Broadway Songs that RUINED my Life

Today we are: crying! I'm gonna share some of the musical theatre / broadway songs that ruined my life! yay!
🌻🌻 OPEN ME 🌻🌻
HEY THEATRE FRIENDS! Today, I'm sharing some musical theatre songs (okay, so like they're all #Broadway with one off-broadway exception) that absolutely destroy me. Some are sad, some are vulnerable, and some just hit way too close to home. We're talking Hamilton, Aida, Falsettos, If/Then, Next to Normal, In the Heights, Bare, Rent, Les Miserable, and more.
Put on a cozy sweatshirt, post-mates some Olive Garden, and come cry with me about musical theatre

The more popera the better

[@lydiakelli2363]

- anything from Falsettos - anything from spring awakening - for good from wicked - legally blonde from legally blonde - a really lousy day in the universe from a New Brain - In my dreams from Anastasia - she used to be mine from waitress - fly fly away from catch me if you can

[@justarandompjofan6731]

Oh my gosh, yes. Legally blonde is such a sad song. And Falsettos is really sad as well (I mean there are really funny moments like Look, look, it’s the lesbian from next store.)

[@sillygoosetaur]

-anything from hadestown

[@Shae29]

Cue me sobbing the last time I sang for good bc it was my mom’s best friend’s favorite song and he’s no longer with us😭

[@glamourchick21]

My best friend and I consider For Good our theme song.

[@Beansiethebeans]

In my dreams is such a beautiful song. One of my favorites from Anastasia (AKA my favorite)

[@yuki-pj5vv]

“Empty Chairs at Empty Tables” just make me rethink my life and cry.

[@Kath_Steele]

[@404kasha]

Yes! I was listening to it literally on public transportation and started crying, haven't gotten that many weird looks in a while

YEEESSSS

[@aaronzook9540]

Yep. It wrecks me every time. But you know, I maybe cry (always suddenly, spasmodically, though I know it's coming) even harder during "Drink With Me"-- something about Grantaire's unexpected vulnerability...

Let's just say all of deh except for sincerely me and to break in a glove 😂😭

"I Am Damaged" from Heathers BROKE me. Also the line, "I wish we met before they convinced you life is war" from the dead girl walking reprise.

[@sh00txngstqr84]

Let me break you, imagine if Veronica said ‘Our love is gone’ at the end before JD blows up instead of ‘Say hi to god’. :)

[@kaitlynsmith9620]

"Legally Blonde" from Legally Blonde - When Elle sings "some girls are just meant to smile"

[@sassypants7536]

Kaitlyn Smith yes! This line is so sad. Along with "back to the sun, back to the shore, back to what I was before. Back where I'm known, back in my own very small pond." We can see how far Elle's come, how confident she is. it's such a staggering waste of potential, because she is a very good lawyer. Elle also fought so hard to break herself out of the blonde bimbo stereotype.

[@gotosweetstxr]

Kaitlyn Smith omg CHILLS every time that line comes on :,)

“For Good” Wicked “Slipping Through my Fingers” Mamma Mia “She Used To Be Mine” Waitress most of Hamilton Act II "Breathe" and "Everything I know" from In The Heights Basically any song that explores a mother-daughter relationship, family, or friendship

[@j.r.cilliangreen4083]

Remarkably my weep song is The Wizard and I in Wicked...just kills me

[@maryemm1491]

​@@j.r.cilliangreen4083 depending on my mood, The Wizard and I will make me sob, along with both versions of Not That Girl

[@madam-mint]

oh gosh can I just- no one has to read this I’m just gonna drop it here Mamma Mia’s tied to memories of the closest family member that I’ve ever lost, and I didn’t remember Slipping Through My Fingers. I listened to the soundtrack, came across that...and I heard the lyrics and felt like it was her singing to me, after wondering if she’d be proud of where I am now. Yeah, I was drawing when that song came on and I just had to drop all my stuff to wipe my face off.

[@DScritchy]

Gah! Slipping Through My Fingers. I’m an only to a single and we both sob through that song every single time we hear it. I got a shot if my mom isn’t around but if we’re watching the movie or something together... that song gets skipped. Like, hard pass.

[@harrisonburgeron]

Bruh what did I miss from Hamilton gets me sobbing every time 😭

[@Joecool7788]

I was gonna say Reqiuem from DEH. That's my favorite from the whole show and I was waiting for it in this video.

[@bowtoyoursensei554]

“Burn” is definitely sad, but “It’s Quiet Uptown” reaches into my chest, tears my heart out and rips it into a million pieces.

[@TravellerMel]

Yes. I have to skip it when I'm driving otherwise I would wreck my car...

[@razberrymist9475]

RIGHT???

[@teffanimar3663]

YES OMG I never cry with Burn but when Alexander says “look around look around Eliza” in It’s Quiet Uptown, I instantly tear up

Ya I think that’s one that destroyed me when I watched Hamitlton. It hurts my heart every time

[@aprilmayjune83]

[@elphie93]

So big so small makes me ugly cry every time.

[@codyisnumb]

If you wanna cry more, try in the bedroom down the hall. It was a demo that kind of replaces so big/so small, but it is SO powerful

[@panick_9550]

Especially alabanza from in the Heights for me (got into that show the day i lost my grandma and when i heard the news from my mom she was gone i just layed in my bed and put the song on repeat for a solid few hours before i called my sister and told her)

[@kylierose3256]

i used she used to be mine as my audition song for the show i'm doing right now and let me tell you, i was near tears the entire time i was preparing it 😂

[@tinyvermin2593]

“Heart of Stone” from Six had me crying

[@stephenhill8802]

Same, that bridge, I was balling.

[@ashlieryder8211]

Yeet the Child As someone who lost their mother, it definitely makes me cry, especially when Jane sings about not being there to see Edward grow up.

[@theycallmeemimi2397]

I was listening to “Bare” from Bare once while making a birthday gift for my friend and I just started hysterically crying. My dad walked into the room and was genuinely concerned to see me gluing stuff into a book (the present for my friend) and sobbing.

[@buffyside8420]

Theycallmeemimi 23 you physically can not listen to Bare without crying

[@izzaw]

when Jason says “I love you and I loved you from the start” I start crying my eyes out every time smh

[@handpuppetsbybrett]

practically every song in bare makes me cry so badly

[@keegswl5119]

[@sugarcube5826]

Heart of stone omg.

[@IWillBeHers]

I weep when I hear Lydia sing "a little unconventional, I know, but Mama I'm home!" in the finale of Beetlejuice.

[@grace5033]

YASSSS Heart of Stone!! The saddest part is without a doubt when Jane sings "soon I'll have to go, I'll never see him grow, but I hope my son will know he'll never be alone"...IT'S SO FRICKIN SAD!!!!

[@valeriedecadbury2978]

Class???

[@guacamolegoddess1342]

It’s quiet uptown and home are *hhhhh*

[@ashleymeyer3303]

“It’s Quiet Uptown” and “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story” from Hamilton “You Will Be Found”, Words Fail”, and “So Big/So Small” from Dear Evan Hansen “Loser, Geek, Whatever” and “Micheal in the Bathroom” from Be More Chill “I’ll Cover You (Reprise)” from RENT “Dying Ain’t So Bad” from Bonnie and Clyde “Still Hurting” from The Last Five Years “Kindergarten Boyfriend” from Heathers (I recently played Heather Chandler in a production of Heathers my friend who played Martha literally killed it so hard and I was sobbing in the wings) “She Used To Be Mine” from Waitress AhhhhhhhHHHHH just thinking about these damn songs I’m tearing up. But I’m so happy to have found this channel and to know that I’m not alone in my Broadway addiction. Happy to be in the theatre cult! Love ya, Kat!

[@lorenaperez3781]

[@kyleegreider3677]

I agree. Also Doubt Comes In from Hadestown

[@MrBruh281]

How the fuck does you will be found make you sad.

[@jessicamarshall1975]

Question of the day: • “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables” from Les Mis • “On My Own” from Les Mis • “The Movie In My Mind” from Miss Saigon • “Last Night of The World” from Miss Saigon • “I’d Give My Life For You” from Miss Saigon • “Satisfied” from Hamilton (Just how much Angelica cares for her sister it kills me) • “Stay Alive (Reprise)” and “It’s Quiet Uptown” (both only after seeing them live. It was sad on the cast recording but seeing them live? I was in tears, especially Eliza’s scream) • “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story” from Hamilton (especially when we get to the orphanage) • “You Will Be Found” from Dear Evan Hansen • “All You Wanna Do” from Six (the implications and realisations of what’s going on) • “Flowers” from Hadestown • “Promises” from Hadestown • “Wait For Me (Reprise)” from Hadestown • “Breathe” from In The Heights (I related so hard to Nina, I discovered In The Heights in my first year of University and had similar fears) • “Inútil” from In The Heights (The last bit especially) • “Alabanza” from In The Heights • “Still Hurting” from The Last 5 Years • “Unruly Heart” from The Prom • “One Song Glory” from RENT • “The Dark I Know Well” from Spring Awakening (It’s like All You Wanna Do, once you know what it’s about you can’t listen to it and not start thinking about that) I need to stop adding songs to this as I find them. This list is spiralling out of control.

[@RF-mc8cx]

All you Wanna Do hits HARD.

[@KatrinaPupstarCranelove]

^ When people make amazing animatics of ANY of these

[@KatrinaPupstarCranelove]

I also relate INSANELY to All you Wanna Do, and it hits me HAARRDD

[@strawberryqueen0382]

Yo how could you mention Hadestown songs and not bring up Road to Hell Reprise.

[@sazstetson8737]

Listening to the live versions of All You Wanna Do when she’s screaming and hysterical makes me cry so hard. And the deaf west version of The Dark I Know Well hits me the hardest honestly.

[@madam-mint]

(Note: I’m not sarcasming here, lol) I love how she says she’s PMSing hard and is really stressed but then she’s still so nice and upbeat. Like, I turn into a complete MONSTER...

[@farrahaliceblack7453]

Ive just been scrolling through the comments trying to find acknowledgement for He's My Boy. It's so stunning and SO gut wrenching. Nothing encapsulates being or being brought up by a single mum quite like that song 💕

[@valeriedecadbury2978]

[@CPEMS1921LizzLena]

“Inevitable” - The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals is such an upbeat song but it wrecks me emotionally because of the role it plays in the plot. But I still listen to it because it’s s o good

[@alyssastanley8083]

I love that song. It's my favorite from TGWDLM and it my favorite starkid show

[@CPEMS1921LizzLena]

Alyssa Stanley It’s my favorite from TGWDLM, but my favorite StarKid show has to be Starship because of what it means to me sentimentally. TGWDLM is a close 2nd/3rd though!!

[@alyssastanley8083]

Starship is my second, only because TGWDLM is a horror musical and I'm a sucker for a good horror musical

[@CPEMS1921LizzLena]

Alyssa Stanley TGWDLM and Black Friday are the only horror things I can watch because horror is generally too scary for me but ugh they’re both so good. I’m just a sucker for shows with a lot of emotional moments so Starship is 👌🏼

[@gretep]

Oh damn. I was absolutely destroyed after watching the Inevitable scene. Especially because it was so upbeat. Ugh.

[@Muffynz]

When I was just starting out as a high school theatre director, in my third year, I think, we unfortunately lost a very sweet and very beloved young lady to cancer. It was a huge blow to my program and we struggled throughout the year to rationalize and heal. I chose to direct Little Women: The Musical as our spring show that year and we dedicated it to her. It was tough as Beth dying from scarlet fever felt very close to what we were feeling in real life. There is a scene in Act II on a beach in which Beth tells her sister goodbye and that she's not afraid to die and just wishes they had more time together. We flew a purple kite above the audience as they sang "Some Things Are Meant To Be". I can not hear that song and not get wave after wave of emotions reminding me about that and how proud I was of my strong students for such a beautiful tribute.

[@hannahl701]

Muffynz this is beautiful and also breaks my heart. 💔

[@angeladavidson2350]

DEH act 2 WRECKS ME "Words Fail" "So Big, So Small" "The Bedroom Down the Hall" (which I don't think is in the show anymore...?)

[@airamay4314]

To answer the question of the day: -Literally the whole act 2 of Dear Evan Hansen -"Santa Fe" from Newsies -"Doubt Comes In" from Hadestown cuz you already know how the thing rolls from there -"Bring on the Monsters" from The Lightning Thief -"Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You" from The Last Five Years (the different sides just break me) -The entirety of Les Mis

This one is kinda weird, but “Dust and Ashes” from Great Comet kills me if I really feel it. That’sMY song. That’s the song that relates to me and my life and when I’m in the mood it is so cathartic and it absolutely destroys me. I’m always holding back tears when I sing it

Dangerous to dream kills me every time for some reason. Also, while I'm in the Frozen theme, the 3rd verse in Do You Wanna Build A Snowman when the parents die. My friend sings it (as Middle Anna) and it is heartbreaking. I'm Middle Elsa btw. It's so good in the OBC. Does What's Wrong With Me from Mean Girls also make you sad? It can be really relatable.

The “I’ll cover you, reprise” the pain in Colin’s last note...Oh God. My boyfriend had recently begun dating, he had never seen Rent, so I popped in the movie. I hadn’t watched it recently, I was not as fortified as I assumed, ended up sobbing. “Do you want to build a snowman?” KILLS me! Don’t judge, lol. My much younger adopted sister woke me most mornings, knocking on my bedroom door, asking me to play with her. Now that I live so far away from my family, it hurts that much more.

[@dixie1530]

Question of the day: "Home" from Beetlejuice destroys me. Especially when you see it in the context of the show and you get the dialogue in there. Also, "So Big/So Small" from DEH

[@kristinewidere1008]

Yes! Thank you, looking for "Home" in the comment section, now I'm finally .. home❤

[@whymeeeeeee]

The songs that come to mind are: -my house from matilda -letter from the refuge from newsies -do i love because you're beautiful from cinderella -i am here from come from away (and basically the entire soundtrack) -happy/sad from addams family for some reason???

[@s.g.5270]

YES Letter from the Refuge is so depressing

[@jayclo-2211]

“Words Fail” and “So Big So Small” being back to back just gets me bawling. Every time. Edit: Oh! Who could forget “I’ll Cover You Reprise”?

[@theatregirlmadiblake]

“So Big So Small.” I don’t know why, but I think I cry even more in that song then “Words Fail

[@mackenzie1283]

That song destroys me every time!

[@mjljohnson]

That one makes me cry more than words fail for sure

[@terry7899]

Definitely! I cry just thinking about the title, and being someone who relates to it HURTS

[@3lizabethrose]

SAME words fail only made me cry once when I saw it live but So Big So Small makes me cry EVERY SINGLE EFFING TIME

[@acozycornertochat]

I totally forgot about this song. Along with in the bedroom down the hall. Sob fest 2020

Jamie Everything Part of That, that’s a new one, not the typical song chosen from The Last 5 Years

[@paytoncarter1836]

this may be a “basic” answer but... nothing will ever make me cry like “I’ll Cover You (Reprise)” from Rent will.

how to destroy a N2N fan only using two words: "Gabe...Gabriel"

[@viscera8442]

part two; how to destroy a falsettos fan using only using five words: "everything will be alright....."

[@aisle9]

"I'll Cover You (Reprise)" breaks me wide open. Like, I've seen that show four-ish times since 2001 and listened to the soundtrack dozens of times,, and the only difference is that now the first playing of "I'll Cover You" wrecks me too because I know what's going to happen with that one line.

[@fayfalc21]

When I saw the title I was like “all of them”

[@Kath_Steele]

😂💖

[@maddieyuschovitz]

“who lives who dies who tells your story”- Hamilton As a history masters student, this song hits me hard at times. My thesis involves telling people’s stories and the legacies they left behind, which makes this song more meaningful to me

[@geobailey]

Maddie Yuschovitz this is so beautiful wow

[@theunoriginalian4147]

The musical theatre song that destroys me the most has to be "The I Love You Song" from The 35th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. That song hits close to home in a few aspects to the point where I get teary eyed each time I listen to it. That combined with the moment that Olive snaps out of her illusion and realizes that the thing she wants most in life is chimerical or will never happen along with the tone in her voice when she realizes it makes me want to cry every time I hear it.

[@cactuspeach2517]

I was looking for this exact comment omg, I almost cried onstage during this song when I did the show. The rest of the show is mostly so upbeat and then you get hit with this and it’s like aaaaaaa whyyyyyy

[@yellowobject]

1- She used to be mine- waitress 2- Kindergarten boyfriend- Heathers 2.5- Lifeboat- Heathers 3- All you wanna do- Six

[@No-by7wu]

I think a lot of people already covered some of mine, but. “Days of Plenty” from Little Women (also Something’s are meant to be) “Finale” From Hunchback of Notre Dame And “Another Room in Your Head” from Alice by Heart are pretty good ones that make me sob

[@dorothydonovan1364]

Something's are meant to be makes me bawl!

[@404kasha]

[@hannahopaltree2409]

[@katies7415]

Song that DESTROYED me recently: show yourself from frozen 2. I sob when I watch it. I sob when I listen to it. Even thinking about it makes me emotional. It’s the animation, the music, the story. Just all of it. I can’t handle it 😂

[@Pustekuchenstueck]

When I saw "Next to normal" for the first time it broke me. Hard. I came out the second act sobbing uncontrollably. It took almost an hour for me after the show before I finally managed to stop crying. This show just hit so close to home for me in so many ways and brought back so many memories that I just couldn't handle it. Meanwhile my friends stood there, unsure what to do or if they could do anything. In the end they just handed me one tissue after another while forming a wall around me so all the other people in the theater didn't get to see the emotional wreck that was sitting there. I'll probably always remember the impact this show had on my life. And Hadestown always gets me. When I listened to it the first time I knew how it would end. I knew the mythos very well since I had to study it and all the operas that were made based in it in university. I knew what was coming and yet I cried rivers. Which in itself wouldn't have been so bad. If I hadn't been at work that moment and wouldn't sit next to my boss who was understandably confused why that girl next to him started crying for no reason. Great times. History repeated itself when I found a bootleg of the show a few days later. I cried again. At work. Next to my boss. Oh well. ^^'

[@shnurffle]

unruly heart from the prom makes me cry. i'm a lesbian and hearing the line "no matter what the world might say, this heart is the best part of me" really hits home, growing up in a homophobic environment. honourable mentions: ring of keys - fun home: young alison was me. seeing that representation makes me cry. the tony performance wrecks me) pretty much the entirety of act 2 of falsettos: i got to see the off-west end production and sobbed. bare: just like, all of it. breathe, everything i know - in the heights: when this film comes out i'm gonna be a mess

for me it's definitely: "so big/so small" and "in the bedroom down the hall" from deh, oof that hurted. It's technically not a musical, but "I wanna hold your hand" from across the universe. "Breath" from in the heights, that hits differently as you get older lol. "She used to be mine" and "what baking can do" from waitress. Oh lord.

"Something's missing" from Come From Away. The first time I listened through the cast recording (unfortunately I haven't seen the show), I started crying immediately and once it gets to THAT phone call, i just started full on sobbing. I'm tearing up just thinking about it.

[@Phelie315]

Yeah... come from away is the only musical ever where I cry just listening to the soundtrack with no visual or context whatsoever. But that's partly also because what really gets me isn't just people dying, it's acts of human kindness. And the entire musical is that 100% of the time so it WRECKS me!

[@wordofyourbody3252]

Spring Awakening is the only musical that has ever made me cry. Really, it’s a show I’ve related to on so many levels. Something that will always get me is Left Behind. I’ve never cried so hard from a musical song.
