"They're singing, "Happy Birthday"
You just wanna lay down and cry
Not just another birthday, it's 30/90
Why can't you stay 29
Hell, you still feel like you're 22
Turn 30 in 1990
Bang! You're dead, what can you do?"

Some that I cannot believe that i forgot (damn my Teflon-coated brain!)
Wicked (sorry to some of you, but I like it)
Liars & Legends (anyone know if there is a full recording of this? I've heard the tape that comes with the perusal copy and I would love to find the whole thing)
City of Angels
Finnian's Rainbow
Grand Hotel
The Rocky Horror Show (How COULD I have forgotten this oen?)
Starlight Express
Cabaret
Jesus Christ Superstar
On a side note- movie soundtracks I bought imeediately after seeing the film for the first time- Brain Candy, Dracula 2000, Willy Wonka.
Yep, I'm officially a wierdo. But then I knwo that. ANyone who reads Medes at age 11 and is still obsessed with playing the title role 20 years later has to be a little bent....

Rent - grabbed the cd in new orleans and fell in love
Hair - the first musical I ever heard. My parents had it on vinyl and I would play it on my cousin's strawberry shortcake record player. Then I bought the OBC cd and I finally saw it last month at my university.
Ragtime - saw it on Rosie, fell in love and almost died in the mezzanine of the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis when I saw it in 9th grade
Songs for a New World - heard Audra's "stars and the moon" rendition and bought the original cast cd.
Last Five Years - downloaded a song by mistake when looking for songs from songs for a new world, thought for a year that it was part of it just not on the cd... then came to my senses and sought out the truth. I was highly impressed.

I guess I'm showing my age here, but only a few shows I knew IMMEDIATELY...: A Chorus Line, Sweeney Todd, The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Rent. All for different reasons, but I'll share one... A Chorus Line was the first show I saw where I could relate to every single minute of the show (and I'm not an actor or dancer) and it actually got me to come out to my parents.
