I might call Rent classic now (though it's a little soon), but I'd never call it classical.
Mine, from longest obsession to most recent: West Side Story Guys and Dolls Sweeney Todd Follies Caroline, or Change Light in the Piazza (recently, we'll see...)

I listen to so many shows. Usually changes to whatever show I am working on at the time. Right now my favorites are: -Ragtime -Rent -Baby -Falsettos -A New Brain -Grand Hotel -Wicked -Suessical -Aida -thoroughly Modern Millie -Big River -Jekyll & Hyde -Les Miz -Witches of Eastwick
A lot of them I performed,and a lot of them I just listen to during hard times. Just lost two friends in the St. Louis Community theatre world, and listening to some of these shows brings back so many memories of these shows.
Lets see here if I get these in order, Let My People Come, Hair, A Chorus Line, Les Mis, and recently Nine, the revival and I'm very hooked on Alter Boyz right now!.

Liz, can you please clarify the difference for me ? I think I have a vague idea, but being a foreigner and all, I am not sure of the distinction ! What I meant by classical is that, it looks like it has defied time and is considered an important must-have recording in musical theater. Should I have used classic instead ? Thanks !
Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.
