Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

even though i'm a sucker for cute guys going for not-so-cute girls (hairspray, wicked) that is probably the teenager in me
i agree that PASSION is probably the most romantic show of all time

Posted: 6/22/08 at 11:40amThe Scarlet Pimpernel first thing that pops into my head! Piazza certainly second, if not above SP!

Posted: 6/22/08 at 11:52amPassion. Also Phantom of the Opera.
"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

Passion or The Light in the Piazza
I can't decide between the two!
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
#22re: What Bway show is the most romantic of all time?
Posted: 6/22/08 at 12:47pm
Definitely PASSION and WEST SIDE STORY.
THE MUSIC MAN, THE KING & I, and PIAZZA deserve honorable mentions though.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

for me, Crazy For You. Love Gershwin.
but have to say that 'Where' the Girl' (full and reprise) from Scarlet Pimpernel are two of my favorite songs ever. and I get goose-bumps every time I hear them.
<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.
-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known.
