I second that.

Right now, Hamilton. This has to be one of the best sounding cast recordings I've heard. It's obvious that they put a lot of work into that one.
I just received my copy of the concept album for Hadestown from Amazon and I'm sure it will soon be on repeat.

Hamilton on occasion still, but it was all I listened to for several months after I saw the show in February. In love with She Loves Me (2016 cast) at the moment. Just brought a copy to my mom; I gave her my login for the livestream during the viewing window and she loved it, and hearing her listen to the soundtrack made me want to re-listen.

While waiting for the Hadestown OCR (heard they recorded it) I'm also deeply into Anais Mitchell's concept album.

Indytallguy, I'm sure that will happen to me at some point. I'm one of the few on this board who had never heard the cast album until one week ago. I saw Hamilton for the first time last week and wanted to go in without hearing the OCR beforehand (which I do for all shows). Now I can't get enough of it!

I will also say fun home
i really have gotten sick of the Hamilton recording and Hamilton in general... I got the recording right when it came out in like September or October and I listened to it on repeat for a good 4-5 months and then my friend group got... That's when it took a turn for the worse. Every car ride after rehearsal or on the way to Steak 'n Shake after a show that's ALL they would listen to. I had to make it a rule in my car that Hamilton could be played once every ride.
I still listen to it occasionally, but it's like there are far more deserving and IMPORTANT shows and recordings which deserve credit.

What makes a show 'far more deserving'?
Posted: 7/23/16 at 3:28pm
lol I actually kind of agree with Jorge, to a point. I listened to Hamilton SO MUCH for like 6 months, at which point I stopped because I would be seeing it in June and didn't want to not enjoy it. I will listen to a track here and there but I haven't listened to the whole album in months. I obviously still think it's a very important show though.

Bonnie and Clyde. I seem to go back to it every few months. It's one of my few cast recordings that I play from start to end. The music and vocals are gorgeous--Jeremy Jordan and Laura Osnes! I regret not making it to NYC for this short-lived production.

She Loves Me (mostly the new Benanti version)
Hamilton
City of Angels
Kiss of the Spiderwoman

The Last Starfighter

Hamilton and Allegiance. I bought each, along with School of Rock, at the same time back in March I think. I have probably listened to Hamilton from beginning to end, either straight through or over multiple consecutive listening sessions, about 20 times. Allegiance maybe 12. And School of Rock 5. Hamilton is probably the only one I have repeated more than once in a listening cycle.

I'm currently obsessed with the "Heathers: The Musical". And more particularly the songs Candy Store and Kindergarten Boyfriend
Posted: 7/23/16 at 6:03pm
Waitress, Bright Star, and The King and I (2015).

I'm still into the King and I 2015. I havent really gotten much past the overture. Kelli is phenomenal. Ashley Park does a stunning job in all of her four songs. She stirs my spirit methinks she should have gotten a tony nomination for her performance.
Posted: 7/23/16 at 6:43pm
I listened to B&C for over a year...non-stop.
Posted: 7/23/16 at 7:00pm
In the car, it's a toss up of Waitress and Matilda.
Can also listen to Mamma Mia, Wicked, Something Tottenham's Rent over and over.
Posted: 7/23/16 at 8:05pm
I've been obsessing over The Great Comet. Can listen to it everyday and it still leaves me in tears. Definitely a new contender for my new favorite show in terms of music alone.
Also have had both Matilda recordings playing like crazy along with Hamilton, Aladdin, the full-length Phantom movie recording and Heathers. Like Brian, I LOVE me some Kindergarten Boyfriend.
Still need to check out Bright Star. Just haven't taken the time.

Into the Woods (OBC)
The Great Comet
My Fair Lady (OBC)

Since Sirius Channel 72 is on nonstop in the car (like probably many of you on BWW), the tunes I listen to from my iPhone are basically to accompany my jogging. Hence:
Hamilton
Bridges of Madison County
Mack & Mabel
Once On This Island
Titanic (I was recently on a cruise)
Parade (I just started a job in Atlanta, so...)

I only recently started listening to Grey Gardens for the first time and now I'm absolutely obsessed!
