Your use of the word "soundtrack" will scare away all broadway fans on this site...

yeah don't say soundtrack. It's a CAST ALBUM.
Try Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (amahzing overture), Spamalot (Sara Ramirez is awesome), or the Sweeney Todd revival

The Sweeney revival is great.

You didn't change it though. A score typically refers to just the music and not the lyrics.

The all covering term is cast recording.

No stage musical can ever have a soundtrack because that would indicate that there is vocal track that isn't live.

To answer your original question:

25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
The Light in the Piazza
Sweeney Todd

Those are all must owns.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, See What I Wanna See and The Color Purple all deserve mentions.

In My Life would be another great one, but I don't think a recording is happen. Hopefully, our good buddy bryan will be around soon to update us on that. It has been a week or so.

Sweeney Revival recording is AMAZING.

I thought you had to say his name three times while writing his name on the bathroom mirror in lipstick before he was officially summoned.

ETA: Apparently I was wrong. Guess who just PMed me? And no...I am not kidding. Updated On: 5/5/06 at 11:31 PM

In My Life has an OK recording.

The cast isn't very good - save for David Turner.

Lyrics are different. No skeleton lyric in Secrets
PERFECT FOR AN OPERA is also a bit different.

BUT - there is Vera's Rap and an organ version of Secrets.

I think the general consensus is Sweeney(revival)
I still enjoy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
And right now I am Alternating my 33rpm recording of the original Pajama Game w the cd revival. Interesting contrasts.
