Little Shop of Horrors. I fell in love with broadway with this soundtrack and started listening to more cast recordings and within a year my collection grew to 30 cd's.

Will Rogers Follies in 1992. I had just seen the tour in SF and was enchanted with the entire show, from sets to cast. It was this CD that led me to the City of Angels (the Dee Hoty connections)cast recording, which is still my favorite CD. The kids I was a nanny for then grew up singing along to that CD every morning on the way to school. They are now 13 and 15 and still absolutely love that CD!

Phantom of the opeara, I was 4. I got the cd cuz my parents took me to the show. I loved it untill I saw it and was scared of the phantom poster in my dads room thinking it was calling me. I then reilized later in life how great the show is and that the poster wont try to marry me or sing to me.

The first I ever received was Les Miserables London Cast for Christmas 1987. But the first I ever bought with my own money was probably either Phantom of the Opera or Evita. I don't remember. I was just being introduced to the intoxicating, yet confusing and quite volatile world of musical theatre.

With my own money, it was PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I grew up in a house filled with cast recordings though, so there weren't too many I didn't already have.

I'm with timote316 - the revival of Guys and Dolls with Lane and Prince and Peter Gallagher. PBS had a special on the recording of this show and I was fascinated and just HAD to have the "soundtrack" (yes, I called it a soundtrack back then). I got it for Xmas. I remember thinking Peter Gallagher was hot and from that point forward, whenever I saw him in anything, I would think of him from Guys and Dolls even though I never saw the show. And that is one, of many, reasons I love PBS.
I think it's funny my friends are only discovering Peter Gallagher now, some 13 years later, b/c of The OC and are like, "I love him!" and had no idea who he was "previously."

hmmm... well for Christmas one year (I believe I was 10 or 11), I received the original recordings to South Pacific, The King and I, and Fiddler on the Roof (and loved all of them!). I'm not really sure of the first one I bought myself, though.

I had my eye on the OBC recording of Annie for the longest time (even before I had seen the show). It was bright red with the shows logo on the front. At 14, I took the bus to our downtown district after school and went to the record shop to buy it. Like the first poster, I, too, had a paper route and saved my money to buy this.

First OCR was Camelot - think it was the Columbia Masterworks releases - I wore that into the ground... I also had a paper route that helped finance my growing collection and also gave me rehearsal time - I'd work on a song while I delivered papers - it was a little bizarre, but I really got a lot out of that...

'Jesus Christ Superstar' when I was in fifth or sixth grade.
It was the original recording on cassette. (It wasn't new then, either, this was probably 83 ir 84.)
