I adore "Unruly Heart", it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, and assures me that I'm not alone.

[lillykennedy]

I cry almost every single time I listen to You Will Be Found. I was bawling like a baby in the theater.

[DanGamingFan]

"Somewhere" never fails to turn me into a sobbing mess. It's one of those rare parts of a play or movie that hits even harder after you know how the show ends.

[schnuder]

Me and the Sky from Come From Away is empowering and inspiring, while also being full of grief and disheartenment.

[seanhorace]

I can think of a few others:
.Louder Than Words from Tick Tick Boom
.Something To Believe In from Newsies: The Musical
.The Best Day from Spongebob Squarepants: The Musical
.If I Can't Love Her from Beauty and the Beast the Musical
.A Million Miles Away from Aladdin The Musical
.Alone in The Universe from Seussical the Musical
.Who I'd Be from Shrek the Musical

[BeanBag]

"For Good" is one of the hardest songs to sing. Not because of technique, but because you have to try your hardest not to cry when it's you or your co-star's last show

[TheWiseGrif]

Come From Away should've been represented in here somewhere...Somewhere In The Middle Of Nowhere, or Finale come to mind as happy cry songs

[佳石まこと]

When I listened "Anthem" and "You matter to me" in the theatre, I was crying. I love these songs.

[papermoontarot]

"Move On" from Sunday in the Park with George always gets me, definitely a happy cry.

[LaLayla]

Finally, a list that includes a song from "Chess!" 😁

[AnneCompanion]

“You Will Be Found” is my number one, gets me choked up every time.

[meganhash]

You Will Be Found will always hold a special place in my heart. I went to an arts high school (for creative writing, which, when you remember the role writing plays in Dear Evan Hansen, is pretty funny ngl), and it's tradition for the graduating seniors in the musical theatre and chorus departments to sing one last song together at graduation. The year I graduated, You Will Be Found was the song they chose.

IM SO GLAD “I’m Here” WAS IN THIS LIST

[A.C.T]

It feels like Mojo forgot their list was supposed to be Top 10 Broadway Songs That Make You Happy Cry less than half the way through and just included songs that make you sad sob and gave surface level explanations of why it could be happy.

[fionnjordan]

You'll never walk alone was sang at my cousin's wedding

[cybergirl]

Even thinking about A Little Fall of Rain from Les Miserables starts me tearing.. 😢

[johnricotta]

Yes "You Will Be Found" is a lie of a song but man when you see it on stage it gets you emotional.

[jessicamarshall]

“Slipping Through My Fingers” always makes me cry.

[dannysimion]

Excellent list and a lot of great classics on this list. For me, Ben Platt and company singing to You Will Be Found, always pulls at my heart strings in a really good way! Soundtrack of my modern broadway. Runner up to Wicked's For Good as well.

Not sure why but I started sobbing when You’ll Never Walk Alone played!
