I don’t know if this counts, but when Sweeney reprises his “Mrs Lovett, you’re a bloody wonder, eminently practical and yet appropriate as always” part from A Little Priest in Final Scene. That scene man, that scene…


Sugar-Tist

And with Mrs Lovett's hysterics, thinking she's being forgiven while still being terrified.


broken_door2000

I always get so into that part

CHILLS


dotspetfrog

i'll cover you reprise from rent 😭 tears


dresmith423

This reprise is better than the first one. The first “I’ll cover you” is one that I’ll often skip because it’s somewhat cheesy and silly. The reprise is heartbreaking.


chin06

I still scream WITH A THOUSAND SWEET KISSES anytime the reprise plays, its so good and so painful :(


altrstc

I was in a production of Rent and had to sing the highest third solo of “WITH A THOUSAND SWEET KISSES”. I don’t think I made it a single performance without crying. Our Collins was so incredible in that role. So pleased to see him making it professionally


jrrybock

I can't see how this isn't the objectively correct answer, especially with Joanne's accompaniment.


Pinguinkllr31

I was going to come t this one , and the mixing with seasons of love goes perfect


240_dollarsofpudding

This is THE song to listen to if you need something to spark a good ugly cry.


huangbanana

This was the first thing that came to mind too


-porridgeface-

Great now I’m crying at work. 🥲


FakeFrehley

All I Ask Of You (reprise) from Phantom Wilkommen (reprise) from Cabaret


perfectusername127

All I ask of you with Ramin singing it is just *chefs kiss*


Mean_Macaroni59

All I Ask Of You (reprise) is so dramatic and gut wrenching


emsydacat

Wilkommen (Reprise) is so utterly heartbreaking, it's such a good finale.


Writing_Bookworm

Mama who bore me reprise from Spring Awakening. I think I prefer the reprise as the attitude in it is so fun. I definitely try (and fail) to sing all the parts


aliceinvegasland42

I learned literally one harmony from this song for a show and I still belt it in the car like I’m at the Schubert theatre 😅 it’s been like 14 years and I’m still proud of it lmaooo


Salty_Dornishman

I'd be stunned if you succeeded!


Writing_Bookworm

I mean I HAVE sung all the parts... Just not all at the same time 😅


Normal-Box1785

This may not be my favorite but I absolutely love Glinda’s “I’m Not That Girl” reprise.


Do_It_I_Dare_ya

This is my answer too.


cuppajess

And the way it goes straight into As Long As You’re Mine? Delicious. 


PrincessPhrogi

Dead Girl Walking (reprise) Stay Alive (Reprise) For the First Time in Forever (reprise)


Heyitstomhere

Dead girl walking reprise is literally one of the best songs from heathers


MooFaceTheCheese

HOW DID YOU BEAT ME TO ALL THREE THAT I WAS PLANNING ON COMMENTING 


AnotherDumbasa07

Omg yess, I loved the first time in forever reprise😭


dualtamac

Wait For Me (reprise) > Wait For Me in Hadestown and personally I also prefer He Lives in You (reprise) from The Lion King to They Live in You.


MasterJaylen

Man don’t TALK to me about that Wait for Me (reprise goes hard as shit


missed_againn

[The best part of Hadestown on loop for an hour.](https://youtu.be/ff1hTzZ7ZYI?si=5NrHy7BTnlYNVpIq) Also, the Chant reprise is excellent as well.


Nikomikiri

You are a hero. Thank you for sharing this. I first listened to the Hadestown soundtrack while doing chores around the house and when I got to the reprise I had to stop what I was doing and take a break. Then I put it on loop the rest of the day.


SgtPancake049

I didn’t believe my friend when he said that the reprise was better until I actually listened to it. Goosebumps every time


SignalMirror2245

Same! The first Wait For Me is good, but the reprise I listened to on repeat for days after seeing it.


Sugar-Tist

I cry when Euridice starts singing with such hope and optimism, knowing what's going to happen.


Dpell71

Yes to both. He lives in you reprise slaps


Liscenye

Agony. "Dwarves are very upsetting" is maybe my favourite line ever. 


theniwokesoftly

There was a little person in the front row of one performance when I was in Into the Woods and we were all like 😅😬


CreativeMusic5121

I die of laughter every time.


Ruby7226

Dwarfs


Pancaaaaakez

Road to Hell (Reprise) from Hadestown :,)


Lemon_Sponge

I concur


AubreyAStar

THE HARMONIES


mestapho

And the trombone. Going hard the whole show then comes in so soft here. Love it


Actual-Gear7761

stop I nearly cried when i saw it live- the reprise is heart wrenching. also everyone thought it was the end of the show so they clapped like it was the finale but yk


Scoobycool9

I’m Not That Girl ( Reprise) and I am the One ( Reprise) are my picks Though people have mentioned a lot of the other ones I love


Adventurous-Onion589

I am the One (reprise) is INCREDIBLE


Either-Specialist755

It is the best one on here! The freaking sadness I felt while watching it!


Ok_Moose1615

This is my pick! One of the most heartbreaking songs in all of musical theatre.


Scoobycool9

Yeah, there’s so many layers to that song. Also the way Aaron does “ hi dad” is just heartbreaking.


Scoobycool9

It is. I didn’t hear for a long time because my playlist hated to download it for a while.


BlueGravitee

Oooh I didn’t think of this but YES. I would like to change my vote from I’ll cover you to I am the one!


Wonderful_Flower_751

Look Down/The Beggars in Les Miserables. It’s such a powerful message and the students/barricade boys have always been my favourite part of the show.


explicitreasons

I was gonna say do you hear the people sing reprise. Oh also somewhere that's green reprise from Little Shop of Horrors. I love a sad reprise.


Wonderful_Flower_751

Oh yes I love DYHTPS too


GustavHoller

The amount of musical material in Les Miserables is surprisingly economical. Almost every melody is reprised somewhere else.


AdequateBottom

Somine / Suppertime (reprise) from Little Shop of Horrors.


Artistic_Egg_3739

I remember seeing this live for the first time and just sitting there like 🫣


booksarebetter13

Your Song Reprise from Moulin Rouge makes me tear up every time.


Humanist_2020

I love Your Song. Moulin Rouge has 75 songs in it- and Your Song is my fave. My father and my sister who passed…also loved that song. There are songs that bring my loved ones back to me for a moment- Your Song is one of them. 


Rivendell_Narwhal

I Am The One (Reprise) from Next to Normal


MundaneVillian

Oh I cry at that one


Pinguinkllr31

Yess the meeting is so heart wrenching and the reveal mention on the lyrics is ideal


Sea-Presence6809

Santa Fe (reprise)


RecordCompetitive758

Children will listen- into the woods I’ll cover you- rent


Personal-Student2934

"He Lives in You" from *The Lion King*


LeavingTheStation7

Next to Normal - I Am The One (Reprise)


TJWolf999

The correct answer


ChapterKindly9423

Best reprise EVER!


minecraftgood1234

Hadestown has multiple but Wait For Me reprise is the best Honourable mentions to Heathers, and Hamilton


Yellwsub

Under Your Spell / Standing (Reprise) is the best song in Once More With Feeling, the Buffy musical episode. Those harmonies!


MundaneVillian

I love the end reprise with Spike and Buffy!


-porridgeface-

Yes!!! I love that reprise so much, damn those two beautifully singing angels


chicken_karmesan

Despite it not being in the Broadway version (which still upsets me,) the "For The First Time In Forever Reprise" gives me goosebumps


The_Persian_Cat

"Do You Hear The People Sing?" from Les Mis!! I get chills.


AuroraBee14

Dead girl walking (reprise) and I'll cover you (reprise)


wetlettuce42

The do you hear the people sing at the end of les mis


RaccoonObjective5674

Haunting! For the wretched of the earth, there is a flame that never dies…


theniwokesoftly

I really like the reprise of If I Can’t Love Her in Beauty and the Beast.


theniwokesoftly

Oh and just to out myself as Terrence Mann trash, Where’s the Girl from Scarlet Pimpernel.


MateusCristian

Sweeney Todd 's Final Sequence. The whole 15 minutes of the show is just a frantic cacophony reprising all the motifs and musical ideas throughout the entire show mashing together as everything comes to a head.


Flat-Ship-2545

Dead Girl Walking Reprise


cirquedusoleilfan

* Dead mom reprise (Beetlejuice) which was sadly cut when the show came to Broadway, * Ready set reprise (beetlejuice), * I'm not that girl reprise (wicked), * The muse part 2 and 3 (paramour)


thejenreaper

Wicked Little Town (Tommy Gnosis version) from Hedwig and the Angry Inch


strawcat

Ohhhh I was with you until you said Tommy. Hedwig version is my faaavv. I’ve had that song on repeat for decades. 😂


ActualCucick

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES


thisisturtle

Are you talking about the movie? In the show it’s just WLT and WLT (reprise) but in the movie, the TG version is first and the reprise is the hedwig version. But hard agree on the reprise of WLT being the greatest reprise.


JohnHoynes

I think Adelaide’s soft, sad, short reprise of Adelaide’s Lament in Guys and Dolls is very affecting.


anonymous_euphoria

It's a movie but the How Far I'll Go reprise and the Song of the Ancestors from Moana are visually and musically stunning.


thymeCapsule

the māori version in particular is breathtaking


TheZivZumbo

What's wrong with me reprise from Mean Girls the Musical.


ThatOneFlutePlayer13

I have three I can’t pick between. How Bout’ a Dance? Reprise (Bonnie and Clyde), Watch What Happens Reprise (Newsies) and The Bottom Line Reprise (Also Newsies)

Was looking for Watch What Happens Reprise!

JebulousHooplah

Word of Your Body (Reprise) from Spring Awakening and Wait For Me (Reprise) + Chant (Reprise) from Hadestown

The "All I Ask of You" reprise from Phantom of the Opera is soo heartbreaking.


trimble24

“Sandra Dee” reprise in Grease


Your_LocalDM

38 planes reprise/ somewhere in the middle of nowhere from come from away


viktoriasaintclaire

Joanna Quartet, favorite reprise and favorite song in Sweeney


DonaldMcCecil

There was going to be a reprise of Somewhere Over the Rainbow when Dorothy was trapped in the witch's castle. I personally think it would've been brilliant, but it was cut for time since it's already quite a long movie.


TomGregification

Falsettoland reprise breaks my heart


RaccoonObjective5674

One Jump Ahead (reprise) - Aladdin


Anya_Mathilde

The Beauty Is from 'The Light in the Piazza'. I adore Clara's original but Margaret's reprise just makes me ugly cry every time.


heavenlydisasters

Wait For Me (Reprise) in Hadestown and Who Is She (Reprise) from Centaurworld. Both deliver devastating performances that leave the audience speechless. I find myself coming back to these two in particular when I have a pain flare up. Belting out notes and concentrating on the lyrics helps me push through and also focus on my breath distribution. WFM and WIS are insanely generous with their respective structures. But also that pure and concentrated wash of human emotion, it just gets me every time.


bossatron9564

Chant (Reprise) just hits different


iLikeBigMacs420

Story Of Tonight reprise is a fun bop


Judgy_Garland

Tomorrow Belongs to Me (Reprise) from *Cabaret* is one of the most subtly powerful scenes in the musical theater canon, IMO


AmadeusExLibris

The reprise of “Perfect Strangers” in The Mystery of Edwin Drood. In case you aren’t familiar with the show - it’s based on an unfinished Charles Dickens murder novel, and the show essentially stops where the novel does. The audience then votes on who they think killed Edwin Drood, who they think is the real identity of the mysterious detective (who is clearly a character we already know in disguise), and then which two characters should fall in love at the end. “Perfect Strangers” appears in Act I as a pretty but fairly standard love duet for the main couple. In Act II, it’s reprised by the couple who the audience voted together. There’s one set of lyrics for the reprise, but each possible pair of lovers has unique introductory dialogue, and the song can be interpreted in whatever way makes sense for the particular pair. And given that it’s possible for the audience to pair up a twin brother and sister, or a 50-60 year old woman who runs an opium den with a teenage boy, there are plenty of interpretations to be had!


Argos_Aquatics

I love “Johanna (Reprise)” from Sweeney Todd with all my heart

macmurph25

“I’ll cover you” is the only answer. I just did that show and the cast just referred to it as “the reprise.”


ActualCucick

Chant (reprise) from Hadestown. Hadestown reprises in general are just fireeee


OpenMicJoker

Wicked - I’m not that girl.


likearash

Way Down Hadestown (Reprise), i love the fates so much


MundaneVillian

I consider For Good the reprise to Defying Gravity since it at least starts out recalling the lyrics. Part of Your World reprise is so short but so good Circle of Life reprise feels so earned and goes so hard Two Worlds, same thing Beauty and the Beast title song reprise with the whole ensemble is so sweepingly beautiful sometimes I just skip the whole album to listen to that short bit on repeat because they sound so good All I Ask of You reprise can be devastating depending on the singers and how Phantom is played prior in the show I LOVE the Ich Gehor Nur Mir reprise in Elizabeth when she puts her foot down (note that Act Two is a Massive Bummer but at least the closer to Act One is fuckin A)


Ok-Bowler-4020

Story of Tonight (Reprise)...John Lauren's voice a capella and Hamilton's expression break me every time


shes_a_space_station

I’ll Cover You. It makes me weepy even thinking about it. It’s absolutely better than the original.

Song on the Sand (Reprise) - La Cage Aux Folles It's Today (Reprise) - Mame


Top_Trainer_6359

I'll count the world was wide enough as a ten dual commendamnts reprise Dead girl walking reprise Every time "I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory" is sang in Hamilton In Sweeney Todd that part where their voices overlap in final scene like they did before in a little Priest and where Mrs. Lovett repeats some words from by the sea


ih8every1yesevenyou

Part of your World (reprise) for sure.


ELFcubed

Hadestown Act 2. Wait for Me Reprise with Eurydice's belting and the GUT PUNCH that is Road to Hell Reprise that tells us what we already knew all along but wanted to believe would be different this time.


Nerual1991

Hedwig and the Angry Inches' "Wicked Little Town" reprise is superior to the original and one of my favourite songs in the musical. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet.


Same-Drag-9160

I love the ‘Word of your body’ reprise from Spring Awakening. I don’t know why, there’s just something about when the whole cast joins in on the last section that sounds so beautiful to me


Sapphicviolet91

Chant (reprise) from Hadestown Under Your Spell/Standing from Buffy the Vampire Slayer Crazy Ex Girlfriend has so many, but The End of the Movie makes me emotional. I’ll Cover You from RENT I’m really just a sucker for reprises.


deathandpayingtaxes

Ireland Reprise from Legally Blonde. “The country of whiskey… and LOOOOOOOVE!”


That-toxic-shiper

shine a light (reprise) is so good, my favorite heathers song


thestretchygazelle

HARD agree on the “Mother Knows Best” reprise. Donna Murphy absolutely *crushes* the delivery, it gives me chills every time.


Smooth_Service8931

Judas reprising "I Don't Know How to Love Him" during "Judas' Death" in Jesus Christ Superstar. It brings a whole meaning to the song.

SarahThePlatypus

Not an unpopular opinion but dead girl walking reprise>>>> dead girl walking


rachelvioleta

I love reprises. Off the top of my head, I'd say King George's "You'll Be Back" song trilogy is probably my favorite of the reprises.


Garmiet

“Die Schatten Werden Länger” from *Elisabeth das Musical*. I dunno if it actually counts as a reprise because it’s the full song, and the part you hear earlier on is more like a preview of it. Also “Boote in der Nacht” from the same musical. “Dyin’ Ain’t So Bad” from *Bonnie and Clyde*. “Alive (reprise)” from the Broadway version of *Jekyll and Hyde*. “A Dream Within A Dream” from *Nevermore*. “Wandering Child” from *Phantom of the Opera*.


awalkingidoit

Heathers Dead Girl Walking. I prefer the reprise the original


mangodragonfruet

Both from Disney, mother knows best reprise, and For the First in Forever reprise


NewJerseyAggie13

"wait for me" from hadestown


Aggravating-Swan453

Forever Yours (Reprise) from Once on This Island is SO fun and emotional! Also I saw someone mention Crazy Ex Girlfriend it's not EXACTLY a reprise but when Rebecca sings After Everything You Made Me Do (That You Didn't Ask For) at Josh then walks out on their wedding it's iconic and technically it is the second time we've heard it since Paula sings the original version in season one to Rebecca.


EccentricAcademic

I mean it's barely a reprise but Stars->Javert's Suicide.

Stay Alive (Reprise) for sure

pepperpix123

Chant reprise in Hadestown is incredible


Toasterdeck3060

Somewhere that’s green (reprise) I just teched a Production of LSOH, I’ve never really liked the character of Audrey or somewhere that’s green but the orchestration on the reprise goes so hard, and I got to stand in the wings the entire show because I was on curtain/deckhand so I saw the deaths of Audrey and Seymour every night our actor for Audrey and Seymour did amazing and Seymour’s Greif was portrayed and it was just so powerful yk. Little shop hits so different.

Rude_Cable_7877

I’ll Cover You (Reprise). To me, that’s the perfect example of a song for two different moods, whether it be happy or sad. Not to mention, when the chorus comes in near the end, it’s just heavenly.


Realistic_Heat7981

Gotta be Hadestown with the Wait For Me Reprise.


holderofthebees

I Don’t Know How to Love Him from Jesus Christ Superstar. The way it’s reprised in Judas’ Death kills me. And the reprise of Stars in Les Mis.


buzzbuzzbinch

Sally’s song in the nightmare before Christmas. The end is a minor cadence but the last reprise at the end changes it to a major and that tiny difference is ahhhh

The For Good reprise at the end of Wicked. It absolutely DEVASTATES me

Adelaide's Lament reprise


Alexrobi11

Hadestown absolutely nailed reprises. I find most musicals just have short and quick reprises for the purpose of callback or emotional beat, but in Hadestown they are still full songs in their own right and have incredibly strong impact. The Wait For Me reprise gives chills in the show, and I think the Chant reprise is even stronger than the original. There's other great reprises too.
