in theater this is known as the 11:00 song. the song late in the 2nd act (usually within half an hour of the end) that is a key moment for the protagonist and the absolute emotional show-stopper of the night. another example would be Send In the Clowns from "A Little Night Music."
when i first listened to the Hamilton soundtrack a few years ago and heard Quiet Uptown I went, oh, that must be the 11:00 song.
