Based on the Cast Recordings you own...

Posted: 5/15/05 at 10:20pm

what performer appears on the most of them?

for mine the winner is nathan lane with 4 (producers, forum, guys and dolls, the frogs)

and tied for second with 3 each are aiko nakasone (H2$, rent, rocky horror), idina menzel (wicked, the wild party, rent), and gregg edelman (1776, wonderful town, into the woods)

Knowing my tendencies, I'd almost go to say Adam Pascal, but that may only hold true if I add in his solo CD's, since he's only on two cast recordings.

Too much thought required to figure who it *really* is, though.

Mary Martin - my dozens of Peter Pan recordings, then Hello Dolly.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Probably Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal actually. (RENT, YAGMCB, LSoH equity tour recording, Solo CDs; RENT, Aida, Solo CDs)

In leading roles, Bernadette is tops with 4: Gypsy, Into the Woods, Mack & Mabel, and SITPWG. I can think of a few people on three CRs: Hunter Foster (Grease, Little Shop, Urinetown), Raul (Taboo, Rocky Horror, ttB), Nathan Lane (Producers, Guys and Dolls, Frogs), Idina (Wicked, Rent, Wild Party). Several others are on two, I won't list them all.

ETA: If you count ensemble roles, I know Jen Cody is in at least four CRs (Wild Party, Seussical, Taboo, and Urinetown).

Probably Stokes:
Man of La Mancha (2002 Broadway Revival Cast)
The Frogs / Evening Primrose (2001 Studio Cast)
Dreamgirls in Concert (2001 Concert Cast)
Kiss Me, Kate (1999 Broadway Revival Cast)
Do Re Mi (City Center Encores! Cast 1999)
Ragtime: The Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Songs From Ragtime: The Musical (1996 Concept Album)
Kiss Of The Spider Woman: The Musical (1994 Broadway Cast)
Lunch: A Modern Musical Myth (1994 Studio Cast)

Same as buffy, I can think of at least 7 with Bernadette:
Song & Dance
The Goodbye Girl
Sunday In The Park With George
Annie Get Your Gun
Into the Woods
Anyone Can Whistle
Mack & Mabel

What a great topic!!

Counting solo albums would give Adam Pascal 3: Rent, Aida and Civilian. Not counting I realized LOTS of twos but no threes:

Sherie Rene Scott(Aida, DRS), Norbie(Wicked, DRS), Idina(Rent, Wicked), Lea Solanga(Miss Saigon OLC, Les Miz 10th anniv. concert), Joanna Gleason(Into the Woods, DRS), Mandy Patankin(Evita, The Secret Garden).

A lot of mine are movie soundtracks too, that may have something to do with it. Oh well.

If you consider Leonard Bernstein's NY a cast recording, then I have 6 with Donna Murphy - Hello Again, Birds of Paradise, Passion, King & I and Wonderful Town.

I have 4 with Nathan Lane - Guys and Dolls, Forum, Frogs and The Producers.

I have 3 with Bernadette - Sunday in the Park, Into the Woods and Anyone Can Whistle.

I have 3 with Angela Lansbury - Sweeney Todd, Gypsy and Mame.

I have a bunch of perforrmers on 2 recordings, including Gregg Edelman, Mandy Patinkin, Idina Menzel, Kristin, Stokes, Audra, Marin Mazzie, Raul Esparza, Faith Prince etc. etc etc.

I'm trying to get the singers that are on more than three CDS-->

Bernadette Peters (whom I think may be the winner of this) - Sherry, Gypsy, Into the Woods, Mack and Mabel, Sunday in the Park, Goodbye Girl, Annie (I'm counting it) Song and Dance

Nathan Lane - Sherry (yes, I own that), Producers, Frogs, Forum, Guys and Dolls

Sherie Renee Scott - DRS, Aida, Tommy, L5Y, Grease (she's on the CD with Brooke Shields, during "Look at me I'm Sandra Dee." Read the liner notes. The two Brooke-centered tracks were from the cast she was currently performing with, of which Sherie was Marty I believe.)

Alice Ripley - Side Show, Rocky Horror, Tommy, Elegies for Angels Punks and Raging Queens

Hunter Foster - Little Shop, Urinetown, Footloose, Children of Eden, Grease

Jen Cody - Taboo, Seussical, Wild Party, Urinetown (good point...but I'm not even going into all the other ensemble people who have been in EVERYTHING!)

Marc Kudisch - Beauty and the Beast, Bells are Ringing (its sad that I've never listened to that, isnt it?) Millie, The thing about men

Audra McDonald - Dreamgirls concert, Ragtime, Marie Christine, Carousel



I think thats all. I may edit later:) Fun topic.

Hello, Dolly!
I Do! I Do!
Jennie

Oklahoma!
On Your Toes
So Long, 174th Street
