I wanna buy a new CR, can you tell me of a good one?
I already have:
Wicked
Rent
Aida
You're A Good Man Charlie Brown
The Lion King
Brooklyn
Hairspray
Chicago

Yea, I know my collection is pretty small. I live in Oklahoma so I can't go see a show and see if I like the music or not so, I'm going to depend on your decisions.

Taboo, Tick, Tick... BOOM! or The Last Five Years.

Assassins (Revival), Company, Little Shop Of Horrors and Tick Tick Boom (off Broadway) are some of my favorites

Mamma Mia! and The Light in the Piazza

[luvtheEmcee]

Mamma Mia!? Just buy an Abba CD. It probably sounds better.

I definitely was stupid in forgetting Piazza, though. A must-have.

Perhaps something recorded before 1996?

i live in Texas, so I can sympathize with you about that, but your close to OCU, which I'm sure has great productions for you to see.

I recommend: A Little Night Music, Into the Woods, Phantom of the Opera, Company, A Chorus Line and Jesus Christ Superstar. It looks like your collection could use some older stuff!

Les Mis! definitely

[Magdalene]

Posted: 8/17/05 at 3:14pm

Cats
Starlight Express (very underappreciated!)
My Fair Lady
Guys & Dolls (I have both the one with Robert Alda and the one with Nathan Lane)
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum (either cast, they are both good, with some musical gems)
Of course SPAMALOT (for a good laugh!)

Into the Woods (OBC) is a must also. If anything, you can just listen to the entire recording and hear a fun story told by music.
