and ‘Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story’ has me CRYING every time I hear them!
Bellz89 Same
also the world was wide enough
Les Miz had so many. “Bring Him Home” and “I Dreamed a Dream” just gut me each time.
First time I saw Les Mis, I was by myself, ugly crying surrounded by people I didn’t know. I was given tissues from all directions.
Empty Chair at Empty Tables, Little Fall of Rain, Val Jean's death
I think A Little Fall of Rain is the saddest from Les Mis
A little fall of rain 😭
Watch mojo: "I'll cover you rep-"
Me: Aaaaaaaagggggggh😭
Same! I literally stood up and walked away. Nope! I just can't.
“When your heart has expired.” Ugly sobbing every time!
I don't even need to hear it to fuckin sob.
AstroBard
Same. I just have to think about Angel's death and I start bawling 😭
One song per musical and "Do you hear the people sing?" Beat out "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" "On My Own" or "A Little Fall of Rain" for Les Miserables?
i know! i always thought that do you hear the people sing reprise was a happy song because it’s hopeful and they’re all dead yes but they’re in heaven
Kacey Kace seriously... I would have chosen “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables”
It is just shocking!
Yeah I know right! I totally wouldve chosen empty chairs at empty tables of a little fall of rain
On My Own is extremely overrated, but totally agree on ECaET
1. why is michael in the bathroom so low
2. as people have pointed out EVSN HAS A N X I E T Y K A R E N
umbreNO because Michael in the bathroom. Yes, a sad message behind it. But... it’s not a very good song
T Dog um. Excuse me.
Mychael Torres it’s just not that good a song...
Why is Micheal in the bathroom on the list, it’s not even sad
Michael in the bathroom is widely consider to be one of if not the best song in BMC and it’s sad because it show a panic attack and a kid getting abandon and having suicidal thoughts. George Salazar beautiful portrayal through his gesture is great and is up there on the musicals great songs list
"For Good" -- the greatest female duet in Broadway history.
A Boy Like That from West Side Story?
markmh835 my high school sings it every year as a goodbye to the seniors so I mean yeah sad
markmh835 YESSS!!💗
Soooo true!!!!!!!
Absouletly
Solid list, but Empty Chairs At Empty Tables is WAY sadder than the finale
JS B agreed
JS B I think it’s sadder, but I definitely cry more during the finale tbh. It’s happy/sad tears lol
I think that there are so many sad songs in Les Mis, but I always cry the hardest in the finale
Agreed!!!
so is Little Fall of Rain
Basically most of Rent made me cry, same with Les Mis and Hamilton. “I Know Where I’ve Been” from Hairspray made me tear up
Les Mis could literaully be renamed to "Sadness the musical."
@@thealrightylil2769 Everybody raise a glass to the Master of the House!
“Men get better with age. We’re just gonna skip that stage.”
Thanks I didn’t need my soul anyways.
This shredded my heart, good God.
I CANT BELIEVE IT ONLY GOT 8TH!!!!!!!!!!
I saw Falsettos on my 18th birthday, which was also closing night of the musical. And when I tell you the sniffles of the audience (including mine), were part of the moment. It defintely deserved better than 8th
I literally watched Falsettos for the first time today and...
I sobbed for longer than socially acceptable
I think It's Quiet Uptown is the saddest Hamilton song by far and I genuinely can't listen to the end of Les Mis without crying. I know it's West End but Heart Of Stone from Six makes me weep every time.
Yeah I bet the only reason heart of stone wasn't on there was cuz it hasn't had a run on broadway
same with les mis
Someone: "You okay there?"
Me: *sobbing* "It's quiet uptown"
If you don't cry during I'll Cover You (Reprise), I don't know what's wrong with you.
(Two other songs that make me ugly cry is After All Of This and Everything from Freaky Friday and When Your Feet Don't Touch The Ground from Finding Neverland)
absolutely love "when your feet don't touch the ground"! such an emotional song...
I cry every time I hear I’ll cover you (reprise) I’m fact the first time I saw the movie I started silently crying until 1:00 in the morning
Just the way he sings "When your heart has expired" breaks me every time.
People express their emotions differently
I'll cover you reprise always gets me and when I first saw the Addams family musical happy/sad made me cry too
The entire musical of "Come From Away" makes me cry from beginning to end for so many reasons. But "I Am Here" and "Prayer" deserve a mention.
I’ve decided I can’t see Come From away yet. I’m not emotionally prepared to cry that hard in public.
@@lyndaryba5538 You could prep by listening to the soundtrack in the privacy of your own home. :)
Felis Dee I’m attempting that, but it doesn’t seem to be helping much. Lol.
I saw it live and I cried at LEAST 16 different times, it's a public safety hazarddd (but it is,,, phenomenol)
Me and the Sky ALWAYS gets me! She spends the whole song describing her love of airplanes and flight, then just crushes you with that ending. Pure devastation to my emotions.
I can’t be the only person who sobs while listening to Miss Saigon
bui doi gets me every time
Please don’t... I cry every time
YES! Every time I listen to it! I've seen it on stage several times and I cry each time!
I was very surprised that it didn’t even get an honorable mention
I can’t listen to it because it makes me cry too much
ON MY OWNNNNNNN!!!!! Not even an honorable mention???? Yknow... Ebonine’s song from Les Misérables. The one that steals the whole showwwwwwwww
Isabella Calderin what about a little fall ofrain? Satyr in my opinion.
Sophie Brown true. It is super sad too. But personally I feel like on my own is super sad because that’s where u find out what she sees as her purpose. A little fall of ran is when u see her “fulfill her purpose”. But I totally agree. It’s super sad. She’s my favorite character
Ebonine lol
Lol sorry. Meant Eponine
I'd assume one song per show includes the honorable mentions
SO BIG/SO SMALL FROM DEAR EVAN HANSEN! HOW COULD YOU GUYS FORGET THAT!?
So Big/So Small had a hopeful tone, even as the mother regrettwd all her decisions, she promises to be there from then on
Words Fail is Evan trying to say that, no matter what happens next, he will never be able to make things better, and he will never be able to explain why he did what he did
It seemed to me that Evan was more broken than anyone else in the musical, possibly even Connor
@@lancepineda293 Of course! I cried at So Big/Small, the first time I heard it. Words Fail is awesome! Probably the climax of the musical (or close to it.)
I feel absolutely the same way 😊
It's actually sad because there are too many divorces today and the song kinda wakes us up to realize how heartbreaking they are.
@@sokiewilliams5495 VERY true as well!
Ms. Mojo: which musical song makes you cry
Me: Hamilton
Ms. Mojo: that's a musi-
Me: did I stutter
Dear Evan Hansen in my case 😅

@@jollyholly106 I know right 😭
bruh i started crying when i was watching and my mum who didn’t listen because she was literally deaf and couldn’t process anything was like ARE YOU OKAY
dear Evan Hansen and hamilton always makes me cry
This may not be as popular- but “Wait For It” from Hamilton always gets me.
Absolutely! And Satisfied. I actually don't care for the slow songs in Hamilton as much (ie: Quiet Uptown). I'm totally with Jefferson and Madison at the start of Election of 1800 when they say "Can we get back to politics?" "Please??" "Yo." :-D
Mine is quit uptown...gets me every time
I think Dear Theadosia reprise is sad. Stay Alive reprise hurts so bad. It’s Quiet Uptown was too much. Who Lives Who Dies is the saddest in my opinion tho. It legit made me bawl
They are all great but also Burrs part in the world was wide enough was really sad.
"Now I'm the villain in your history."
That one always gets me!
Songs you missed
Left behind - Spring Awakening
It’s quiet uptown - Hamilton
Stay alive reprise - Hamilton
Burn - Hamilton
Also Michael in the bathroom should be much higher.
NormalIs AIllusion superheroes-rocky horror as well? Or just me
1 song per musical and as much as I love Hamilton I'm getting really sick of all the people saying they should've included more Hamilton songs.
Basically the second half of Hamilton makes me cry.
NormalIs AIllusion michael in the bathroom shouldn’t have even made the list in my opinion. it’s just not that sad. compared to these songs, and even some songs that weren’t even included.
Left behind definitely deserved a place
Falsettos kills me everytime. Though I guess that's fair, it kills Whizzer too.
That was uncalled for! 🤣😭😭
I HATE you
bruh
nOooOo 😭
That's amazing XD
I cannot believe “And I Am Telling You” from Dream Girls didn’t make the list.
But the ORIGINAL... so heart wrenching!
Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking!
LoL I just commented this too! So much emotion and power in that song. It makes me ugly cry.
I agree!
Bruh how is Michael in the bathroom on this list
When Elphaba sings “You’ll be with me like a handprint on my heart” that’s when the tears start rolling 😭
A Girl and Two Cats that will always make me bawl. It was a very special song in my high school choir. My choir teacher made me discover broadway and literally changed my world so she means a great deal to me. So before graduating I made her a painting with that quote on it and used my own handprint on it and then it was the last song I ever sang with my choir so I can’t listen to it without ugly crying, I love the song so much
@@baileyellison642 your beautiful story almost made me cry! :)
for me it's "who can say if I've been changed for the better - " " - i do believe i have been changed for the better"
not entirely sure why but i always feel like I've been punched in the stomach when i hear that part
I start bawling at, "Just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you blame me for..." Whenever I feel I've hurt a friend, I have the urge to fix it.
For me it’s “people come into our lives for a reason”. Then again the entire song gets me.
When the Phantom sings, "Christine, I love you..." my vision gets blurry every time.
AND SHE HUGS HIM AND IT MAY BE THE MOST SINCERE THING HE'S EVER FELT FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE, OH GOD 😭😭😭
Falsettos ending is BRUTAL.
I KNOW I'VE BEEN CRYING FOR 2 YEARS

"She Used To Be Mine" from Waitress makes me crawl under my covers and bawl my eyes out.
When Eliza says I can’t wait to see you again I officially loose it
When she says, "They remind me of you, Alexander."
RENT will forever make me ugly cry. There’s just no stopping the tears.
Me: I'll Cover You Reprise better be in this list.....
*List only has one spot left and it wasn't in honorable mentions*
Me: I swear to whatever god you believe in!.......
*Jesse L Martin doesn't even get the word live out before I start crying*
Me: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 yup.... there it is 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ugh, same.
I’m already crying because Angel died and then his face makes me just lose it even more.
OMG! I fortunate enough to see Rent during it's opening week. I'd just left my little "comfortable & safe bubble" in Georgia & moved to NYC to attend theatre school the week before. To say I was struggling would be putting it lightly... lol. But that show renewed my everything. I bawled through the entire performance, I think. But, that reprise, killed me & still does.
RIGHT?! Ugh........I hate Rent sometimes......mostly this song.
Emma Janet I feel this so much! I was so anxious for #1 then before one note played my gay ass was bawling 😭😭😭

Lillian Lunt i have to disagree for fight the dragons, I don’t need a roof is wayyyyyy better !
Yeah and another song from newsies is letter from the refugee
I don't know about ALL of Hamilton... hearing Lafayette mispronounce "anarchy" is hilarious.
Not all of Hamilton, like My Shot is an upbeat song, it's not sad
Noah Schutzius granted I’ve only seen the movie , and it’s been a while, but that title isn’t ringing any bells for me.
Video: Mentions Les Mis
Me: starts sobbing intensely
Video: mentions Hamilton
Me: starts screaming so loud it shatters glass
Thats meeeeeeeeee
I think “ I’ll Cover You (Reprise)” deserved the number one spot. I mean, Angel just had one of sweetest souls out of all musical theater characters, and when her death came, it was all tears for everyone watching. Plus the song itself is extraordinary.
Do you know Goodbye love (the extended version)? It kills me every time I listen to it and makes me angry the song isn't in the movie... It is such an important and beautiful scene...
@@rosegranger2872 OMG YES!!!
Every single time🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
"One Last Time" from Hamilton. I ball every time I hear it, especially if I watch the video of the cast singing it at the White House in front of President Obama, then I ugly cry.

One thing that gets me with watch jojo. They often ignore older shows. One song that should have had at least an honorable mention is "You'll Never Walk Alone" from "Carousel". How can one not cry as Julie is weeping in grief while Nettie sings to here. It still makes me cry.
I always cry during I'll Cover You 😭
Thank you Jonathan Larson
I NEVER cry during movies or productions, but I don't think I've ever made it through this song once without bawling.
"She used to be mine" should've been top 3 at least.
That's one of the few songs that gets me everytime.

Well I counted three songs from Hamilton. Yes I agree and I m telling you should have been included.
Miss Saigon whole destroys me everytime, not only the ending lol
I Still Believe destroys me everytime
The holy trinity of crying in Hamilton:
1. Stay alive (reprise)
2. It’s quiet uptown
3. Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
These songs are the death of me
Me too, girl.
4. Lauren’s Interlude
5. Dear theodosia (Reprise)
😅
I think The World Was Wide Enough too.
I've never seen Hamilton...what am I missing???
Machelle Bang Bang tears.
I knew a song from RENT would top this list. U could feel the pain in Collins' voice after losing Angel after nearly a year of courtship.
Elphaba never turned out bad in the musical so there is not need to justify her later actions or the way she is
I mean, kidnapping a child isn't exactly GOOD
@@MrsRen She never kidnapped a kid in the musical...
Midnight Sonnet yea she did. there’s a part in the show when you can hear dorothy crying in elphaba’s lair
I still can’t listen to #2 without feeling so emotional, it’s just such a universal song that anyone can get behind. & #1 is truly so heartbreaking any version I listen to. This list is truly why I love broadway, musical theatre & music so much 💙🥺😭🥰
Okay so........ HOW COME “ON MY OWN” OR “A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN” DOESN’T EVEN GET AT LEAST AN HONORABLE MENTION?!
IKR!!!
The entire second act of "Falsettos" kills me.
"Letter From the Refuge" from Newsies.
"If I Didn't Believe in You" from The Last Five Years
I'm sorry, "It's Quiet Uptown" is the song that destroys me from Hamilton.
Nothing from Phantom? The pure heartbreak and loneliness in the Music of the Night reprise destroys me every time I hear it.
Rent`s my favourite and when it hadn't come up in the honourable mentions I was kinda of annoyed as even though I knew it would more than likely be No.1, I knew Phantom wasn't there. For me, it might have came 1st or at the very least 2nd. What an amazing musical
I was just gonna comment something like this
It’s usually the finale that really gets me (Christine, I love you) , or the Phantom’s “All I Ask if You” reprise

They really should have selected "It's Quiet Uptown" instead - I cannot listen to it without sobbing.
I wasn't super moved by the song during the show (probably because Stay Alive (Reprise) is absolutely the most tragic thing ever) but Kelly Clarkson's cover of it on the Mixtape makes me cry every time.
WLWDWTYS hits harder than It's Quiet Uptown, it tells you Eliza's story of how she continued to honor Alexander's legacy
10:57 "It's Quiet Uptown" is way sadder than "Who Lives,Who Dies,Who Tells Your Story"
I agree.
She Used To Be Mine always has a place in my heart.
I know how it feels to be want to be someone you used to be and losing it all quickly.
I just noticed that Angel's funeral is so damn EMPTY. WOW. That's so messed up.
A few other super sob-worthy moments for me include:
Wishing You Were Somewhere Here Again (Phantom of the Opera) - Christine is so lost and alone, completely unsure of her faith or what's real, so she goes to the one person who ever understood, who happens to be her DEAD FATHER
Doubt Comes In (Hadestown) - If Orpheus coulda just waited A FEW MORE FEET then he and Euridyce coulda been happy and together but NOOOOO
Pierre and Natasha (Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812) - Holy HELL. This is more bittersweet, but the fact that Pierre and Natasha are finally able to meet face to face, Natasha is more broken than she's ever been, and Pierre knows EXACTLY what it's like, so he knows EXACTLY how to comfort her.
Who I'd Be (Shrek) - Yes, weird choice, but the chills as soon as Shrek goes "I guess I'd be a hero" and what follows...
How it Ends (Big Fish) - I sobbed uncontrollably at the original scene, soooo this is a no brainer
Finale (Moulin Rouge) - See above
Not Broadway shows but here are some more
Pretty much all of Twisted makes me cry like a baby, but especially If I Believed, in which Jafar explains how the reason he doesn't believe in magic is that he's lost everything near and dear to him
Speaking of Starkid, Those Voices from A Very Potter Sequel. Already tearing up but then they hit you with that HARMONY

Heart of Stone (Six) - Jane Seymour comes to terms with the fact that if not for her son, Henry would have done away with her like all the rest, so she keeps up a facade of being stone cold so she won't break
Megan Hash YES STARKID AND HUNCHBACK

After when Marvin sings the last “my friend” and the music starts saying do do do do do do do do I can’t stop sobbing i don’t know but that tune always makes me ball

not to mention andrew rannells and christian borles chemistry on stage
"Alabanza" from "In The Heights" deserved more than just an honorable mention.
“For Good” makes me cry like every time especially when the OGs sing it: Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth.
“Maybe this time” Cabaret cry every time
Road to Hell (Reprise) from Hadestown makes me FEEL THINGS
Oh gosh WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BRING IT UP😭
all of Hadestown does that to me tbh... I'm still emotionally scarred and I haven't even seen the show live *sobs*
"You Will Be Found" from Dear Evan Hansen makes me cry. No matter how many versions I watch I cry.

songs that get me are:
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables- Les Mis
Ring of Keys-Fun Home
Memory- Cats
We Do Not Belong Together- Sunday in the Park with George
Ring of Keys is the most validating and beautiful and heart wrenching song ever
Every time I see the scene of Angel’s death or funeral, GOD, I start bawling
