* "Javert's [[spoiler:Suicide]]". The recitative before the song: [[https://youtu.be/v8XQ913KMtA The man of mercy comes again, then talks of justice!/Our time is running short! Look down, Javert, he's standing in his grave...]]. The callback to "Look Down". The stezza on "justice". Chills. Every time. And as for the actual song... Well, where do you start? "...The world I have known is lost in shadows..." The lyrics, oh the lyrics! Stunning. And the last part... [[spoiler: the way Javert's descent off the railing of the bridge is timed with the held sung-screamed last note will make anyone emotional.]]

Per Example Indentation In Trope Lists, a single bullet at anything other than first level is never correct.


** Not to mention Valjean's belting of "One Day More!" as each part comes together near the end. Then the ''entire cast'' comes together again to sing the final lines in unison. There's a reason it's one of the most famous Act I finales in musical theater.

* Every single note Enjolras sings. He even makes dying at the barricades sound AWESOME.
** Case in point: "Red and Black". "Red! The blood of angry men! Black! The dark of ages past! Red! A world about to dawn! Black! The night that ends at last!"

* "One Day More" vindicates all the earlier, simpler songs in the musical by having them play ''at the same time.'' Why was the melody of "Master of the House" so simple and straightforward? So that it would ''work as counterpoint'' with "I Dreamed a Dream" ''and'' "Look Down"!

** "Morgen Schon", the German translation of "One Day More" on the Viennese cast recording, may be even more gorgeous than any English recording.

* The reprise of "Do You Hear the People Sing" in the 10th Anniversary Concert. [[https://youtu.be/R4924xJl38E Seventeen Valjeans]] singing in their native languages. There's SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic and a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in one. The one in the regular show isn't anything to sneeze at either.
* [[https://youtu.be/ROr4vdRZxpU Stars]] is knock-you-backwards amazing. The staging - perfect! The melody - beautiful! And the lyrics! How anyone can perfectly show all sides of a character as complex as Javert in about three minutes defies description. It takes real talent to show how someone is a submissive servant of justice, a shining-with-self-righteous-zealotry KnightTemplar, a {{Determinator}} hunter of that darn fugitive who keeps slipping through his fingers, and a WellIntentionedExtremist who truly wants to do what's right but just goes way, way too far just through one song. And applause for the brilliantly chosen symbolism and imagery.
* "I Dreamed A Dream". Angst has never sounded so fucking awesome.
* [[https://youtu.be/SFPsEwV38Q0 Master Of The House]] is insanely catchy, funny, is the most cheerful song in the musical despite being a villain song and is just a whole lot of fun.
* "Bring Him Home". Especially if the singer switches to a faint falsetto for the last two notes.
* Every single note Enjolras sings. He even makes dying at the barricades sound AWESOME.
** "Red! The blood of angry men! Black! The dark of ages past! Red! A world about to dawn! Black! The night that ends at last!"
* "Little People". Both the [[https://youtu.be/nSSQ3ml_7oY short version]] and the [[https://youtu.be/CQna-WyNp7c original.]]
* The [[https://youtu.be/GS4pKd7_Cc4 transition]] from the end of 'Waltz of Treachery' into 'Look Down'. The shift in tone of the scene is so incredibly effective and spine-chilling.
* Same with the very short theme playing when Valjean lifts the cart off Monsieur Fauchelevent in 'The Runaway Cart'.
