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!

Passion or The Light in the Piazza
I can't decide between the two!

Definitely PASSION and WEST SIDE STORY.
THE MUSIC MAN, THE KING & I, and PIAZZA deserve honorable mentions though.

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.
