I'm doing some shopping. What are the top 5 Cast Recordings that all Broadway fans need to have? I've been noticing there's a lot of new good material. Maybe even some of those.

Right now...? No particular order....

Parade
Spring Awakening
Floyd Collins
The Light in the Piazza
Chess

It's a Bird; It's a Plane; It's SUPERMAN!
Company
Hello Dolly (95 Revival)
The Threepenny Opera (54 Revival)

Not the best ever, but five of my favorites. I especially recommend Superman. A fun bouncy score with great songs.

I have several names, one is Julian2. I am also The Opps Girl. But cross me, and I become Bitch Dooku!

Guys I get the idea that since she knows Infinite's list...she doesn't need to be told about RENT, Wicked, et al.

A New Brain
Martin Guerre - 1999 UK Tour
John & Jen
