South Pacifc

Sum, it is my all time, world's favourite, best ever, American Idol winning, grand slam, knockout, funniest, worst line from a musical ever.
I crack a smile every time he says it. And yes, I am making fun of it. It is absolutely hideous, and I'm surprised less people have it as their signature.
MFL: Ditto on the Mame. I should have my theatre card taken away.

*Sweeny Todd (but I'm getting the OBC for my b-day =))
*Follies
*City of Angels
*Guys and Dolls (OBC)
*Little Me

Cast Albums I never heard/bothered to listen to samples:
*South Pacific
*Oklahoma
*Carousel
*Hello Dolly
*Big River
*The Wiz
*Girl Crazy
*The Pajama Game
and so much more *hides from the theater geek police in fear*
EDIT: I recently borrowed the Meerily We Roll Along OBC recording from my local library. It kicks arse.

Posted: 5/22/05 at 8:30pmoh Truffle, don't be scared of the theatre Nazis. If they come for you, just throw copies of Wicked and RENT at them. They'll scuttle back to the dark ages then.

Posted: 5/22/05 at 8:33pmXDXDXD I'd imagine that would be painful. I'm somewhat of a theater nazu myself, but not really.

Posted: 5/22/05 at 8:34pmOh GirlforTartaglia, you must get Aida. It's super. And the concept album version is ace too (if only for the Boyz II Men version of 'Not Me').

I actually don't have a single recording of Gypsy (except the karoke for "If Mama Was Married")
If THAT'S not shameful, I don't know what is

Well, I don't *own* a lot of CDs, but I'll list shows I haven't seen, or heard the entire score of:
-Follies
-A Little Night Music
-Mame
-Porgy and Bess
I should be boiled in my own pudding, I know.

jczelyph, my avatar is currently that of Miss Jennifer Holliday, the original Effie Melody White in Dreamgirls and one of my all time favourite Broadway stars

broadwaystar2b-Yes, you are an horrible person to the theater community and society...hide from the theater police while you can (that was sarcasm, btw). I purchased the Gypsy (OBC) recording a few months back. Tis truly awesome. Since I saw a B'way production w/ Bernadette, I'm thinking of buying that recording as well.
Elizabeth-Thank you for reminding me. I have yet to hear A Little Night Music

Posted: 5/22/05 at 8:46pmHoly Mercy is that her??? Goddess! Mind you, she doesn't look black. Isn't she black? She just looks slightly too foundationed. Like a drag queen. She seemed darker skinned when I saw her on some DVD. Oh god, I can't believe I just disrespected Jennifer Holliday by likening her to a drag queen.

I also don't own any Sondheim CDs, which makes me feel really ashamed

Posted: 5/22/05 at 10:17pm"I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore." While I miss the smooth skin, the lack of dark spots on my face and hands and my 30inch waist...I don't miss the "being embarassed."
#23re: CD's You're Embarrassed You Don't Own
Posted: 5/22/05 at 10:55pmI guess I'm embarrassed not to own the sweeney todd OBC, but in my defense I just like the concert CD better... :-/
