** The way Eva says her last line to the children she never had can be sometimes mournful but painful as well, depending on the choice of the actress. Elaine Paige howls in grief on the West End Recording. Patti LuPone is emotional. Others display weakness as life fades away.

* The ending of "The Waltz for Eva and Che" ("Oh, what I'd give for a hundred years..." etc) can be this, especially considering the fairly lighthearted SnarkToSnarkCombat immediately preceding it. Just the fact that you can ''see'' (or hear) the exact moment Eva realises what's happening to her and that she's not going to be able to accomplish half the things she wanted to. It's no wonder Eva goes straight back to denying her own mortality after this until Peron outright ''tells'' her she's dying.

* 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 VillainProtagonist - it just wasn't that way to the people who loved her.
