- The long opening sequence of Evita ("Requiem for Evita"). I've seen it onstage in two different productions, and also the film version (which just makes it worse by intercutting it with a flashback to the funeral of Eva's father), and never failed to weep a bit. Particularly impressive since Eva/Evita can be seen as almost a Villain Protagonist - it just wasn't that way to the people who loved her.
- The entire last quarter of the show, for this troper. Combination sad music + sad lyrics + basically her dying.
- "Eva's Last Broadcast" is what does it for me.
- The film version of "You Must Love Me" is another heart-wrecher especially as we see how her relationship with Peron has evolved. He honestly loves her for her and not what she could do for his career, and she feels the same way.
- "Another Suitcase In Another Hall" It was pretty much a Big Lipped Alligator Moment, but that girl just seems so tragic.
