The Light in the Piazza
About 5 times a day.
I have all four, and actually Dirty Rotten Scoundrels probably gets played the most. I love Piazza and Bee... not so much a fan of Spamalot... but I think it all comes down to what I can have the most fun singing along to. I could never even try to sing Piazza, and since I just got Bee a few nights ago I don't know the words as well as DRS yet. I know that's a lame reason for listening to a CD, but it's true.

I listen to SpamAlot the most, followed in second to DRS because there both just so hysterical. I don't have any interest in seeing Bee, so I didn't buy the album, and I don't have Piazza.

Believe it or not, I've been giving the London Mary Poppins quite a few spins lately to the neglect of the ones being discussed. It's terrific.
Otherwise, the Scoundrels CD.

Spamalot comes in first... followed by Bee. I really don't like the DRS recording, even though I LOVED it in the theatre.
I'm seeing Piazza tonight, and I've held off from listening to the cast recording until then. So I'll let you know if it changes.
Although, I have to admit, for me, the Little Women recording comes above all of the best musical nominees!

I do not enjoy spamalot at all on cd. Piazza on the other hand is a beautiful transfer to cd. Spelling Bee as well, made a wonderful transistion. I've been listening to Bee and Piazza constantly since I got them. DRS I listen to once in a while, but not NEARLY as much as Bee and Piazza.
DRS...i make my friends listen to it too. i think they hate me for it.

I agree, Piazza, Piazza, Piazza. Mine does leave my CD player though... To come into the car with me... And then out into my computer at work (yes, I listen to it at work on repeat, softly and I have to bit my finger sometimes to stop singing softly along, but my coworkers don't mind because if it's soft it's just background music for them), and then back into my car. And then back into my stereo. And then the process repeats. I can't stop! Today I even said, okay, I'm going to finish this go round (you know, listen to all the songs) and then pull it out and give something else a try, but no. Right after Fable I heard the overture start and there I was, right along with it, not taking it out.
But whoever said Little Women, actually, before I got Piazza, that's what I was listening to the most as well. It grew on me very quickly (except for 'The Most Amazing Thing' and that Aunt March number--can I get an ick?) and I was listening to it much more than DRS or Spamalot.

Well, I listen to Spamalot the most although today was devoted pretty much entirely to Spelling Bee and yesterday to Piazza. Although I've seen each of the Best Musical nominees more than once, I just cannot listen to the Scoundrels CD. There's maybe...three songs on it I'll listen to and even that's rare. I just don't enjoy that recording but I think the other three are amazing.
I was split between DRS and Spamalot because they are both funny but now I'm obsessed with Piazza and I refuse to listen to anything else. I honestly can't skip a single song. I worship Adam Guettel for giving me this music.
I don't have Spelling Bee, yet, but I must say that I love Piazza - I think it's one of the best scores to hit Broadway in years. Spamalot and DRS are great, for a laugh, but I definitely listen to Piazza the most.

DRS mostly. The music is good & The performance transfered So well. Spam no so much & stll in rotation Forbidden B'way SVU.
PIAZZA PIAZZA PIAZZA.
I don't really understand how it's hard to sing along to, unless you're having problems with the Italian. If you sing along with anything by Sondheim then Piazza is a breeze.
BB06-I don't understand it either. Piazza is such a joy to listen to and so fun to sing along with. I love the Italian, it's not hard to get used to at all.
Piazza. All day, all night.
I do love Scoundrels, though, so the next time I have a deep hankering to hear Give Them What They Want, I will put it on.
I bought the Spamalot recording when it was released for $11.99 at Tower, and it's been a wasted $11.99, as I have never listened to it and have no desire to start. Oh well.
And I still have yet to get the Bee.
flaem- i agree. i have no desire whatsoever to listen to spamalot lol.
