Listening to OLC Lord of the Rings quite a bit. A lot of Les Mis, though not any particular recording. Assassins revival, Ragtime OBC and Rock of Ages OBC are the other ones I'm playing quite a bit at the moment.
Other notable favorites: Evita OBC Spring Awakening OBC In the Heights OBC Ragtime Highlights Recording
"There's nothing good on. The media hates Christmas. The media loves vampires, though. Maybe they will show a Twilight Christmas." -Danmeg's 10 year old son.
For cast recordings lately I've been listening to Shrek a lot. But Thoroughly Modern Millie will always be my favorite cast recording.
And it's not really a cast recording, but I have also been listening to Sutton Foster's Wish A LOT. And yet it seems to get better and better with each listen! :)
My current obsession is Chess: In Concert, though my favorites will always be Sweeney Todd and The Light in the Piazza.
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
