Oy. I have like THOUSANDS of Broadway Cast Albums and Broadway-related albums on my iPod. I have so many that I created a different genre just to separate them from the movies. Let's see.

"Breathe from your hoo-hoo."

Not much really: Wicked Les Miz Rent And random songs from: Phantom of the Opera, The Wedding Singer, Aida, Aspects of Love (well, one song...), and the Lion King

MAMMA MIA! AIDA TABOO THE WEDDING SINGER DRACULA AVENUE Q ALL SHOOK UP SPAMALOT DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS WICKED THE WOMAN IN WHITE JERSEY BOYS THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA RENT GREASE
I have about 130 cast recordings on my iPod, about 15 of which I listen to regularly. The other songs on my iPod are either (cough)bootlegs or songs from TV shows - I guess I like having a visual/story to go along with my music.
Anyway, now that I have to walk 20 minutes to and from school twice each day, I generally get through one cast album a day. Today was Zanna, Don't! What a strange show that is...
And I hate to say it, but before I started doing exercise classes (too hard to motivate myself on the treadmills and Precors) Defying Gravity was my absolute best workout song. You just sprint all the way through the last refrain. Avenue Q is also good for these purposes. Though you get funny looks when acting it out, which I always did. Acually, my friend and I would both put on Defying Gravity towards the end of our 30 minutes on the machines and have melodramatic lip-synch competitions. I have gone so far off topic it's not even funny.
I have: *HAIRSPRAY *GREASE *GREASE 2 (not really a musical...) *LEGALLY BLONDE (from CD sampler) *HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL *BEAUTY & THE BEAST *LION KING *LITTLE MERMAID (from Blog site) *AVENUE Q *RENT *TITANIC
."Not Me" from Aida (don't have the full CD, but I love that song) .The Drowsy Chaperone .Wicked .Rent OBCR .Rent Soundtrack .The Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack (need to replace it it the OLCR) .The Wedding Singer .Dreamgirls Soundtrack .Thoroughly Modern Millie
I like Dreamgirls, Hairspray, Avenue Q, Altar Boyz, and I also like listening to The Boy From Oz and Jersey Boys. It's pretty upbeat and doesn't make me want to cry... except for Fantasies Come True... *cry cry*
I have the following on my iPod... Avenue Q Dreamgirls Altar Boyz tick...tick...BOOM!

I am hoping iTunes will release some cast recordings that were never released, such as Lestat, and maybe the London Children of Eden (which is out of print).

Its a great length, high energy, and I do it every other day.
When I am at the gym, I work out to "flops" in theatre world. There are only 3 musicals on my gym workout are The Wedding Singer, High Fidelity (Demo) and Footloose. Specifically the songs,
1. I Can't Stand Still, Footloose 2. Its Your Wedding Day, Wedding Singer 3. Let Me Come Home, Wedding Singer 4. The Girl Gets Around, Footloose 5. Its All About The Green, Wedding Singer 6. She Goes, High Fidelity 7. Single, Wedding Singer 8. Top 5 Breakups, High Fidelity 9. Saturday Night In The City, Wedding Singer 10. Its Your Wedding Day Finale, Wedding Singer
These are on my top 10 for the gym workout...I am such a WEDHEAD! And loving it!
I made a list of all your faults, it was quite detailed and lengthy too and when I read it through I missed you. Your like a classic Eagles song, you just cant help but sing along even though it sometimes gets annoying too. I just know I want to be wherever I can wake and see you there next to me. **High Fidelity**
Love is what I do **The Wedding Singer**

i have a lot of broadway full/almost full Cast Recordings on mine, so usually I seperate the ones I listen to the most into their own playlists of albums so I don't have to go through all of the albums, songs, or artists to find them.
The cast recordings I have are:
Spring Awakening - not all songs though, like 3 or 4 are missing Rent- full both movie & broadway soundtracks Wicked Jersey Boys A Chorus Line Revival A Chorus Line (Original, but with not all songs) The Wedding Singer Godspell The Lion King Beauty and the Beast (missing a few songs though) Sweeney Todd (Revival) Hairspray The Phantom of the Opera (movie & OBC) Once on this Island Spamalot Guys and Dolls Chicago Grease (Movie) Dreamgirls Legally Blonde (whats availible as samplers)
...probably will have more to come on there though sometime soon
and most listened to are--Jersey Boys [of course!], Rent, Wicked, The Wedding Singer
Come on babe we're gonna paint the town...and all that jazz...
I’ve been listening to Urinetown constantly these days. I’m trying to get ready to do the show in April. It’s also good for a workout because, "The music is so happy!” Spring Awakening is also a good cast album to workout to. I feel like such a loser sometimes because my ipod is basically all cast albums.
