This is a place where you could post your faovrite cast recordings and why. Give plenty of details, this way people interested in buying a new cast album, they canc ahck this board. You may also include your interest in what made this cd appeal to you...art work..word of mouth....etc. :)
My favorite is WICKED because it comes across very well to disc, it's very clear, it is pleasing, and I can lsiten to it over and over and it doesn't grow old.

Posted: 7/5/05 at 12:44pmRENT because I love the OBC recording, I love the entire cast and I think that it is always exciting and upbeat, and has an amazing story behind it.

Posted: 7/5/05 at 12:53pmHmmm... I think that Into the Woods is my favorite recording. I've never seen the show, but I feel like every emotion and every plot point is very clear and very entertaining on the recording and, therefore, I do feel like I've seen it. Plus, the performances of "Agony" (both) and "Moments in the Woods" are total gems.

Posted: 7/5/05 at 1:04pmThe Last 5 Years because the music is beautiful, Sherie and Norbert are wonderful, and I never get tired of it. Also, its harder for me to skip songs on this CD than any of my other CDs.

RENT is by far the one I never, ever get tired of.
PIPPIN, because I think it's an amazing score and I enjoy singing along.
The odd one here...I thoroughly enjoy listening to CATS. For some reason, it's just darn catchy.

Posted: 7/5/05 at 3:01pmRENT - becuase of the energy, story behind making the show, the cast, and the show itself, the lessons you can learn from it, and the good music.

Posted: 7/5/05 at 3:02pmWicked is great because you can listen to the music OVER and OVER (for me it's almost been a year). Right now I'm liking Funny Girl. I actually like 'I Want To Be See With You'.

Rent, just because. 
I also love The Last Five Years!! One can listen to that CD at any point of time. When your life sucks, when your life is awesome, when love sucks (ugh), when love is awesome...there is a song for every emotion on that recording.

god, i detest that one
"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous
