Definitely Phantom, back in the 80's. We listened to those CDs over and over and over. Later in the 90's, A Chorus Line (after seeing a high school production) and My Fair Lady (after seeing the movie)

Best Musical Soundtracks ?

Come From Away is particularly good for a new-to-you show because you can really follow the story from the songs and the included dialogue. Plus, it's awesome AF. Unless you're driving, in which case I hope you can drive and cry at the same time.

And that deep speaking voice goes right through my soul, in all the best ways.
Can't wait for my CD to arrive!

Just like I never watched the movies for “The Lion King”, “Phantom of the Opera”, “Dirty Dancing”, “The Bridges of Madison County”, “Cabaret”, “The School of Rock”, and “Waitress” before I saw those shows."

I placed my order on BR's site. They were very good about handling the error where I accidentally ordered 12 copies. This is the first time I have dealt with them, and it's been great so far. If the disc comes a week early, I ain't complaining. 
Re the comment about not needing a new recording of MFL to love the music: That's true. The Harrison/Andrews records are divine. But it's also nice to hear a new approach and to support the current productions. I can't go to NY to see the show at this time, but I can at least buy the album. (I will do the same for Carousel when it's released in July.)

Unpopular Opinions

Possible that this is a commonly-held opinion, but:
I adore Sierra Boggess and pretty much everything she's done. But per her live album, which I recently streamed for the first time, I have to say I don't think she's as good an opera singer as she believes she is.

Kudos to BR's customer service. They replied quickly and canceled the oversized order.
I am really looking forward to this album.

LOL you should. It was a stupid mistake.
The $12.99 is the same price as amazon. When the numbers are close like that I prefer to order direct.

I just placed an order on BR's website, and it somehow ended up ordering 12 instead of 1 copy. (I blame my address autofill)
I noticed it right when I hit submit. Uggggh! Hopefully someone reads the emails to the "contact us" screen or the private messages on the FB page.
