Does anyone have broadway karaoke cd's they really like? or have a large collection. I Have...
Little shop of horrors - good quality but bad background vocals
The Rocky Horror Picture Show SING IT! great quality..actual orchestrations from the movie and background vocals from the movie
The Boy from Oz - Great to sing along to
Phantom of the opera - Great quality
Wicked (stage stars) - not very good.. you can hear the instruments messing up at times and the singers are bad
Wicked (pockets songs) - much better quality
Rent (stage stars) - very good quality and a lot of fun although lacking alot of songs

I have the Rocky Horror SING IT one, I like it. I also have Avenue Q..I lost the box it came in so I dunno what it's by, but it's really good. The orchestrations are a little cartoony, but it's really good to sing to.

Random-- has anyone else listened to the 'example' cast for the Rent karaoke? Some of them are actually very good ie Roger/ Mimi/ Angel.

Broadway Karaoke, in my experience, is bad about 90% of the time.

I got the Chicago musical recording and it was SO disapointed!!!

The only really good one I have heard is Pippin, Jason Robert Brown (For the Most Part), The Rocky Horror Show and West Side Story (Which is the BEST Karaoke I have ever heard) - most of the old shows (Oklahoma, Camelot) sound very fake and "Midi-cized".

I will need to find some of the other good ones you have mentioned and take a listen.

It really depends on what kind of brand..i mean the stage stars wicked is terrible but the pocket songs one is amazing, but then the stage stars rent is really good....bying karaoke is a gamble...
