one performer on multiple OCRs

Bernadette Peters (GYPSY, SUNDAY..., SONG AND DANCE, INTO THE WOODS, MACK & MABEL, DAMES AT SEA, and probably more that I'm forgetting.

Angela Lansbury (GYPSY, MAME, SWEENEY TODD, DEAR WORLD, prob. more)

I don't think it's really interesting. People who are talented work.

Yeah..there's definitely more, but that's who I'm coming up with now, and most of them are repeats of the former posts. *shrug*

I can't believe I can't think of more Ethel Merman and Julie Andrews. I am pretty sure I don't have many, but I will have to sort through them. There must be people out there with 15 or more Merman recordings. And Jack Cassidy must be up there I just can't think of them. Barbra Streisand would be up there heavily weighted with films I only have 3 OCRs, but there must be more.

Walking Happy
Coco
The Grass Harp
The Mystery of Edwin Drood
The Secret Garden

I was not familar with George Rose and was surprised when his name kept popping up. These are not shows I play often.

Orson Bean (3) I guess this qualifies him to be on game show panels:
Subways are for Sleeping
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown - Studio Cast
Illya Darling

These people are Broadway stars because they've been in multiple shows, mostly recorded ones. Why is this such a shocker?

---

I find it interesting, because there are some shows like Passion I bought for Sondheim and have never bothered to find out who is in it. I play it at work and just pop in the CD.

Others, like Patti LuPone, Ethel Merman, and Julie Andrews have recorded plenty, but I don't have much. It makes me want to fill in the gaps. I think it is amazing that I have missed Patti LuPone (I only have Evita and Anything Goes) although I have 3 Les Miz (french concept, symphonic, and broadway) and mp3 versions of Dutch, and German, but no London. And two versions of Sunset Blvd. LA and broadway, but no london. I buy almost all used. So, I am sure that it is just a matter of availability. The only show I can remember buying new was Avenue Q at the gift shop after the show in Las Vegas.

Do people try to get the complete recordings of one performer?
Complete collection of a composer/lyricist?

This should start a conversation. Someone sees a show in a list they haven't heard of or really like and they respond. The site does not promote that because as far as I can tell even if you respond to a specific post the response goes to the bottom of the list. If it worked like a tree like IMDB conversations could go off on tangents without breaking the flow of the thread.
