too many too lazy to list
there's not enough room for the 700 or so that i own... but i also see that some have listed musical theater singers with solo albms, or compilations so that probably bumps my total to about 800 or so...
I've got over 1200 now, I believe, including lots of foreign language stuff and live performances from the 60s.
well, im only 23 years old...i still have time for my collection to rise above 1000.
...and i'm not including what i own on vinyl... but then again, that only amounts to a few...

Nearly all there is (must be between 200 and 300 to be precise)
update: that is to say 200 to 300 shows, not recordings.
Updated On: 3/2/05 at 10:05 AM
Phew! I thought that I had a lot at 280, but I'll need to go on a few more shopping sprees before I reach the 'pro' level . . .
About 500 including Broadway, Off Broadway, London, Regional, Concepts etc
Ha. I honestly thought I had a lot.
But I'm probably only up to fifty, maybe seventy-five.
*hides* Don't judge! I'm dirt poor, and I'm only eighteen!

Ok...new question...which recordings are your favorites? My list is pretty small compared to most of you but it's growing! Give me some advice on which ones I should purchase next!!
You are young & I have every confidence you will get up there
I need to make long range plans as to what happens to my theater collection once I pass on. I have to draw up a will & I am thinking of leaving it all to Goodspeed. If anyone else knows where these could all go other than Goodspeed (or yourself) I would honestly like to know
