[@Connortheexpressengine]

Say no to this (Hamilton)

[@donnafulmer7032]

Defying Gravity

[@aroraCrow]

The next right thing and wishing you were somehow here again

[@sresnick03]

Jennifer Hudson nailed that role as Effy.

[@dinomonzon7493]

C'est Moi/Camelot, Camelot (Camelot) I Don't Know How to Love Him/Everything's Alright (Jesus Christ Superstar)

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

El Tango De Roxanne is just such a masterpiece of a scene, song, acting performances and powerful voices. The first time I watched the movie this scene left me in tears. Not because it was making super sad but it was just filled with so much emotion and passion. I really started crying because I was just wowed by everything in the scene

[@Maykay524]

I’m glad Tango Roxanne was on here! It’s one of my favorites from the movie. The mix in tones and voices….just amazing

[@littlesongbird1]

Agreed.

[@MsLittlemeee90]

And beautiful Polish accent in this song with Jacek Koman performance 😀

[@taralowe7011]

Yes!!! All the songs from Moulin Rouge were amazing, especially the songs sung by Ewan McGregor-he has the most amazin̈g voice that just makes me melt!

[@nickloschen2717]

I absolutely love the 2004 Phantom of the Opera movie with Gerard Butler. He did a great job!

[@LolaP-q8l]

I agree

[@jobpaculba3526]

Completely agree! 💯💯

[@henriklindholm7007]

it was autotuned

[@madamemaximoff9838]

I agree

[@angelarollins9748]

Absolutely agree! He absolutely smashed it!

[@shesakillerqueeeen]

The way I was OBSESSED with Moulin Rouge and Phantom omfg ❤ the songs are literally perfect

[@LadyCaitB]

SAME!!! I watched both those movies hundreds of times back to back!

[@shesakillerqueeeen]

@LadyCaitB seriously. There was a time I could quote them word for word

[@gabrielasaldivia7923]

"I'll cover you (Reprise)" never fails to give me goosebumps... Jesse L. Martin voice is soooo beautiful!!!

[@CrAZZZyL0Ve]

YES!! that song always makes me cry when I see it on stage🥲

[@Katie21892]

@@CrAZZZyL0Vesame! 😢

[@hermajestymaryshakesherbooty]

I cry EVERY time

[@Kallynthehuntress]

Even now, how many years later and how many times listening to it, it still makes me cry

[@PopStarLegend4365]

I remember listening to “All I Ask Of You”. When I was in my sophomore year of high school, my friends and I were watching The Phantom of the Opera during our choir class. During Christene and Raoul’s duet, I was practically bawling my eyes out. They’re so beautiful and adorable together! 🥹

[@jennifer_m.8613]

Now that's a song that sends chills down your spine

[@coffee.candy.therapy]

This was released when I was in high school and my friends were orchestra kids so of course we saw it in theater. My friend would also play the soundtrack whenever we did homework so I heard it for months on end before it released lol. Good times.

[@GunnarSigmundson]

My first cousin was fortunate enough to play Christine on Broadway.

[@ellenstrack6274]

By the time you saw it in highschool I had probably been to the Broadway play at least 20 times...I took my mom to the Broadway play and we went to see the film. And remember 4 teenagers coning out complaining "they sang the entire movie, who does that?" My mom told her OPERA .

[@DaniSInNC]

I've never seen Les Mis, but I've watched that Anne Hathaway performance on KZbin many times. It was the first time that the lyrics of "I Dreamed a Dream" have registered it with me. The song has been used several times in auditions on competition shows like The Voice, but the singers always performed it in a way that led me to believe it was a triumphant song. Watching the Anne Hathaway rendition helped me understand the meaning.

[@lunaskye2352]

The last sentence of the whole song is "now life has killed the dream I dreamed". In which way is that triumphant?

[@rebeccaschneider5223]

You should watch the whole musical. It is so good and has so many good songs that will stuck into your head for days.

[@kirstenness6817]

The movie is amazing

[@ChemaEn]

For me the movie is terrible. Just give a shot to any of the anniversary (10th or 25th) recordings (here in KZbin) and you'll see the HUGE difference.

[@tchinson60]

@@lunaskye2352- I don’t know how old the O/P is, but I do know that when we’re young -like teens and younger - the lyrics to songs don’t always register in the mind as much as the music and emotion does. So, that could be why.

[@ladymandynz1]

Greatest Showman got me through breast cancer treatment, watched the video numerous time a day. I loved the origional West Side story it used to be show on TV , along with The King and I, and the Sound of Music when I was a child and I always watched them with my Mum. Les Mis and Chicago are my daughter's favourites and we stream them to watch together when she comes home from Uni.

[@azohundred1353]

Judy Garland singing "The Man That Got Away" in A Star Is Born (1954) gives me chills everytime I hear it. Such a powerful and beautiful voice. I'm glad it got a mention when Over The Rainbow was picked for #3.

[@seanellio]

From "Oliver!" which I saw on an elementary school field trip, I cried when Oliver Twist is locked in a basement, and he is singing: "Where Is Love". I'm now 65 years old, and I still love that scene.

[@AKAlaina-misc]

You know it’s funny there’s a moment in this movie when Dodger and Fagin just look at eachother, it’s after they realize Nancy is dead and Bill has led the police there and they’ve all got to run…the look in Dodger’s eyes is THE moment that DESTROYED ME…..and made me love that film forever

[@KeeperOfUntoldDreams]

Les Misérables (2012) is still one of my favorite movies of all time, and just about every song gives me chills for different reasons.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

That is the best way to describe Les Miserables

[@hoskins445able]

Roxanne from Moulin Rouge is the moment I fell in love with musicals and Ewan McGregor

[@Patrech]

"PACIENCIA Y FE" is not only a stunning song, the way it is filmed, choreographed and staged in the film elevates it to possibly the greatest complete package of any song in a movie musical i've ever seen.

[@brianagrzybowski4734]

If you’re putting Sound of Music on this list, I would include the Edelweiss, the last time Captain Von Trapp sings before he moves his family out of Austria.

[@seanhorace925]

Here’s some that could’ve been on the list: .Judas Death-Jesus Christ Superstar .Man or Muppet-The Muppets .Home- The Wiz .There Are Worse Things I Could Do-Grease .Louder than Words-Tick Tick Boom .Goodbye Yellow Brick Road-Rocketman .Don’t Cry for Me Argentina-Evita

[@leafa00]

no Chicago? I am surprised. "all that jazz" and "cell-block tango" from Catherine Zeta-Jones won her an oscar, and she was pregnant too! plus there's also "when you're good to mama" from THE Queen Latifah!

[@susanweber6861]

Yes!

[@susanweber6861]

Tomorrow belongs to me never fails to give me chills

[@sarahjamieson5552]

Cell Block Tango is definitely a chill-giver. Partly because of the ferocity and fierce sensuality of performance as the strut and sing about the murders they've committed and then with the one innocent one in the middle you can see is not being believed because of the language barrier. The other song from Chicago that gives me chills is Mr Cellophane.

[@CrazyKoala1990]

Mister Cellophane is the most goosebumps inducing song for me

[@susanweber6861]

@ it was just such a great movie

[@CinematicOdysseyUS]

"PACIENCIA Y FE" is a song I listened to that deeply moved me; it brings back many memories for me.

[@xlaxxers5019]

Frrr I was just thinking the same thing

[@Kiwi42andEverything]

Love all your picks. Meryl Streep's the winner takes it all (from mamma mia ) also gives goosebumps

[@davidyoung6649]

Especially because she did that in one take. Incredible!!!

[@lynnlRDR-RDR2]

Much agreed

[@joerhea9340]

The ending of Moulin Rouge "Come What May." That rendition always brings me to tears and is so powerful. Satine changes the lyrics, when she sings, come back to me and forgive everything." Its the moment when Christian knew she was being truthful.

[@jamesespey249]

For me, Over the Rainbow is the second movie song by Judy Garland. #1 is "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS.

[@Rosepetalsfall98]

I’m kind of sad Don’t Cry For Me Argentina from the 1996 film Evita isn't on here. When I first saw it, I felt so moved. It’s such a beautiful song and Madonna performed it well.

[@juliea9064]

I've never applauded a movie in a theatre, much less a standing ovation, but I rose to my feet with a tear-streaked face and goosebumps all over my body when Jennifer Hudson sang "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" in Dreamgirls.

[@clicky1996]

Even though I know the outcome, my heart races every time I watch that scene in Moulin Rouge.

[@beckymaggie4606]

Old Man River always gives me goosebumps

[@brenttaylor1866]

Only Hope... Mandy Moore in A Walk To Remember is a show stopper, gives chills every time... and is amongst the all time greatest scenes in cinema. And yes, waiting for this scene where Jaime comes out of her frumpy shell and Landon is literally blown away.

[@truecho5by5]

I'm usually crying like a baby by the time "I'll cover you (reprise)" is done.

[@megha6287]

I’d like to submit the live action Beauty and the Beast’s “forevermore” for the counting

[@sofijarandjelovic7482]

Phantom of the opera is the best ❤

[@TheCT416]

Several songs from Les Mis give chills, but Bring Him Home always hits hard. One Song Glory from Rent is another.

[@lissie8602]

when i watched the greatest showman in the cinema it was after running away from home the opening whoas suddenly cheered me up and i connected to this is me on a deepest level

[@ErickaRivera1601]

I am just waiting for Defying Gravity. Hands down, Cinthya Erivo will do justice to the song and we will need to add it at the top of this list.

[@tizcristiano8881]

When Queen Latisha sings “I know where I’ve been” I get chills every time

[@monika_martin]

Latifa

[@AngeliqueLalique]

One song I have not seen mentioned is Close Every Door from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! Always a moving song to hear! Donny Osmond nails it!

[@kevinchristman6101]

Taking nothing away from Anne Hatheways performance, but Hugh Jackman singing "Bring him home" was amazing.

[@lyndaringer2567]

I love Eddie Redmayne's Empty Chairs at Empty Tables. Makes me cry every time. All the songs from Sweeney Todd are amazing and make me want to sing along. But my favorite is Your Eyes from Rent

[@chelseacanales8763]

I agree with everything on this list. It moves your heart and gives you goosebumps

[@unruffledduck]

More of these kinds of compilations, adds value to life and living and inspires so much. Thank you!

[@jessidigger]

All I ask of you is a beautiful choice for the Phantom of the Opera, but Music of the Night will forever be my favorite with Gerard Butler

[@CrazyKoala1990]

That whole movie was pure magic, wasn't it? So wonderful

[@jessidigger]

@CrazyKoala1990 it was, can't believe it was out 20 years ago

[@cindyrobinson3077]

Agree

[@lostheroes87]

What about 'Home' by Diana Ross in The Wiz? It gives me just as many chills as any on this list.

[@davidyoung6649]

Edelweiss from Sound of Music, Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins, Man or a Muppet from The Muppets, the Winner Takes It All from Mamma Mia, are all great numbers!

[@RapFanatic4ever]

I still say Olivia Newton John Hopelessly Devoted To You from Grease .

[@mkz9339]

What about There are worse things I could do? I think both deserve to be on the list... but alas the list was too short...

[@Panic0mode]

😮 watch 2004 phantom of the opera yesterday!

[@nathanielwazhere]

One of my top ones is “Winner Takes it all” from Mama Mia…geez

[@FanofFantasy1]

Climb every mountain is my absolute favorite. I will put my DVD in just to play that part of the movie.

[@cedgson91]

Don’t forget don’t rain on my parade Barbara Streisand Also cell block tango Chicago

[@jetziiophelia9757]

Memory from Cats.❤

[@susanfurner3506]

Loved the music from The Greatest Showman.

[@AKAlaina-misc]

I’m seated for all of these…Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas with Judy Garland rips my soul to pieces every time.

[@hopepeace883]

I was very moved by Anne Hathaway's performance in Les Miserable, I didn't know she had such a great voice and the acting was very touching. Truly an incredible performance.

[@brieezy.]

everything from The Phanton of The Operah(2004 movie) is chilling

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Summer night- Grease. Happy monday morning (and week start) Emily, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@khawkey25]

Damn, ANNE HATHAWAY - she guts me when she sings that song. I have yet to watch it witthout bawling my eyes out. I've now forbidden myself from watching it because it rips my heart out for the rest of the day.

[@zamyafields6513]

*MY FAVORITES:* "This Is Me" - The Greatest Showman "All I Ask Of You" - The Phantom of the Opera "I Know Where I've Been" - Hairspray "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" - Grease "El Tango de Roxanne" - Moulin Rouge "I Dreamed a Dream" - Les Misérables "Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" - La La Land "Somewhere" - West Side Story "Over the Rainbow" - The Wizard of Oz "Hopelessly Devoted to You" - Grease "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" - The Sound of Music "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" - Dreamgirls

[@pamcoyer9582]

Barbra Streisand’s “don’t rain on my Parade” has no equal. Hudson’s rendition of You’re gonna love me” is wonderful. But Barbra’s song is for the ages!❤❤❤

[@sburris65]

I totally agree with #1. However I'll Cover You deserves more than honorable mention. Also I prefer On My Own over I Dream the Dream.

[@sarahm4046]

One very underrated musical is Hello Dolly. So many good songs in that musical! My favorite was always So Long Dearie. 😍

[@mattandsarahaschan]

Not a song, but a score, the music that plays while Simba is talking to Mufassa in the sky, the score gives me chills every time

[@dawnz909]

That one and when he is battling Scar and takes over pride rock. From start to finish. Perfection.

[@zuamps1542]

Rocketman 🚀 Taron Egerton should have got an Oscar for his role ❤❤

[@railvet1]

Seriously, no "Memories" from Cats?

[@mariehernandez5878]

Old Man River was the song that immediately came to mind when I saw this post. Over the Rainbow, of course, is a winner as well.

[@hiryuuhime]

Another great movie musical and soundtrack that should be mentioned: Sweeny Todd with Johnny Depp. Absolutely awesome

[@ellensweigert754]

Movie Musical Songs that gave us chills These songs from movie musicals always gives me the chills. This is me- Greatest showman Till there was you- The Music Man The Sound of Music- Sound if Music For Good- Wicked Listen- Dream Girls I know where I’ve been- Hairspray Edelweiss- Sound of music A Change in me- Beauty and the beast (the musical I know this song was not in the movie though)

[@lostandcharmed]

I love musicals. POTO, The Greatest Showman, and Moulin Rouge

[@manix0260]

One that really got me is from Tick Tick... Boom... "Real Life" as well as "Why"... Both give me the chilliest if chills when they happen.

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

So wonderful!

[@houstonbuchanan1925]

"I'll Cover You (Reprise)" just being an honorable mention is criminal..

[@2010Ryanswife]

I LOVE musicals! Two of my favorites are "Carnival " and "Hello, Dolly!"

[@alexwolos4728]

Suddenly Seymour will always give me goosebumps.

[@49ers_red_and_gold2]

Rent! 500 twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes 😎

[@esciteach7997]

I thought of that too since those under 35 won't understand the heartache we all felt as the writer ,musician and dreamer who made Rent, Jonathon Larson age 34 died THE NIGHT BEFORE it opened on Broadway. His mom accepted the Tony for Best Musical a few months later.

[@sarahramsey9454]

tear jerker literally bawling all the way literally crying made me well up and teary eyed on every single song

[@nataliaxicotencatl1846]

The entire video made me chill

[@mattcooke1619]

Roxanne from Moulin Rouge is amazing. One of the beet

[@maisy-raecatton366]

You forgot You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen. Not only does that song give us goosebumps, it sent out a message we all needed to hear.

[@helenwright413]

this! ^ 100%

[@jazdia78]

"Pappa, Do You Hear Me?" by Streisand.

[@esciteach7997]

thought of that too . . . Streisand sings that as she arrives in New York harbor as so many millions have done; my relatives to find a new life !!!!!

[@LFire12]

No 2. should clearly be No. 1. Hathaway's performance is gut wrenching. And you should've put The Man That Got Away, up there, 100 percent. Don't Rain on My Parade from Funny Girl? Worse Things I could Do, from Grease. Here's to the Ones Who Dream" from La La Land. Impossible Dream from Man of La Mancha....You'll Never Walk Alone, from Carousel? A lot out there that grab you more on there. But agree totally about the switch on Somewhere for West Side Story. And kudos on All I Ask Of You, easily my favourite version of that. Patrick Wilson is criminally underrated and an all around talent, and he and Rossum blended beautifully.

[@JaemeelRobinson]

I clearly believe that the No.1 is correct.

[@sukijay4990]

I love the song from LaLaLand you mentioned . Thanks for the reminder.

[@esciteach7997]

Papa Can You Hear Me? (all of us telling our parents [who passed away] "I made it") from Yentl and Finale from Les Mis (Tomorrow Comes?) as it is the song for any and all oppressed people wanting rights and democracy - - and it really did happen in France in late 1700"s (what Les Mis was all about)

[@soldierboy245]

I love musical movies 😍❤️

[@LilMie-l7z]

Let´s be honest, all songs from the Greatest Showman give us chills

[@Sunshinebtfly98]

Rent- seasons of love Cats-Memories Les Mis- On My Own Annie-Hard Knock Life Greatest Showman- This is Me And of course Phantom of the Opera- Music of the Night ❤

[@kimb9362]

Over the Rainbow should be # 1

[@marcusyates3044]

All Songs from the Musicals - SpongeBob and Beetlejuice - RANKED!

[@BeeKool__113]

The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movies and Over the Rainbow is my favorite song 🌈👠👠

[@taralowe7011]

I love it as well, although I love 🌈 Israel Kamakawiwo'ole ➖ 'Over The Rainbow' & 'What A Wonderful ... this version of the song and his voice a bit better. So sad that he passed, what a great man with a great voice!! Also, he could totally have been perfect in Moana as Maui!!❤

[@totallystories]

As Long As He Needs Me sung by Nancy in Oliver - Defying Gravity from Wicked

[@alexandrakimbink3198]

My Love, My Life from Mamma Mia 2 should be an honorable mention

[@jonathanlewis6798]

we must not forget barbra streisand final # in a Star is Born knock out.

[@michellecasey5752]

Great choices!

[@kristytimm1727]

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from Phantom of the Opera always makes me cry.

[@lukasbendel704]

When watching "Hair" I allways wait for "Machester, England" - not because it's the end vut because it's the ultimate hymn for friendship/devotation. But there are so many wonderful songs in this movie.

[@monika_martin]

These are some good choices. However, Emilia Jones' rendition of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" from the movie CODA was absolutely incredible. Not only did it show innocence and maturity at the same time, Jones adds American Sign Language as she's performing the song. I think you really missed the boat on that one.

[@Cyannah117]

So many great songs…El Tango De Roxanne is one of my favourites, one of the best mashups of all time in my opinion, and the song that proved to the world how awesome a vocalist Ewan McGregor actually is, but Queen Latifa’s “I Know Where I’ve Been” has my heart and is still in my regular music playlist. I’m also a an absolutely massive fan of Phantom, but the movie version just didn’t cut it sadly. Also annoyed that no songs from Chicago, Cabaret, Rent, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady etc. (so many more) didn’t make this list. 😢 Sorry…will never agree that “I Am Telling You” from Dream Girls should be #1 on a musical moments list! The song is awesome and so is Jennifer but it does not deserve the #1 spot of the greatest musical performances of all time!!!

[@rickgonzalez7141]

Yental, Annie, Guys n Dolls, Ray, AND YOU missed Cats

[@dwightyoung8878]

I was introduced to Emma Rossum in the series, Shamless,I didn’t even know she could sing!😊

[@rollerholy100]

Richard Harris..How to Handle a Women!! Always love it!

[@MrSteve280]

it's the music that gave us chills, not all the talking

[@gamestress]

Remember Memories?

[@eldupont3095]

No Memory? Sad

[@LolaP-q8l]

Empty Chairs is my top pick, I can't watch it without crying I also love PTO especially Music of the Night. All of these you featured are good choices. I didn't really like the new Westside Story but love the OG

[@sharonsimsay7995]

What about. Far from the home I love. From fiddler on the roof

[@esciteach7997]

Sunrise/Sunset

[@tedflanc1024]

I thought for sure a song from Mary Poppins would’ve been on the list. I’ve never even heard of Dreamgirls!!!

[@ruthshere9468]

It was a broadway show in the 70's made into a movie. Go watch it. Great movie.

[@FrancineArcieri]

I love my Phantom/ Take Me For What I Am from Rent is a can't miss I'm Not Going from Dreamgirls Greatest Showman Running The Night so many too many to list Don't Cry For Me Argentina Man or A Muppet Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair South Pacific Adelveis sound of music🎵🎶
