We had the LPs of Camelot, My Fair Lady and Annie, plus a few other golden age shows.
The first cassette of a Broadway cast recording I ever purchased was A CHORUS LINE. Ditto for my first cd (cast recording or otherwise). Somehow my parents didn't object to me listening to Ritchie's section of the Montage, or Dance Ten: Looks Three...
I wore out my ACL cd and had to replace it...but by that time, I replaced it with the remastered edition.
I also "wore out" my Sweeney Todd OBC cd and had to replace that one too. Now that I'm an adult, I take much better care of my cast recordings!

#68re: You're first broadway cast recording
Posted: 3/21/08 at 10:03pmwhen i was like 7 or 8 my great grandmother gave the OBC to Annie and I wore that CD out. It was my first CD (as CDs were brand new back then) and my first OBC recording. She knew I loved the movie and watched it all the time so just as an "i love you and miss you" present she sent me the CD :)

FALSETTOS (both parts).
I just directed a production right before my 21st birthday. It truly was a full-circle, extraordinary feeling as I prepare for graduation of my undergraduate experience.
