musical theatre moments that make me cry

[@kerrw2790]

FINALLY someone else knows the emotional stakes of legally blonde 😢

[@gia.marie2002]

Starting off with Eliza’s scream and It’s Quiet Uptown, I’m not even a minute in and I’m crying 😂😭

[@annanestor9936]

when they do "the orphanage" though...

[@nikoaugustine5415]

Same

[@kellychapman190]

Reads *elizas scream* Me: “i can do it” Eliza: screams Me: cries

[@Th3StripedDoll]

Honestly one of the hardest moments forever will be the "Eliza" in who lives, who dies, who tells your story. Or "the orphanage". Both just straight up open up the tear ducts

[@PaigeOfTheSound]

On GOD "the orphanage" gets me every time. And the "oh I can't wait to see you again, it's only a matter of time" I'm a WRECK

[@darkangelw8472]

I love the song "Ireland", Legally Blonde-musical is so underrated. Such a beautiful musical

[@forestenrory]

my school did it for our senior musical i love 'legally blonde' (the song) always made me cry

[@quendrum9896]

100%

[@alexandersean4708]

Theatre in general is underrated.

[@adrianaspeis]

Legally blonde makes me cry everytime no matter how much I hear it “Just let me say how much I want you to say” AHHHHH

[@Dead-or-Alive1985]

Including the full entirety of When I Grow Up is SUCH a mood

[@madelinepape3744]

i do professional theater in my city, and i was matilda in matilda. The whole show was fun

[@madelinepape3744]

the swings were surprisingly hard to work with, because they kept getting twisted

[@NoIts_Eliza13]

nah we did it in our poor school so we had to take out ceiling tiles for the swings to work and they were so fun

[@moo4boy]

When My HS did Matilda, the part that got me was Ms., Honeys part at the end, because in so many ways she is just like the kids just wanting to grow up but unable to because of Trunchbull.

[@broadwaybrook2319]

@@NoIts_Eliza13 Sounds like fun. And interesting that they had to remove the ceiling tiles to make them work.

[@emiliadadda914]

Putting falsettos at the end was evil. I’m now sobbing

[@Blackthorne369]

“I’m beautiful.” The simple realisation and declaration from “I’m Here”, The Colour Purple. Every. Single. Time.

[@tillydee933]

Of COURSE it starts with the three most heartbreaking moments on Hamilton! I legit have to squint and hold my breath through Pippa's scream! 😭😭😭

[@broadwaybrook2319]

Cause it's so genuine. I honestly get chills cause I am honestly a little scared for how Pippa screams like that.

[@JustinJamesL]

Laura's acting was incredible. Instant tears well up. So happy to find someone who also gets it.

[@really-quite-exhausted]

Legally Blonde absolutely wrecks me every single time 😢

[@webkinzstudent45]

i graduate in less than a week. when i grow up literally slapped me across the face and left me in shambles.

[@chiara.i]

falsettos BREAKS ME every time😭😭😭 also NO I CANT TAKE SEEING CHRISTIAN CRY😭😭😭😭

[@pjs9265]

Musical theater, for that matter all theater, is the greatest gift God gave us. Thank you for making this compilation.

[@broadwaybrook2319]

Amen. It gives us a chance to witness the amazing musical talents that people have and are willing to share with the rest of us.

[@michael5876]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS PREACH!!!

[@anniedownum451]

Ok putting Hamilton first was evil because THAT HARMONY AHHHH. and the following up with Dear Evan Hansen and I'm sobbing so thanks

[@bellarc321]

Ireland is my favorite song in Legally Blonde. Legally Blonde is one of my two school musicals this year. I wish I was playing Paulette. I love the song so much. I got to play Elphaba and my best friend played Glinda when we did For Good in our camp’s cabaret. It made everyone cry, including us.

[@cphaura9968]

you had NO right to include in the bedroom down the hall ,now I'm not just crying and sobbing I'm also hurting all over 😭

[@jessica23claire]

Not sure why Legally Blonde in particular had me BAWLING today but here we are...

[@BethFrazerx]

these children in musicals the TALENT they have to learn and perform all those lines + songs 😭

[@jackieadelle190]

I just realized I accidentally put the Hello Dolly clip in twice oops

[@amydixon2377]

Yep, many tear jerkers there! Eliza's scream gets me every time. The other one that gets me every time that wasn't there is Elphaba's song "No Good Deed" from Wicked. :"Fiyero!"

[@emiilysheils5030]

I saw Hamilton 2 days ago and the entire theatre was BAWLING! the current London cast is incredible.

[@darkangelw8472]

Musicals make me feel alive, the lyrics hit me right I my heart

[@minimooster7258]

I need to stop watching these before my exams

[@camilabarbosa209]

pls i have an exam tomorrow morning😭

[@the.envkat]

you will be found gets me bawling EVERY. DAMN. TIME.

[@rats_in_a_PACK]

**unlikely lovers starts playing** my tear ducts: all us to introduce ourselves edit: SO I ACTUALLY STARTED UGLY CRYING FROM WHAT WOULD I DO ON

[@justfinningit6336]

how you gonna edit your comment and still spell "allow us" wrong

[@deeptreble]

The one line from Dear Evan Hansen that ALWAYS makes me cry: "Is there another truck coming to our driveway? A truck that will take mommy away?"

[@ameliabrinker4814]

I wish there was only one that made me cry every time 😂

[@olivia-oo7eg]

When the phantom sings after all I ask of you hurts me sm

[@louvveeeelleiremua]

Absolutely criminal. Criminal to attack me this early in the morning omggg😭😭😭😭😭

[@dekusi1857]

wait i'm so sorry but i'm cackling- i've never seen hamilton so that part fully plays like a gta wasted death scene to me 😭😭😭

[@alexlovespeace]

you really had to start us off with that SCREAM.i cant not cry

[@monicacatherine]

When I Grow Up gets me every time

[@TheBlondeGeniusGaming]

Putting in what I think is the clip from “for Good” from Idina’s last performance was EVIL.😭😭😭

[@erinidum]

"The following clips contain spoilers for Falsettos" Everyone who's seen Falsettos knows what's coming and is already crying

[@denise-cailynbeltransantia353]

IN THE BEDROOM DOWN THE HALL OH MY GOD. IM SOBBING

[@malloryfallon6394]

1:15 omg who is this dude? He’s amazing! Like he’s LEGIT crying!!!!

[@FirstnameLastname-vf9rp]

i think it’s michael lee brown?

[@ameliabrinker4814]

​@@FirstnameLastname-vf9rpyou're correct!

[@cassidyparker4711]

elizas screams get me every time 🥲

[@joslinkeim7201]

seeing keaton whittaker in compilations like this always throws me off bc a guy i did theater with as a kid was in that production

[@stylox1253]

Falsettos makes me cry at the drop of the last act.

[@ziggystardog]

I’ve never seen so much open sobbing at a Broadway show as the last 20 minutes of Next To Normal

[@maddieb.4282]

Spring Awakening.

[@cheys5221]

I stopped watching falsettos for the 100th time midway bc I didn’t feel like seeing the sadness of it and here we are 😂

[@whizzvins]

LITERALLY ME RN

[@charlottek.207]

i haven’t seen falsettos but i’m literally bawling my eyes out 😭

[@mknz4948]

imagine singing for good at the last show as a hs senior oh godddd

[@Daeranilen]

I was in a choir in college and for the final show for my graduating class the choir director selected For Good as our closing number. Rehearsals went fine, but when we actually had to perform it for the final time in front of our friends and family? It's a miracle we got through the song at all; most of us were sobbing onstage.

[@annsleysmith5969]

I did matilda for my one act and I think when I grow up is the best slow/sad musical theatre song ever

[@stressmuffin]

I was in Godspell in high school in 1990. I wish one of us cast members sang Beautiful City, because it’s a damn waterworks song. 😭

[@maggiefrost5021]

Ok for a while this video just made me mad because there wasn’t any falsettos and that is the musical that makes me sob uncontrollably and then the end hit and I was done for😭

[@KuroDokueki]

FINALLY. Someone gets how powerful and impactful You Learn To Live Without is. Hell, basically any part of If/Then. Criminally underrated.

[@EmiTheGreat]

WHY ITS LESS THAN A MINUTE INTO THE VID AND IM SOBBING

[@darkangelw8472]

Damn Matilda makes me cry as well. cmon Johnson, open up the theatres to full capacity

[@theuncreativeperson5790]

Literally words fail and good for you are so powerful like omg

[@bayaticolleen]

Okay the og cast of Matilda should get together again and sing this song

[@eliiuu9597]

SMILE THROUGH THE PAIN GUYS YOU CAN DO IT-

[@CarmenflamdeZ]

viewer's log: 3:00 in the morning, I'm crying oceans, once again... really needed a reason to cry tonight thank u also that little detail on what Jason says in Hebrew destroyed my little heart.

[@mattyearout4856]

Bare breaks my heart every time I listen to it.

[@fromlilywithlove]

no bc when i grow up makes me cry every time is so nostalgic for me

[@lottiesm]

the song legally blonde breaks me everytime

[@ffenicc]

I tried my best to keep my tears until “ What Would I Do” from falsettos

[@kayseyjane]

girl you rlly chose to start with the WORsT one the WHIPLASH I THOUGHT ITD BE GRADUAL SADNESS NOT ALL AT ONCE

[@maria7689]

Amazing talent with everybody

[@Ezra4224]

The legally blonde reprise wrecks me everytime

[@ChelCM03]

I couldn't watch half of this cause I would just start sobbing uncontrollably

[@witchqueen1296]

You had to add Eliza's scream in Hamilton.. 😭

[@martabotiasalinero]

Don’t know why but this songs make me sad: - Anything can happen Mary Poppins - Spoonful of sugar/Shooting star Mary Poppins - Climb every mountain Finale The Sound of Music - Finale In the heights - Somewhere over the rainbow only sung by Judy Garland

[@katielicheni9451]

As soon as I saw the falsettos warning I knew I was done for

[@itsabbycadabby]

for good bawled my eyes out 😢 its too freaking good

[@steveharvey6080]

first one alone made me cry damn it

[@emilykaurin6797]

Anything second act from big fish (especially I don't need a roof) will make me bawl. Highly recommend anyone wanting a less known musical to see/watch it!

[@chronicfossil]

OMG NOT FALSETTOS AND BARE

[@broadwaybrook2319]

Cynthia Erivo (singing): "I'm beautiful" Me: "Yes, yes you are, Cynthia Erivo. You are beautiful."

[@yoko3182]

I swear if So Big/So Small isn't on this list....

[@dogsforever5707]

As a bisexual Catholic, Bare does just hit so hard

[@dogsforever5707]

Like, the themes... the self hatred... the mommy/daddy issues... the faith in spite of everything... I die everytime

[@shmin7307]

YOU CANT INDLUDE IM HERE AND WXPECT ME TO SURVIVE

[@RosieTheWickedFangirl2007]

For good from Wicked is my favourite SAD song in musical theatre history cause Wicked is my favourite musical and when you get to know the wicked witch of the west that’s what makes her death really sad(She doesn’t really die)

[@itsyagurlpineappleshirt9307]

the whole end of ride the cyclone deserves to be on here😭

[@mysam4504]

**tosses boxes of tissues into the comment section**

[@whizzvins]

you could’ve put all of act 2 falsettos here , because well , if you get through that without crying then 🙇🏼‍♀️

[@luctownend2514]

LITERALLY THOUGH LIKE THE FIRST TIME I WATCEHD I WAS DISTRACTED FOR A LOT OF IT AND DIDNT BUT EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. AFTER

[@croissantqueen4415]

It was a crime to put Bare in this compilation. I came here to cry, not full on sob-

[@madelinepape3744]

So, I have been doing theater since I was 5, so at that age, I was trained to laugh instead of cry at the stuff that occurs on stage. Stage therapy sucks. You need to be good at composing yourself really quickly. Also, i am really good at pretending to be dead. its really fun

[@Gigi-ui6nt]

I was doing fine until bare showed up and it was the Jonah platt version too 😭

[@TheSpifster]

You: "Falsettos spoilers, very sad" Me: "YES. FINISH ME OFF"

[@lordfreyr]

Falsettos has a lotta nerve making me cry when the only things i know about it are whats in this video goddamn

[@3Peperina]

Me: I can do this, I can do this *a wild falsettos appears* Me: fuck... *starts ugly crying*

[@edwardianmystery]

I was so good and then Falsettos hit and I was down for the count. Oh gosh.

[@abigailtrachtenberg9662]

YES BARE A POP OPERA REPRESENTATION

[@Olivia_Thompson_]

The guy with curly hair singing What Would I Do is the same guy who played Emmet Forrest in Legally Blonde

[@luctownend2514]

Omg rlly??? No wayyyy 😱😱 (you should be ashamed that you don't know Christian Borle's entire career 😮‍💨)

[@s-agk]

IM ACTUALLY UGLY CRYING NOW DAMN IT 😀🤚

[@oly_olympiadis]

18:01 I am CONVINCED that what is actually happening here, is that Marvin realises he gave it to Whizzer, thus blaming himself for losing his lover. Am i basing this theory on anything? No. I just wanna make me feel more pain for absolutely no reason :')

[@TheSillyPersonlol]

NOOOOOO NOT FALSETTOS AT THE END IM SO SAD NOW 😭😭😭😭

[@randotheaterkid8993]

im crying.send help

[@icarusfallen613]

absolutely devastating, great job!

[@koralibra761]

Hello Dolly was my first musical to be in and seeing it on here brings back memories of orange face paint, bad acne but beautiful costumes. Edit: HOW DARE YOU ADD IN THE BEDROOM DOWN THE HALL OMG

[@enolaaccarion2261]

putting falsettos at the end is the worst, i haven't cried that much in weeks

[@stressmuffin]

Spoiler alert for those who did not see Falsettos: When I saw Falsettos, us fans know that Marvin will be the next one to die. The scene when Marvin & Whizzer were out of breath after playing racket ball, we know that they both have AIDS. I hope that Marvin & Trina did not have sex, while Marvin was having an affair with Whizzer, because if Marvin and Trina had sex during Marvin and Whizzer’s affair, is it possible that Trina can have HIV?

[@jakeharris198]

Anyone know who’s singing on the Godspell track? 15:38

[@casidhegerish2129]

bette midler a fucking masterpiece

[@AshleighCollins-nm3kj]

Literally anything by William Finn=😭

[@johnday5584]
