I dreamed a dream

[Gloryloroliesjo]

Definitely has to be one of the most beautiful songs in any West End Show! I have watched Les Mis over thirty years and my Mum adored Les Mis and we had ‘I dreamed a dream’ at her funeral.
Does anyone else have favourite west end songs that reduce them to tears ?

Somewhere, from West Side Story. Oh my oh my ohmy.🥹🥹🥹🥹

Les Mis is my favourite for sad songs but Memory from cats is a winner too

Say it isn’t true from blood brothers makes me cry!

I generally am not a fan of musicals but the last few songs of Hamilton, after Philip Jr dies, reduce me to an ugly sobbing mess every single time.

Another vote for Somewhere.

Also the whole of Chess. Last time I saw it I nearly dehydrated. It’s a glorious joy of a thing from start to finish.

Also sunrise sunset from fiddler, agree that one from Hamilton and bizarrely the song at the end of six!

Tell Me On A Sunday 😥
Another Suitcase in Another Hall
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables

Take That Look Off Your Face.
Oh my days, it gets to me every time.

Wouldn't say l cry but l love Conskder Yourself from Oliver! Just how the boys and Fagin accept him into their clan! Oh and Be Back Soon especially sung by Ron Moody

On my own from Les Mis...the ultimate song about unrequited love.
Bring him home from Les Mis.
Stars from Les Mis.
One day more from Les Mis...just makes me cry as so good.
I can't remember the name of the song but it's when Eponine is dying in Les Mis and her and Marius sing to each other.

Can you see the theme here?!

And You will be found from Dear Evan Hanson .

God I LOVE a good musical!

Sabbath Prayer from Fiddler on the Roof always gets me, and Far from the Home I Love.

Aah thank you. . Shall google‘somewhere’ Absolutely love musicalsXx
Sorry I think I commented on wrong post 🤦‍♀️

a little drop of rain. Will hardly hurt me now.

When I grow up from Matilda always makes me emotional

Yeah Susan Boyle is class!

High flying adored from Evita. Which, I heard Tim Rice say, is one of his favourites of all the songs he’s written.

There are some corkers in Rent too but I’m too tired to remember names. God it’s depressing and beautiful.

She used to be mine, from Waitress.
It doesn't make me cry but by god, I relate to every single word of it.

Bring him home is my fave
