Add me to the Orfeh list and the sooner the better. I know she has concrete plans to make a solo album at long last this year and nothing better get in the way of that happening.

Orfeh, definitely.

Andy Karl is a singer/songwriter so I would love to see an album from him with his own work on it.

Kate Shindle has an old, old solo album, but something newer would be great. I honestly could listen to her sing the alphabet.

Sierra is another great vocalist, and I would love to hear her sing some upbeat numbers.

And I would love the Broadway Boys to come out with a solo album if that counts. There is SO much talent in that group.

Kelli O'Hara's solo album is coming out soon!!!

http://www.theatermania.com/content/news.cfm/story/12186

"On January 26, O'Hara will perform a solo concert as part of Lincoln Center's American Songbook series -- and it promises to be a very eclectic affair. "I'm trying to have it coincide with the release of my album on Ghostlight Records -- even though I recorded it for Sony over a year ago. Harry Connick, Jr. [O'Hara's Pajama Game co-star] did all the arrangements. It's very mellow, with a casual jazz feel to it." While O'Hara is still putting the songlist together, she has made some definite selections. "I'm going to do a couple of Harry's songs, a song written by Greg called 'The Sun Went Out,' and a song I wrote called 'Here Now," she says. "I'll definitely do some standards, perhaps something from Pajama Game, and definitely something from Ricky Ian Gordon. I may also do this arrangement of 'Fable' from The Light in the Piazza that Harry did for the album --even though Adam Guettel may hate it. It's a version of how I think Clara heard the song -- as a lullaby sung by her mother. I think it's very interesting."

But I want them all to do a Broadway album. I don't listen to any of the non-Broadway albums Broadway actors have come up with because I've hated a lot of them.

I really wish Sara Ramirez' album was more of a Broadway album rather than new songs, especially since I don't care for Idle and DuPrez (as much as I love "Diva's Lament," though that has more to do with Ramirez' take on it than the song itself). Imagine how great it would have been getting an album with the composers from shows Ramirez has been in in the past (I'm thinking of Sondheim, would love to hear her rendition of "The Miller's Son.")
