Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks." Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
August. Phantom has lost it's charm over the years. It's still a beautiful show, but it's lacking some of the charm it once had. I've never seen August, but my sister has and she had nothing but wonderful things to say about the show.
I saw Phantom this past summer for the first time, and it had more charm than any musical I've seen yet. I haven't seen Heights or August but have herd nothing but great and wonderful things about both shows.
I would say August. Depending on how often you visit NYC, I think you can see Phantom and Heights some other time.
Broadway Shows I've Seen: Hairspray, Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors (2003), The Wedding Singer, Spamalot, Riverdance, Rent, Beauty and the Beast, Spring Awakening, Wicked, Legally Blonde, Phantom of the Opera, Sweet Charity (revival), Drowsy Chaperone, The Lion King, Dreamgirls(2010 Tour).
August. Hands down. Something like this RARELY comes around. When was the last time a play opened to reviews like these? I saw it in it's original run in Chicago and it is something certainly worth seeing. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
It would have to be August by far. This would be up there with Angels in America and Stoppards The Coast of Utopia as one of those rare nights of theatre and if i had the chance i would not miss it for anything.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Man that is a tough choice. Phantom has NOT lost its charm (Hal Prince would never let that happen), and I always try to encourage people to see the older shows instead of always seeing newer shows....but August is really good, and In the Heights is supposedly terrific......this will really depend on your mood--if youre in the mood for drama, if youre in the mood for comfort food, you know?
From what I have seen/heard of IN THE HEIGHTS, it could be big.
