Parade
or
[title of show]
I know they're both incredibly different, but which one should I buy?

As much as I love the classic Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sondheim, I'm always looking for really original musicals with a definitive voice and very original music. Just something I've never heard before.
Like Next to Normal and Avenue Q.

Posted: 7/10/11 at 1:05pmHm. I feel like either one would fit that bill. My gut says Parade.

Posted: 7/10/11 at 1:12pmTry to eventually get [TITLE OF SHOW] as well. You'll laugh the entire way through.

PARADE all the way! Jason Robert Brown is one of the best composers working today, and PARADE is a fine score, and a moving show.
Two other cast albums/scores I always recommend to people are William Finn's A NEW BRAIN and the more recent GREY GARDENS by Michael Korie and Scott Frankel. I have the first (of two) cast albums of that one and love it. I always enjoy listening to A NEW BRAIN; a fascinating piece performed by a stellar cast.
