For whatever reason, whether it is because of its rarity or because of sentiment.
Mine would be:
"Sweeney" OBC and Barcelona Cast recordings
"The Capeman" OBC - LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! What an unfortunate disaster it turned out to be.
"Follies" - OBC
"A Little Night Music" Royal National Theater Recording - Judi Dench's "Send in the Clowns" still gives me chills.
"Edwin Drood" OBC - Cleo Laine's "Wages of Sin" always makes me sad for some reason.

'A Little Night Music' Royal National Theatre - for the reason above.
Moby Dick OLC - my first West End musical
Witches of Eastwick OLC - this CD (and show) bouyed me up during a particularly difficult time, for which I'm thankful 
Follies OBC LP - bought at a car boot sale for £1.50 ($2.60), only to find afterwards that it was signed by Sondheim!

Posted: 2/2/06 at 11:57amAdd another vote for RNT's Night Music. Also the 1991 Paris cast recording of Les Mis is my favorite recording of the show. I'll also never regret buying the Reprise Musical Theatre series...South Pacific, Guys & Dolls, Finian's Rainbow, and Kiss My Kate, all sung by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Keely Smith, Rosemary Clooney, Debbie Reynolds etc.

Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
