Of the cast recordings you've bought over the last year, which do you feel were the best choices?
I got a ridiculous array of iTunes gift cards for Christmas, so I bought nine cast recordings... not all of which I feel were necessarily a great usage of my money. But I'm so happy that I got the OBCRs for Ragtime, Light in the Piazza, and Evita. (Yeah, odd combination, I know.)

Once its released, I know the answer will be Next To Normal, but besides that...
Definitely Bat Boy and Songs For A New World. Not sure how it took me so long to get those two, but I adore them both.

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

My most recent cast recording is the Marvelous Wonderettes. I enjoy it so much. According to me amazon.com account I've only bought two for myself in the past year. Marvelous Wonderettes and A Catered Affair. Gosh, is that it? I've bought others for my sister. I, also, bought Natalie Toro's solo album which rocks.
Paul Byrom's solo album has some Broadway stuff on it and that was a great purchase as well.

Also very happy with Jason Danieley's solo album and my purchases of older cast recordings such as High Fidelity and Billy Elliot

I'm gladdest I've boughten Passing Strange and LuponeGypsy and can't pick one over the other because they are so different and can't beevaluated for which one is more better.
Also they are the onlycast recordings I've boughten in a year.

Posted: 4/3/09 at 10:05amMy grammar may stink, but I've never said 'boughten' in my life. That's my sister's job. I swear it's her favorite word.
