I shed a tear on two separate occasions during Of Mice And Men the other night. What gets you?

My worst ones are War Horse and Goodnight Mister Tom- absolute wreck!

Thriller makes me cry but I sense that's not what you were getting at. 

I welled up at Up Down Man - it had a small national tour and recently got revived in Bristol. one of the few times 'not a dry eye in the house' was actually accurate.

I also shed a tear when I remember that Thriller is still inflicting itself upon audiences.

 

There's a few Fringe productions where I've been hoping the lights won't go up yet because my face is absolutely SOAKING.

War Horse definitely got me, ditto [spoiler] in the second half of Hamilton. And Everybody's Talking About Jamie is a lovely collective feel-good tear-jerker.

The end of Sierra Boggess' aria in the original London production of Love Never Dies ripped my heart out.

I had a really hard time getting through NEXT TO NORMAL and thought it was one of the most heartbreaking shows I've ever seen. I could feel all of the character's pain.
