Last month I got my first car for christmas, and i decided that the first Cd that i would listen to in my car would be , ypu you guessed it"RAGTIME" well, Ragtime is just not good driving music, and I said "well what is a good show to drive to?" Well after looking and giving a few a try, i realized that "Thoroughly Modern Millie" is so much fun to drive to!

What other shows make good diving music?

I was listening to Amour when I got in a huge car accident that caused me not to be able to go to Light in the Piazza at the Ahmanson that night.
I still listen to Amour when I drive.
It's tinkly.

Although I am not yet a licensed driver, when my sister and I would go somewhere, we would always blast some showtunes in her car. I find that anything that has some songs that you can belt to are fun. In that spirit, I find that shows like Wicked, RENT, Hairspray, Beauty and the Beast, A Chorus Line, Dreamgirls, Mamma Mia!, The Lion King, even Phantom of the Opera can be great driving tunes. But then again, I listen to showtunes whenever possible, so anything will really work for me.

Company is a great driving showtune.

The london revival recording of Evita, what with it's awesome latin beats and rhythms, is awesome driving music. Who wouldn't perk up at hearing Roger's "Buenos Aires" ?

Avenue Q is, IMO, the best road-trip music. Those that know it sing along, and those that don't get a good laugh.

spring awakening, definitely! as well as jersey boys and songs for a new world are great driving tunes. =)

Spring Awakening is nice and mellow, especially when stuck in traffic.

Today I listened to "The Witches of Eastwick" on my way to an audition - PERFECT!
On the way back I was satisfied with how it went, and put on "Marie Christine" - they were the absolute perfect combination.

I always say lots and lots of LaChiusa, though

Seussical, Les Mis/Miss Saigon when it's a long drive, and Ragtime!!!!

Spring Awakening is so much fun to listen to while driving.
Especially blasting "Totally F*cked" while you're driving down the highway.

For me, Chicago is also really fun to listen to, as well as Evita (London Revival) and A Chorus Line.

Hairspray
Jersey Boys (especially Walk Like a Man, Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry, Who Loves You)
The Wedding Singer

THE best song to listen to while driving if you are in a rush is the overture to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Other than that, mostly what other people have said: Jersey Boys and Spring Awakening.

Posted: 1/28/07 at 12:21am

DRS and Dreamgirls. My favorite of all time is probably Rent, especially "What You Own."

The CD in my car at the moment has the following on it:
Various Adam Pascal solo songs
Aida CR
Cabaret CR
Tarzan CR
Chess Benefit Concert
The Producers movie soundtrack
Something else that I can't remember at the moment.

I really need to burn a new CD and spice it up a bit.

Jersey Boys and The Pajama Game are by far the best to drive to
