It is my Sisters Birthday and I need to get her a present. I always get her a Broadway CD but this year, we have run out of CD's. We have Spelling Bee, and Guys and doll, DRS, Wicked, HEllo Dolly, Joseph, Cats, Sweet Charity...She has all of them. There are a few she doesn't like Annie and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Are there any other ones??? By the way she is 10.

When I was a little girl I LOVED "Chicago" and "Kiss Me, Kate" - my mother would play the records and I ADORED them. "Too Darn Hot" still makes me feel like a little kid.

I also think "Bye Bye Birdie" is an excellent choice.

And if you aren't adverse to it, my 5 year old cousin knows EVERY WORD to the "Mamma Mia" cast recording, she loves dancing around to it.

Thank You Guys, like I said she has most of them, I'm gonna look into Bye Bye Birdie, Barnum, Captain Louie, and Kiss Me Kate, other than that she has all of those!

Haha, don't look for Captain Louise, because you won't find anything. It's CAPTAIN LOUIE.

I'd also recommend:
Little Women
The Secret Garden
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

My all time favorite cast recording when I little was Once on this Island...I wore out two cassettes!

I'd also put in another vote for Kiss Me Kate.

Also, you gotta put ANNIE in there...It was favorite when I was little!

Beauty and the Beast is great for little girls (big ones too), how old is she?

The little girl I babysit is ten and she loves it when I play broadway in the car on her way to her dance lessons. Her favorites are Wicked, Beauty and the Beast, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Phantom, Hairspray and Chicago.

Avenue Q?!

Erm...for a ten year old...I think not.

i second ONCE ON THIS ISLAND
i also second THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE

both of them are fun listens! she might really enjoy Sutton Foster on MILLIE (if you don't already have it)

I strongly agree with the people who said Seacret garden. I was about ten when it came out and my uncle bought me the casette(and tickets) for Christmas and it was my favorite.

Another idea that hasn't been mentiond yet though is The Wiz

I agree with Once on this Island. Great show.

Some of my favorites when I was little: Annie get your Gun, Camelot, Sound of Music, Oklahoma, and Fiddler on the Roof.

^^^ i second FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, it has such a great score, and made me wish i was jewish. i was hooked to that show for years
then WICKED came along...

I bought my niece tons of CD's when she was at and around that age. She loved AIDA, Beauty and the Beast, Saturday Night Fever, Mamma Mia!, Guys and Dolls, and My Fair Lady.

I think Chitty would be great for a 10-year-old. Mary Poppins, too, but I would get the good old movie soundtrack.
