Well, I know that we all sometimes get infatuated with new cast recordings and play them all the time, until we get tired of them or until another one that comes along. But I am sure there are a couple that you have never got tired of and keep playing them any chance you have and in between of the newer ones. I'd like to know, which is the cast recording that you keep getting out of the shelf and play it again and again ? Please try to limit them to a maximum of 3. For me it's RENT, Hairspray and Phantom.
RENT. Every time I listen to it, I discover something new, or rediscover something I hadn't thought of in a while. There's not one part of that CD that doesn't hold some sort of really special memory for me, and you don't ever get tired of things that hold so much like that.

I don't really get tired of my DRS ocr because a lot of the songs are fairly different and there are many to chose from. Speaking of that--who's going on Thurs? Full cast and David Yazbek will be signing.
WICKED, I've listened to it every day since January 29, 2004.

To Kill A Mockingbird
A CHORUS LINE - partially because of the life-memories it brings. THE GOSPEL AT COLONUS - because it makes me feel elevated. DREAMGIRLS - because it's some of the best music of any kind I've heard.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

For me, for some odd reason, it's Miss Saigon. I have a tendency to even just tire of a CD for a month and then love it but just not this one, doesn't matter how much I listen to it, I still love it.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
I tend to fall in love with a musical and listen to nothing but that musical for two months, and then get so sick of it that I barely listen to it again. With Hairpray however, I never get bored of it, and can always get into it. I even dance around in my apartment to it when nobody is around.
Save him please, just save him
My poor Boq, my sweet, my brave him
Don't leave me till my sorry life has scene
Alone and loveless here, just the girl in the mirror
Just her and me, the Wicked Witch of the East
