Which cast recording are you currently listening to on repeat?

I'm currently obsessed with both the 1994 London Cast Recording and 2016 Broadway Revival Recording She Loves Me soundtracks. The orchestrations are so charming it's as if cherubs are playing! 

What are you listening to?

 

EDIT: Fixed the title for y'all!

Odd that the original poster refers to the recordings appropriately as Cast Recordings in his post but then goes back and refers to them as soundtracks and also does so in the title of the thread. 

They actually are Cast Recordings, soundtracks are recordings of movie scores, even though iTunes, Spotify and most music streaming services erroneously label cast recordings as soundtracks as well.

Its become the norm but that doesn't make it right.

That being said I am currently listening to She Loves Me, Hamilton, Rock of Ages and reacquainting myself with Cats.

Oh, darn, I re-read my message twice hoping it wouldn't be nitpicked. Thank you for the clarification.

Hi SassySam!

You are very welcome.

Still Hamilton. *sigh* I'm a little annoyed with myself.  I keep trying to go back to bands I like, but Hamilton always pulls me back.  I even started listening to Hadestown, but that didn't endure for me the way I thought it would.  It was right back to Hamilton.  I walk my dog late at night in the summer and I can hardly contain myself. I throw my fist into the air, do hand motions.  If anyone saw me, I'd look totally ridiculous. It's as fresh as it was the day it was released.  Good grief.

Tuck Everlasting currently...

The American Idiot soundtrack, can't get past it. Also, the Fun Home soundtrack and the Evita original cast soundtrack. I pretty much listen to nothing but Broadway soundtracks nowadays.

I'm going shamefully admit that I've had Starlight Express on repeat the last couple of days. I'll show myself out.

I second Tuck Everlasting.

The Color Purple - because Cynthia Erivo

I'd say Tuck Everlasting, Wicked (German), and Ragtime.

I just got a few of the academics in my family the Hamilton recording, and they have me listening to it over and over and criticizing various historical figures and trying to fill in the blanks of what history is left out of the show.  It's getting to be too much honestly.

American Psycho, the London cast of course. Still hoping we will get one from Broadway, but guess I'll have to wait for a revival in 30 years.

The London cast recording of Matilda.

[broadwayfreak4]

All Shook Up and Hamilton.

Cabaret, the original and 98' revival recordings. They both still give me chills.

Matilda, OBC (Deluxe Edition)/OLC, just such a nice show.

Sweeney Todd, every English Cast Recording except the film's. Not because I don't like it, just because I haven't bothered to purchase it yet.

Little Shop of Horrors, Off-B'way, on B'way.

Fiddler on the Roof, 2016 Recording.

Ghost Quartet and Natasha, Pierrre... have been in heavy rotation the last few months.

Bright Star and Ain't Misbehavin' I've also been listening to frequently.

Went to closing night of the Broadway production and I have never seen such a warm and responsive audience. (My friend actually preferred Psycho over Waitress, I think mainly because of the crowd.) I wish the show would move Off-Broadway.
