Posted: 12/25/05 at 9:26pmThe Rent film vocal selections book has two songs not in the broadway selections book(Light My Candle and Love Heals).Light My Candle was worth getting the film selections for me because that is my favorite song in RENT.As I said, I love the pictures from the movie too.

Posted: 12/25/05 at 9:32pmI got the Grimmerie, the Playbill Yearbook, and ( a while ago) Wicked tickets for Tuesday in DC. My parents said they gave me an Audrey Hepburn DVD collection because I love Broadway, though I don't totally understand that collection, though I do love Audrey Hepburn. :]

Spamalot
Merchandise:

And to top it all off, my uncle suprised me with an ipod that has turned into my Broadway showtunes headquarter. I have 444 songs on it, all showtunes. I am actually listening to The Full Monty recording as I type (Big Black Man to be exact).

For me it was:
BOOKS: -101 Greasted Broadway Musicals by Ken Bloom (One could quibble with some of the choices...DO RE ME?...but the hundreds of colour phots are wonderful!); & Ethel Merman : The Biggest Star on Broadway
CD's: -Sondheim Sings; BRIGADOON (Shirley Jones, Jack Cassidy); THE STUDENT PRINCE (Dorothy Kirsten,Robert Rounsville); EVITA (1978 London cast); GODSPELL (Barrett Foa cast)
DVD: Barbara Cook sings Sondheim; Broadway's Lost Treasture III
As usual my family was wonderful and we had a fantastic Christmas. Most important for us is the chance to get together.
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
