Although it's not a musical, I have to agree with the earlier post saying Only Remembered from War Horse. Every time it started I was close to sobbing and was a mess by the end. Other than that it's the common ones for me: Tell me it's not true, most of Les Mis, most of Miss Saigon, The Letter in Billy Elliot and also the folk song they sing near the start of the second half, You'll never walk alone.

Have you seen the Royal Albert Hall version of Only Remembered? Love those horses. My oh my...! I've just watched this... This piece of music (never mind the wonderful presentation here at the RAH or in a performance of War Horse) makes you stop whatever you are doing. You have to listen to the perfect blend of melody and word. It is so incredibly moving, and sad. I don't think I've ever seen John Tams himself sing this. I have the brilliant, brilliant recording on CD of The Mysteries. And he is excellent on that. Thank you for posting.

Even in concert form 'Make your garden Grow' from Candide reduces me to tears. I love the way it just builds and builds, with such simple pure thoughts

I don't think it's the saddest but I reccently had to sing 'Send in the Clowns' and it really got to me.

You Must Love Me from Evita.
My (long suffering) partner and I were front row at the Dominion in 2014 and my tears were coming down like a waterfall when Madelena Alberto sung this. My bottom lip was wobbling so much that I got jaw and throat ache holding it all in and I dare say I was probably pulling a bit of a gurn with all the effort.
So not only did Madalena give a 5* performance of Evita but she was able to carry on whilst I sat there right in front of her, a watery and semi-convulsing mess. I don't know about her but I was exhausted when the curtain fell!
Oh and Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins, just as a few of you have listed. It had a similar (but slightly less messy) effect on me when I saw this fantastic show at Bristol and Birmingham late 2015/early 2016.

The first time I watched "The Bridges of Madison County" I lost my composure in the final chorus of "One Second and A Million Miles", and proceeded to descend into a snivelling mess for the rest of the show. This may have been acceptable within the theatre (it subsequently was), however this was whilst viewing the Lincoln Center's archive copy in the silent viewing room. Fortunately everyone except the librarian had headphones on and paid little attention. Still it took me a good 10 minutes to compose myself enough to getup and leave.
