Papermill FOLLIES. Donna McKechnie is just divine.

Love me some McKechnie.

Everyday Rapture. Well, specifically, just "I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City", "Life Line", and "The Weight". Those three tracks just flow really well together.

I love the Make Me a Song cast recording. I wish I had seen it.

Omg kad, that mini 4 song cycle at the end about life/death is unbelievable.

That's Enough For Me
I Went Fishing With My Dad
When The World Stopped Turning
Anytime

I also love the combined Sailing/Set Those Sails arrangement.

I'm totally loving the Everyday Rapture recording and the songs you mentioned. I just wish Strongest Suit had been included. I imagine it's a rights issue with Disney. While Eamon is only in that segment of the show it would have been nice for him to have been included on the cast recording.

I LOVE the Sailing/Set Those Sails arrangement. I think the two songs compliment each other perfectly.
And the life/death segment is just heartrending. No one writes songs about life and loss like that except William Finn.

I also love the Falsettos sequence- maybe because it's the closest thing to a revival we'll see in a while.

The Grass Harp OBCR is such a pleasure, and I've been completely obsessed with "Babylove's Miracle Show." I've also been spinning Two Gentlemen of Verona and The Golden Apple frequently. I was playing the Ziegfeld Follies of 1936 repeatedly over the weekend. The OBCR of House of Flowers gets near daily playings in my house too. I love Harold Arlen! The lush and lovely OBCR of Saratoga has popped up too recently.

On a William Finn note, I was listening to Elegies last week at work. I have the Madrid cast of Falsettoland on my iPod and it is lovely. Listened to 25th Annual.. and still feel completely underwhelmed by it.

25th Annual is far from his best, but has some really lovely stuff. "The I Love You Song" especially, as well as "Second".

MEMPHIS. I have no shame.

New Faces of 1968, particularly Madeline's "Das Chicago Song," and Robert Klein's "Hullabaloo at Thebes."

Also a strange live recording of On The Twentieth Century with Judy Kaye.

Memphis, Promises, Night Music with Zeta Jones, Funny Girl and Michael Ball's Broadway album.

Not from a Broadway or off Broadway show but I have been listening to "A Tale" from Cirque du Soleil's "La Nouba" constantly for the past 4 weeks. I have also been listening to "O" a lot.

Weird coincidence, I've also been listening "Make Me a Song" all day. "Anytime" is just... wow. It's been a long time since I've heard that song, and it's really wreaking havoc with my emotional state right now. And "I'd Rather Be Sailing / Set Those Sails" represents two of my favorite Finn songs of all time rolled into one amazing piece. I could probably spend the rest of the day just listening to it.

Lea Michele in Funny Girl Wicked

I especially love:

Don't tell me not to defy gravity
If someone takes a spill, it's Nessa and not me
Don't bring around a cloud to kiss me goodbye defying gravity

I'm really loving In the Heights and wishing I had seen it last time I was in NYC.
I also have to listen to the first five songs from Next to Normal almost everyday.

For me it is Hair, never get sick of listening to it and it makes a smelly subway ride home much more pleasant (and that is not an easy task) Do alternate on occasionally but I am hooked on Hair : )
