I say In the Heights. Best Broadway score I've heard in years.

Um. Isn't this award for the PRODUCTION of the album, not the score.

I think some people are confused.

Yes, ljay, it is.

In which case, GYPSY!

Without a doubt, nominate "Gypsy". It's one of the best produced cast albums ever, let alone of the past year.

I'd also recommend "In the Heights", "South Pacific", and the anniversary "Annie"; three really wonderfully executed albums.


As for "Lovemusik" - Is it really eligible? It seems like that album was released quite a while ago. Regardless, it's a lovely recording.

My top three choices would be:

Gypsy
South Pacific
Annie

Three incredibly well produced albums, and all with fantastic performances!

I agree with Foster's list. PS especially.

Nice to hear that "Annie" DOES have some supporters!! I appreciate all the comments and conversation so far........

While the award goes to the producers, and to writers if more than half the material has never been recorded before, surely NARAS doesn't expect people to vote for borderline songs and performances just because the sound quality or the orchestrations are good. And that is true for any category, not just this one.

So, let's consider all the aspects that make a show recording a good one--ALL aspects, whatever that means.

And you guys are the best!

South Pacific and Gypsy.

Gypsy really should win by any fair measure of a good CAST ALBUM, but In the Heights will probably win because it's the hot new thing.

In The Heights, 100%. The production on that recording is phenomenal.

Why so little LoveMusik fans? I thought the cast recording was fabulous.
