As far as music goes, Wicked is fabulous. Les Miserables is one of my favorites too.

The music from Barnum is pretty catchy and fun.


Guys & Dolls - Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat
Les Mis - Master of the House/ Do You Hear The People Sing?


Yeah, I'm more of an indie/pop-rock guy, so I base this off of things I've dabbled on.

Les Mis, Miss Saigon, and RENT are good if you're just getting into things. Wicked was how I got into modern theatre (these days I'm not much for it)...you love the actors/actresses and you look into their other work and it grows from there.

Just have to say that a soundtrack goes with a movie. The Wicked cd would be a recording.
That being said.
Les Miserables, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, A Chorus Line, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Sweeney Todd, The Drowsy Chaperone, Spamalot, Into the Woods, South Pacific, Applause, Evita, Man of La Mancha, The Last 5 Years, Urinetown
To name a few of my favorites.

Many cd's wouldn't make much sense without seeing the show but none the less make for a wonderful listening experience. Such as The Drowsy Chaperone, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Rent. The Drowsy Chaperone being my personal favorite!
