Just wondering what everyone's listening to nowadays. What are your top five most often played cast albums right now?
Mine: SPRING AWAKENING SEUSSICAL (only because I'm in it) GREY GARDENS THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA (still...) JULIA MURNEY: I'M NOT WAITING (not a cast album, true, but I can't get enough of her) Updated On: 3/16/07 at 09:18 PM
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

Now what would you say if today I started over?
Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover
And I'll pretend like everything is already alright
And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight

The choosing was not...

Not all of these are cast albums, but they're close enough.
1. Evita (2006) 2. Footloose (movie soundtrack) 3. Company (2006) 4. Requiem 5. a British RP CD b/c I have to do the accent in an upocming production of Antigone, and this one SHOULD be my #1 slot...but I got distracted by four other CDs...
I tend only to listen to cast recordings while I'm in my apartment having dinner or something...I don't typically listen to them on my iPod as I'm walking down the street.
So while not my most played albums of current, my most played CAST albums at the moment would be:
1. GREY GARDENS 2. DREAMGIRLS (film) 3. MACK & MABEL 4. TABOO (B'way) 5. A CHORUS LINE (1975) 6. FOLLIES (199 7. BALLROOM 8. COMPANY (1970) 9. ELAINE STRITCH: AT LIBERTY 10. CATS

Rent Spring Awakening Drowsy Chaperone Into the Woods Tick, Tick... Boom
So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
