When Cabaret closed, I listened to it all the time. I kid you not. Unless I was in school, I was listening to that CD.

I've listened to BARE for hours on end, not sure the exact amount of time. It's usually when I surf BWW in the late hours of the night...hmmm...

I listened to Red and Black from Les Miz: Duisburg for a long, LONG time (I don't remember exactly). The reason for that, other than it's an awesome song, was that I was trying to memorize the lyrics but I don't speak German.

Listened to Rent and nothing else for months. My Petrified record is three hours, the longest I've listened to any song straight.

In 7th grade while i was doing my homework i needed to listen to music, and the kind of music i listened to gave me headaches if i listened to it for too long (i know it doesn't make sense, but thats ok), so I listened to Rent EVERY DAY while i did my homework for like 3 months straight. By the end of 7th grade the covers, backs, and inside covers of all my books and note books had Rent lyrics all over them.

Not a broadway cd exactly...but I've listened to Idina Menzel's Still I Can't Be Still for hours and hours at time time.

And here's my shameless plug for both of her CDs...great works even if you are not a fan of her theatre work.

I once listened to "Another Day" (Rent) for 3 hours straight. Same story with "Will I?".

GYPSY (2003) was in rotation from March - June.

That's probably it with obsessing. There's too much to just listen to one piece of work!!

I also must admit to Wicked. I have been playing it virtually non-stop since I got it in April. Unfortunately I have so much work I can't listen to it as often as I would like. However, I think I will need to get a new one soon because it is getting scratched.

When I first got Wicked, it was the only cd I ever listened to! I loved it and memorized all the words within days.

Slightly off-topic, but my friends watched Finding Nemo six times on their flight from Australia to the US.

I haven't listened to anything but TABOO since June. I'll spend all day listening to the recording. I won't take phone calls because "Petrified" has come on. I won't come down to dinner until the 30 seconds left of "Come On in from the Outside" has played. My parents are actually starting to worry.

From the end of June to August eighteenth, I listened to The Producers non-stop. I don't know why I stopped.

When I first bought the "Taboo", "Assassins", and "Caroline" cds, I didn't listen to anything but them for two weeks after I bought them. As for songs, I've once listened to "Run, Freedom Run" from "Urinetown" for an hour and a half straight. Lately, all I play is "Role of a Lifetime", "One, and "Are You There" from "Bare". That's been going on since middle of two weeks ago.

I had an internship in the Adirondaks in upstate NY this summer and I drove there and back from Pennsylvania, a 5 1/2 hour drive. I had a stack of cast recordings in my car and rotated them as I drove. The stack included Taboo (British and American cast), Wicked, Ave. Q, Rocky Horror Show (NBC), Once on This Island, and Rent. I know, more than 5 1/2 hours... my poor, poor housemates didn't know what they were getting into when they had to use me as a ride back and forth to the theatre each day. :)
