C is for Company:
Ragtime OCR.

There is a soundtrack to a movie version written by Randy Newman. I have this and it is very good, when I bought it I listened to it 3 times through while driving.

Then, the OBCR, with Marin Mazzie. 1998
(I think this has the full statue)
And the Concept album with Marin Mazzie 1996.
(I think this just has the raised arm with the torch)( I have not heard this one)

Never The Light in the Piazza. Talk about trite and boring. I'd go with The Secret Garden.

I just choked on my lemonade..."trite and boring"? Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, I just can't see how it could ever, ever be boring, of all things.

My top 10:

Carousel
Porgy And Bess
A Little Night Music
West Side Story
Candide
Sunday In The Park With George
Finian's Rainbow
The Most Happy Fella
Camelot
She Loves Me

And for anyone who wrote Wicked or The Last Five Years, you need to hear more shows!

^I beg to differ, at least for the wicked one :) haha. Just because its become kind of cliche to like wicked doesn't mean its not gorgeous. Cause it absolutely is. Especially dancing through life and defying gravity and stuff. A LOT of what makes that scene so powerful is the score. Actually.. I'm adding that to my list. haha

She Loves Me is, to my mind, the most extraordinary score in the musical theatre; other notables include

Candide

The Music Man

Fiddler on the Roof (The duet between Golde and Tevye ("Do You Love Me?" is one of the most touching moments I've ever seen)

On the Twentieth Century has a beauty of its own, too...

Shinbone Alley is pretty tops as well.

The Light in the Piazza, obviously!

Light in the Piazza and Ragtime.

Neither is my all time favorite score, but both are pretty high on the list and both are what I would consider beautiful scores. Most scores that I love have beautiful songs, but the entire score is not "beautiful". Gorgegous, but not beautiful. I think there's a difference. Does that make sense?
