'''Desi''', ''[[Passing Strange]]'' }}

 

== [[Beauty and The Beast]] ==

* The song "No Matter What" from the [[Beauty and The Beast]] musical.

'''Both''': ''You're all I've got no matter what...'' }}

** And the transformation at the end, where Belle thinks the Beast is dead, and he transforms back into his human form. The special effects also make it a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

* At the end, when Red Riding Hood and Jack ask the Baker if they can come live with him now, he tells them no. The two children both look upset, until the Baker finally gives in and says, "''Yes!'' Yes, of course you can live with me!"

* The Baker and the Baker's Wife's duet of "It Takes Two", where the Baker's Wife has realized that her husband ''can'' change, and the Baker realizes he needs his wife more than he ever knew.

 

 

* The entire conclusion to ''Coram Boy.'' In the play, Aaron is finally united with {{spoiler|Alex and Melissa, his parents -- although Alex had just learned of his existence recently and Melissa had believed him to be long dead.}} Also, never mind {{spoiler|Meshak, who has had a crap existence (beaten mercilessly by his father in his childhood and forced to help him bury dead babies his father has told desperate mothers he is taking to the Coram Hospital in London in order to extort money from them), finally dies saving Aaron, his "angel child".}} Sure, it's not how the book ends, but if you honestly care after sitting in that theatre for two and a half hours and aren't in tears... I feel sorry for you.

* Basically the entire ending of ''Equivocation'', but especially Judith's monologue about her father's death, and ''especially'' especially her [[Meaningful Echo]] of her father's comment about "stories that little girls tell to themselves when they think no one is listening."

* The ending of Karel Capek's ''[[R.U.R.|RUR]]''. "Life will not perish!"

* The end of [[Tom Stoppard]]'s ''Rock N Roll'', when Jan, about to leave England for what is probably the last time, finally gets up the courage to ask out Esme.

'''Esme''': Of course. Yes. Of course. }}

* A rather sad example of heartwarming: the end of Francis Poulenc's opera ''Dialogues of the Carmelites''. The nuns are being led to the guillotine, and are being executed one by one. Sister Constance, the youngest of the nuns and last in line, is soon left alone, and it is her turn. Just then, Sister Blanche appears out of the crowd and walks to the scaffold, meaning that Constance and Blanche will die together, just as Constance had fervently hoped.
