I adore "One Day More", it always gives me goosebumps, and I love how it gives every character a section to sing. What a memorable way to close Act 1!

Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof. Gets me EVERY TIME.

[sophiaisabelle]

Broadway performances just give you the chills. The actors on stage are undeniably sophisticated and all the more talented.

[ChibiProwl]

Empty Chairs at Empty Tables and Do You Hear The People Sing? both from Les Miserables are beautifully powerful imo.

"One Day More" is uplifting and exciting, but for me, the song that always gives me goosebumps is "Bring Him Home." I love its quiet but expressive melody, and the words get me every time.

[JNOPC]

I think … What I Did For Love… from the Chorus Line deserves a spot here too.

[magz]

"You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" from South Pacific has a deeply meaningful message that, sadly, still resonates today.

[pattylieber]

"Bring Him Home" from Les Misérables is one of the most powerful and moving songs ever written.

[aalflyguy]

Not even an honorable mention for POTO’s Music of the night??? The absolute definition of beautifully powerful

[peggyknecht]

My college choir did "One Day More" as a flash mob. I love how every character has their own little vignette, and each has its own melody. The actors have to be on their "A game".

[SJ]

“You’ll never walk alone” as an also ran? You must be kidding. It should have been number one, but if not that, could easily have bumped a number of other songs off the list. That is one of the most hauntingly beautiful and uplifting songs every written. Same with “Ol Man River”. Also, I would have included “This is the moment” from Jekyll and Hyde.

[RebelStarbird]

"Tomorrow" from Annie honestly always has a place in my heart

[AdzyThorpe]

I’m shocked that ‘As Long as He Needs Me’ from Oliver isn’t on here. It’s a hauntingly gorgeous song that embodies every experience of someone who refuses to discard love, regardless of the circumstances

[cassandraalls]

“Bring him home” - Les Mis, “Never Enough “ - The Greatest Showman ❤❤❤❤❤

[frankkriger]

IF EVERY I SHOULD LEAVE YOU...esp as sung by Robert Goulet! Absolutely is deserving to be on this list!

[HebbleTyson]

Others may have mentioned it: Ben Platt singing "You Will Be Found" from "Dear Evan Hansen" clearly belongs on this list!

[wendyo]

Elaine Paige, was the only one who could sing Memories, then Susan Boyle came along then there were 2

[witoups]

“I Am What I Am” from La Cage aux Folles, “Not My Father’s Son” from Kinky Boots, “Back to Before” from Ragtime, “Corner of the Sky” from Pippin, and “Stars”, “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables” “On My Own”, “Bring Him Home”, and “Do You Hear the People Sing” all from Les Miserables.

Also, I saw Patti LupPone and Mandy Patinkin in Evita in 1979. Explosive Perfection!

Watching the Tony Awards that year, I paced feverishly about my NYC apartment until Patti won Best Actress. Exultation! The sheer glory of that production!

When you mentioned The Impossible Dream (from Man of La Mancha), I wish you had included Richard Kiley's rendition. He played the original on Broadway. And, IMHO, he was amazing!!!!
