Top Ten Saddest Musical Moments (Part 1)

{Top Ten Saddest Musical Moments (Part 1)}

WARNING: LOTS of death to insue (but not the gory kind).

So, after watching a bunch of these list things on YouTube, I decided to make my own. Please realize that this is my OWN personal list, and the order and moments vary from person to person. It's okay to express your opinion, just please don't tell me "so-and-so should have been number blah-blah".

Also, I'm basing these off of the actual musical MOMENTS, not necessarily the clips I used.

I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE MOVIES/CLIPS, NOR DID I RECORD ANY OF THE LIVE PERFORMANCES. All of these clips came from my DVDs or YouTube. If anyone sees their recording/clip up here and wants it taken down, PLEASE TELL ME. I'll always do so.

#10-Death of Gavroche (Les Miserables)

#9-Death of Eva (Evita)
#8-Death of Audrey (Little Shop of Horrors {I know people are laughing in the audience, but I still find it terribly sad}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE4_LiKBCkA
#7-For Good (Wicked) {I was actually looking for Elphaba's death (which would have made at least top four), but I couldn't find any clips; but this is still one of the most bittersweet moments on Broadway}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGos_rPFywA
#6-Death of Jesus (Jesus Christ Superstar) {WARNING: This one's pretty extreme. Sorry, if I offend anyone by posting this; it wasn't my intention}

Also, add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL to have some better quality. Most of these clips are ripped from YouTube. And we all know what YouTube does to quality.

For Good has made me cry every time I've seen the show. We sang it as the closing female song of my freshman spring choir concert as a good buy to the seniors.. it made the song even sadder >_<

I think Gavroche's death should be higher than 10... it's so sad...

[Kizuna31]

Omg the new Gavroche death (like I went to see it a week ago new) is so much sadder...you don't actually see him die you just hear him singing and the singing cut off as he gets shot and then Courfeyrac (is that who's always drunk?) falls to his knees with a heart wrenching "NOO!" and breaks into sobs....it horrible T-T

My school did LSOH last year, and our death scene came out really well!!

[LittleMissMaddie1998]

For Good is so emotional for me because I sang it with my friend at her going away party....she lives in Canada now which is insanely far from where I live

The saddest moments of musicals in my opinion -

the deaths of Valjean, Eponine, Fantine, Gavroche, Javert, Enjolras and the students, and the Finale of Les Mis. Phantom when Christine leaves, the Blood Brothers finale, when Buddy Holly's death is announced in The Buddy Holly Story, Noone but you in We Will Rock You, Christine's death in LND, the end of Ghost, For Good in Wicked. . . Ahhh, there's too many!

Just because a play/ musical is mostly one genre doesn't mean it cant have elements of another. Hamlet is a tragedy and yet it has some hilarious moments from the gravediggers, polonius, and even just before hamlets death through osric.

little shop is a comedy, so... Audreys death is supposed to be comic.
