Few electronic devices have caught on in recent years as fast as Apple's iPod's have. Since their release in 2002, more than 42 million iPods have been sold. In fact, for the first quarter of this year, they estimated 100 iPods were being sold a minute. That's why you can't walk more than a block in the city without seeing at least one pair of little white headsets.

To celebrate the success of this nearly ubiquitous device, and since so many of us equate summer fun with listening to some great tunes, it seemed like the perfect time to poll 40 favorites in the theatre world with the simple question of "What's on your iPod?" Looking through the responses, what's certain is that the taste of those on and around the Great White Way is as varied (if not more so!) than the shows on Broadway. Check back every day for the next 40 days for new entries and join in the fun by talking about what's on your iPod on the BroadwayWorld Message Board.

Hinton Battle - Chicago, Miss Saigon, The Tap Dance Kid, Sophisticated Ladies, Dancin', The Wiz, Something Different Angie Stone ("Wish I Didn't Miss You"), Donnie McClurkin ("Holy, Holy, Holy"), Common ("Testify")...there it is.

Shoshana Bean - Wicked, Hairspray What's NOT on my iPod is a better question! I think I have almost 4000 songs. I guess the most popular is my workout playlist for the gym! It gets the most play, and has a lot of J. Lo remixes, Pink, Keyshia Cole, 50 Cent, Michael Jackson, that kind of stuff. But the songs in heaviest rotation now would be India Arie's new album, Corinne Bailey Rae, Christina Aguilera's single, and my friend Tituss Burgess' new album! Oh, and I just got an oooooooold album off Amazon--"Night Rangers' Greatest Hits"--they were the first concert I ever went to...with my dad.

Larry Blank - Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me, The Drowsy Chaperone, La Cage aux Folles I like to listen to the current batch of stuff on Broadway...so there's Wicked, Drowsy Chaperone, lots of Adam Guettel and Jason Robert Brown, lots of different Broadway overtures from various eras...since I'm a constant student of theatre orchestration. I travel a lot, and tend to reload my iPod for each trip with stuff that I think will add to my thought processes for whatever I'm working on.

Mario Cantone - Laugh Whore, Assassins, The Violet Hour, Love! Valour! Compassion! Some old Rufus and Chaka Khan Chaka -"Classic Khan," Eric Benet -"Hurricane," Earth Wind and Fire -"Illuminations," Marc Broussard -"Carencro," Lalah Hathaway- "Out Run the Sky," John Legend- "Get Lifted," Michael McDonald- "Motown," Rashaan Patterson, "After Hours." And, of course, some classic Judy and Shirley Bassey!

Michael Cerveris - Sweeney Todd, Assassins, Titanic, The Who's Tommy Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the blood, but I've been hungry for loud guitars a lot lately. These days, my iPod mostly plays the Arctic Monkey's album--really clever lyrics over edgy, twitchy British postpunk tunes. Also enjoying the very Kinks-ish band Kooks and also Hard Fi, a funky, Clash-like band from Britain. Then there's Nellie McKay's last record, full of wit and spite and inventive pop stylings and Regina Spektor's Maryann and the Gravediggers which, in Oedipus, has one of the most oddly constructed, terrific songs I've heard lately. The new Replacements compilation, "Don't You Know Who I think I Was?," gets a fair amount of play, as do albums by Idlewild, Johnny Cash, Iggy Pop and for a palate cleanser, a bit of Carpenters...but no showtunes

Donna Lynne Champlin - Sweeney Todd, Flight of the Lawnchair Man (NYMF), Hollywood Arms My iPod is loaded with Nickel Creek, Rufus Wainwright, The Prayer Cycle (indescribably brilliant!), Alison Krauss, many movie soundtracks, Frank Sinatra, Tommy Makem and The Clancy Brothers, Harry Connick Jr., and my newest favorite CD, 'Ten Cents a Dance,' by the brilliant Nancy Anderson. I tend to drift to the 'non'-musical theatre music on my down time, although I do admit to cranking Altar Boyz when it's time to clean my apartment, much to my neighbors' dismay. Although I'm sure they like it a hell of a lot better than my accordion practicing last year!

Will Chase - Lennon, The Full Monty, Aida, Rent I've got everything from Mahler to Metallica, everything Rush has ever recorded, Beatles, everything John Lennon ever recorded that's available, Bill Monroe and Mountainheart (that's Bluegrass greatness), the Bernstein "Mahler" recordings, the von Karajan "Beethoven" recordings, and tons of Metal: Godsmack, Metallica, Rob Zombie, System Of A Down, etc. And I actually listen to it all!

Jen Cody - The Pajama Game, Taboo, Urinetown, Seussical Well, I love eighties music. My workout mix has "We Built This City," "Come on Eileen," "Video Killed the Radio Star," and all of Meatloaf and REO Speedwagon Dakota Moon and the Nylons get a lot of play, too! I wish that sounded cooler...

Michael Crawford - Dance of the Vampires, The Woman in White (in London), The Phantom of the Opera I've got about five hundred songs on my iPod at the moment. Like most people, I think, I'll have a passion for one singer, or one show, or one musician or other. At the moment, I'm listening to Yo Yo Ma, playing anything, also Susannah McCorkle, singing anything.

Anthony Crivello - Phantom--The Vegas Spectacular, Marie Christine, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Les Miserables Bruce Springsteen: (The Seegar Sessions- "John Henry," "Pay Me My Money Down"), James Brown: ("Gravity", "Living in America" "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag"), Lucianno Pavarotti: ("La Donna e' Mobile"), Verdi: Rigoletto, "Vesti la Giubba"(Leoncavallo/Pagliacci), "Nessun Dorma!" (Puccini/Turandot), Inxs: "Suicide Blonde," "Devil Inside," Bob Dylan: "Man of Peace," (Sometimes Satan Comes..."), Matthew Wilder's Cry to Heaven (demo)-"Home," "Revenge," "Handful of Rain," Frank Sinatra: "That's Life," Dean Martin: "Inamorata," "The Hawaiian Guy," "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," Talking Heads: "Take Me to the River," Nino Rota's Theme from The Godfather (Orchestra: "Speak Softly Love..."), Tony Bennett, The Killers, Blue Grass, Jimmy Durante, West Side Story...Depends on my mood, the time of day...and where I'm walking or driving to.

Rob Evan - Little Shop of Horrors, Dance of the Vampires, Jekyll & Hyde, Les Miserables Most of my ipod listening revolves around my workout. Music is a motivating factor and keeps me going. I also use that time to learn new material that I am either recording or preparing to perform. My wife, Beate, downloads all the hip stuff from itunes and I steal it from her library. Some of the favorites that I listen to most include: Gnarls Barkley (I did a strange Threepenny Opera with Cee-Lo a few years back); Franz Ferdinand; Gorillaz; Black-Eyed Peas; The Killers; Led Zeppelin (for a little old school); Duran Duran (OK, I admit it); Michael Buble (his version of "Home" is great); Nine Inch Nails; Outkast; Kelly Clarkson (I feel like Steve Carroll but you know that is a great album); John Legend ("Ordinary People"); Elliot Yamin (his "Moody's Moody for Love" is really smooth); The Chemical Brothers; Baaba Maal ("Nomad Soul"); Alanis Morissette (her version of Seal's "Crazy"); Kanye West; Aerosmith ("Dream On Live"); Annie Lennox, and of course Jim Steinman (the obvious hits as well as rare tracks and newly recorded material from "The Dream Engine").

Manoel Felciano - Sweeney Todd, Brooklyn, Jesus Christ Superstar, Cabaret "Irish for the Actor," "This Bird has Flown Podcast," John Mayer, Dave Matthews, John Mayer imitating Dave Matthews, John Mayer covering 'N Sync, Martin Sexton, Olivier Messiaen, Ice Cube, The Smiths, Beatles, The Darkness, Maurice Durufle, U2, Darude, Gabriel & Dresden, Zero 7, Thievery Corporation, Sneaker Pimps, Dresden Dolls, Sufjan Stevens, Fleetwood Mac, Butterfly Boucher, Maria Taylor, Jason Mraz, The Disturbed, Kelly Clarkson, Nelly, Danger Mouse, The Killers, Journey, and Patti's first Tuba rehearsal from last year

Barrett Foa - Spelling Bee, Avenue Q, Mamma Mia! Recent (and brilliant): Sufjan Stevens - "The Avalanche," Thom Yorke - "The Eraser," Keane - "Under The Iron Sea;" Always: Rufus Wainwright, Jason Mraz, Sujan Stevens, Jeff Buckley, k.d. lang, The Postal Service, Joni Mitchell, Keane; Occasionally: Jack Johnson, Gavin DeGraw, The Shins, Coldplay, David Gray, John Mayer, Garden State soundtrack, Black Eyed Peas (before they sold out), OutKast (after they sold out), The Carpenters, Mates of State, Air Musical Theatre--Recent: [title of show] cast album; Always: Floyd Collins, The Light In The Piazza, Carousel (1994 Lincoln Center Cast), The Last Five Years, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park With George; Never: Godspell, 2000 Off-Broadway Cast, Mamma Mia!, Avenue Q, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Mandy Gonzalez - Lennon, Dance of the Vampires, Aida I was a little late coming into the game with the iPod, but now I have a Mini so I take what I can get! Right now I'm obsessed with: India.Arie, David Bowie, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Interpol, John Lennon, Judy Garland Live at Carnegie Hall, Scissor Sisters, Sigu Roos, Bruce Springsteen, The Strokes, and Gorillaz.

Ann Harada - Avenue Q, Seussical, M. Butterfly I crammed a bunch of songs onto my ipod before I left for London, trying to put stuff on written by people I know, so I could hear their songs and not feel so homesick. So I play Altar Boyz because I miss Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker, and songs written by Steve Marzullo and Jeff Blumenkrantz and Phoebe Kreutz. And then when I just feel, oh gosh, I need to feel American again, I play Ragtime. And Hair. oh, did you care about non-theatre stuff? it doesnt matter because I hardly have any non-theatre stuff. Okay, the White Album. I am in London after all, and live very close to Abbey Road.

Sam Harris - The Producers, The Life, Grease I am the single person left on earth who does not have an iPod. Well, I have one, but I have yet to put anything in it...on it...whatever. It's pathetic, I know. But music has never been something that can be in the background for me. It requires my full attention and the iPod isn't really made for one's full attention, now is it? I mean, I appreciate background music at a dinner party, but I always find myself drfiting away from a conversation and thinking "Wow, did you hear how Ella phrased that?" Which is, frankly, rude to the person who is telling me about their divorce. When people are talking about their agents or the way show business "used to be" I find the background music helpful as a distraction. I don't even listen to music in the car as I seem to miss exits and run over pedestrians. Inevitably, I sing along, throw my hands in the air at the end, and all hell breaks loose. I suppose an iPod would be good for the gym... but then one would have to go to a gym. I belong to two, but don't go to either. I watch TV while on a treadmill at home because if I am listening to music I am compelled to jog to the tempo of the song that is playing. I can't help it. So, that takes out any ballad I might like to hear. And showtunes don't really go with running, except for any Ethel Merman song and let's face it, a 40 minute run with Ethel Merman could seem like a lifetime. In short, I recognize that I need to get with the rest of the population, but at this point, it would be out of fear of being antiquated rather than any true need. But I am not completely behind the times. I got one of those cameras for my computer and the sex is great.

Cheyenne Jackson - All Shook Up, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Aida a bit of everything,.....like allison kraus, damien rice, deborah cox, dixie chicks, elvis, eminem, gavin degraw, george michael, gorillaz, green day, india arie, indigo girls, jack johnson, kd lang, the killers, madonna, michael jackson, nickelcreek, nine inch nails, patti griffin, peter gabriel, ricky martin, robbie williams, rufus wainwright, sam cooke, sarah mclachlan, shakira, and lots of original music written and performed by my peers and peeps. and i think another interesting question would be........what is the most embarasing thing on your ipod?........i'll go first.........ashley parker angel, nick lachey, and yes........that paris hilton song "stars are blind" i know, i know, but ya gotta admit it, that shit is catchy!

Richard Jay-Alexander - Five Guys Named Moe, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, Lea Salonga. Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, Ricky Martin, Bernadette Peters, Brian Stokes Mitchell Corinne Bailey Rae, Soundtrack to BOSSA NOVA, Il Divo, lots of Barbra Streisand, Eric Benet--"Hurricane," Brian Stokes Mitchell, SEESAW (Original Broadway Cast Recording), GOLDEN RAINBOW (Original Broadway Cast Recording), Sean McDermott --"My Broadway," "So Amazing" -- an All-Star Tribute to Luther Vandross, Living Theater - Act Three, Los Lonely Boys, Bernadette Peters -- both Carnegie Hall albums, Liz Callaway -- "The Beat Goes On," Polly Bergen, lots of Jamiroquai, Pet Shop Boys -- CLOSER TO HEAVEN, lots of Johnny Mathis, Desmond Child & Rouge, Jane Monheit, Sergio Mendes -- "Timeless," Kiki & Herb -- "Will Die For You At Carnegie Hall," lots of Jonny McGovern, Amy Irving singing "Brazil," Debby Boone -- "Reflections of Rosemary," Simply Sendroff, Donna McKechnie's album, Bette Midler -- "The Divine Miss M," The Original Soundtrack Album of LADY SINGS THE BLUES, lots of Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme, MISS SAIGON (Original London Cast Recording), lots of Laurie Beechman, Sam Harris -- "Broadway" & "Standard Time."

Michelle Kittrell - All Shook Up, Urban Cowboy, Hairspray, Sweet Smell of Success, Seussical Right now, I'm OBSESSED with India Arie's new album "Testimony, Vol.1: Life & Relationship." I think she is so insightful and hopeful. I feel moved by her music no matter what! I also listen to my girl Shoshana Bean's music. I'm one of the lucky one's to have that! And then if I just want to dance around like a fool...I put on Christina Aquilera's "Aint No Other Man." That's a hot song!

Rick Lyon - Avenue Q This is embarrassing, but there is nothing on my iPod. My wife, Tonya Dixon, bought me one for my birthday months ago, and I haven't had time to figure out how to use it. Between performing Q on Broadway, maintaining and repairing the Q puppets, and working on other puppet projects at my shop, I barely have time to eat and sleep, so loading my iPod with music has been de-prioritized. When Tonya gets back from starring in Aida in Maine, maybe I'll ask her to fill it with some of her favorite music!

Tina Maddigan - The Wedding Singer, Mamma Mia! iPod? What is this I pod you speak of...? I still listen to my mom's eight track player and LPs. Right now, my iPod is broken because I'm terrible with electronics. I've had four camera's and three cell phones since the beginning of The Wedding Singer. And, I have gone to have my iPod fixed 6 times...seriously, six times! When I go to get it, the Apple guy gets a kick out of my selections including some Gregorian Chant, accordion favorites of the 20's and Smurfette's Greatest Hits. Alright, so you really want to know. Well, I have three playlists--"Funk It Out," "Warm It Up" and "Just to Hang." "Funk It Out" are the songs that I work out to--Eminem, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Nelly Furtado, LL Cool J, and I hate to admit it, but Britney. My "Warm It Up" playlist is theatre songs that I just love to sing--anything by Jason Robert Brown, David Friedman, Jeff Blumenkrantz, Sherie Rene Scott, Sutton Foster and my favorite, Nancy LaMott. I spice it up with a little Wicked, Poppins, Hairspray and my favorite Broadway score, The Wedding Singer...it's awesome! My "Just to Hang" playlist is everything and anything from Tina Turner to Norah Jones, Stevie Wonder to Aerosmith, Dave Matthews to Bobby McFerrin. I love Sting, Joni Mitchell, Jan Arden and sometimes a little Celtic fiddle to remind me of home.

Jeff Marx - Avenue Q, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Every Beatles album (still the best ever!); every Ben Folds album (including digital EP releases - the coolest); every Sondheim show except Anyone Can Whistle; a lot of Billy Joel, Elton John, The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Carpenters, Paul Williams, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, Queen, The Bee Gees, Buddy Holly, Allan Sherman...a ton of musicals, everything from Oklahoma to Jersey Boys; "Edges" by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul; the entire 14-CD Time-Life "Sounds of the Seventies" collection.

Rick McKay - Broadway: The Golden Age, Broadway: Beyond the Golden Age, Broadway: The Next Generation Spending my life either traveling around the world to shoot my Broadway films or sitting with the legends and filming them, my Ipod becomes indispensable. For research I have entire shows from old bootlegs, which really teaches you how to construct a show - not the cast albums, but full performances with applause, coughing, etc., of everything from Merman's closing nights in Gypsy and "Dolly" and Lansbury in Gypsy and "Sweeney" to Uta Hagen and Stritch, both playing Martha in "Virginia Woolf" and Liza and Chita in Chicago. Live recordings really help with my work and keep me inspired, as well, so I have Streisand's never-released early 60's uncut nightclub acts, the holy grail "Judy at Carnegie Hall," "Sinatra at the Sands," and Barbara Cook - from the first Carnegie Hall up to Live at the Met. Also, to relax, meditation music; and for fun, lots of Nellie McKay, Blossom Dearie, Christina Aguilera, Carmen McRae, Chet Baker, Piaf, Jimmy Scott, Jane Monheit, Johnny Hartman, Nina Simone, Nora Jones, Sarah Vaughan, Stephane Grappelli, 'Tom Wopat Sings Arlen,' etc. And just so I don't lose total grip with the present(always a danger in this biz), I live on podcasts like Leonard Lopate, NPR, KCRW's "The Business," "NewsHour with Jim Leher" and Joe Morgenstern's "Film Reviews" from WSJ. I wouldn't be surprised if the thousand-plus hours of interviews for my Broadway trilogy ended up available to people as downloadable podcasts one day. Something to think about ...

Brian Stokes Mitchell - Man of La Mancha, Kiss Me, Kate, King Hedley II, Ragtime Floyd Collins by Adam Guettel - the original cast recording. This is the one cast album I never seem to get tired of hearing; Joni Mitchell - "Both Sides Now" - A great album by a great singer-songwriter sung with a voice that has livedl; Alicia Keys - "Songs in A Minor" - great vibe, singing and piano playing; "The best of Tuck and Patti" - Beautiful, simple, romantic - virtuoso singing and guitar playing; To Kill a Mockingbird - by Elmer Bernstein - One of the prettiest film scores of all time; John Buccchino - It's Only Life - a great collection of songs from a very inventive songwriter; Dave Grusin Presents West Side Story - inventive big band jazz arrangements played by Pianist Dave Grusin and his Guys; The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album - One of my favorite singers with one of my favorite pianists of all time; Jason Mraz - "Mr. A-Z" - a really interesting alternative singer/songwriter; African Playground - African songs by African artists for young people - Because my son loves it and so do I!

Lauren Molina - Sweeney Todd I have been on a serious chick rock kick lately. The new albums by The Ditty Bops and Regina Spektor are great for a dose of happy summer songs. I also LOVE Feist, Rilo Kiley, Zero 7, Keren Ann, and Stars. The new Thom Yorke is nice too... For a more involved list of favs: Cinematic Orchestra, Her Space Holiday, Elliot Smith, Fiona Apple, Maria Taylor, Azure Ray, Broken Social Scene, Manitoba, Morcheeba, The Strokes, Air, The Flaming Lips, Aimee Mann, Ani DiFranco, Beck, Arvo Part, Belle and Sebastian, The Boy Least Likely To, Brad Meldhau, LCD Soundsystem, Cat Power, Emily Easterly, The Cure, Daft Punk, Explosions In the Sky, Franz Ferdinand, Gotan Project, Iron &; Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Theivery Corporation, John Coltrane, Jon Brion, Lou Barlow, The Mercury Program....DID I MENTION I LOVE MUSIC??

Euan Morton - Brundibar, Measure for Pleasure, Taboo The great thing about the IPod is that I can have my eclectic music collection all in one tiny box (I say eclectic, some say it's bipolar)! The music that gets the most play though is : Dan Bern, Skunk Anansie, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello, Harry Nilsson, Leonard Cohen, The Carpenters (of course)! And I must admit I do play NewClear...only so I will be so secure on the words I'll never forget them in concert!

Julia Murney - Wicked Tour, Lennon, The Wild Party EVERYTHING's on my iPod-I usually just put it on shuffle in my dressing room and let the songs come out randomly, so if we judge it by last night, Gavin Creel, Edith Piaf, Dolly Parton, James Taylor, U2, Dreamgirls, Foo Fighters, Stevie Wonder, Kate Bush, Billy Porter, Joni Mitchell, Dixie Chicks and the Hair concert recording are on my iPod.

Michael Musto - The Village Voice's 'La Dolce Musto' Jersey Boys (the original ones--the Four Seasons) and Dreamgirls (the original ones--the Supremes). But it's not like I live in the past or anything. I also have brand new releases like South Pacific in Concert and The Essential Judy Garland.

Orfeh - The Great American Trailer Park Musical, Saturday Night Fever, Love, Janis, Footloose My ipod is about 95% R&B, old school as well as new, The entire Prince and Stevie Wonder catalogues, ditto for Joplin, lots of 90's freestyle and dance hits (lots of 15 minute remixes), and with the exception of the Altar Boyz and Hair benefit cast albums, there's not a showtune to be found.

Sara Ramirez - Spamalot, A Class Act, The Capeman Alicia Keys: "If I Ain't Got You," "If I Was Your Woman," "You Don't Know My Name;" Black Eyed Peas: "My Humps;" Coldplay: "Speed of Sound;" The Cure: "Close To Me," "Pictures of You," "Never Enough;" Ella Fitzgerald: "Billie's Bounce;" Gwen Stefani: "Let Me Blow Your Mind," Cool," "Hollaback Girl;" Fiona Apple: "Fast As You Can," "Extraordinary Machine;" Gorillaz: "Feel Good Inc.;" Franz Ferdinand: "Do You Want To;" Frou Frou: "Let Go;" Inara George: "Fools in Love;" Jeff Buckley: "Hallelujah;" John Legend: "Ordinary People;" Joni Mitchell: "A Case of You," "Conversation," "Willy," Judy Holiday: "The Party's Over;" Kanye West: "Touch the Sky," "Heard 'Em Say;" Keith Jarrett: "Someone To Watch Over Me;" Kelly Clarkson: "Since You've Been Gone;" The Killers: "Smile Like You Mean It," "Somebody Told Me," "Believe Me Natalie;" KT Tunstall: "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree;" Laura Nyro: "Eli's Comin," "Stoned Soul Picnic," "Wedding Bell Blues," "Buy and Sell;" Mana: "Mariposa Traicionera," New York Voices: "Round Midnight;" Peggy Lee: "Fever," Pussycat Girls: "Don't Cha," "Stickwitu;" Regina Spektor: "Marry Ann," "Sunshine," "Ode to Divorce," Poor Little Rich Boy," "Carbon Monoxide," "Us;" Sia: "Breathe Me;" Sting: "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You," "Desert Rose;" U2: "City of Blinding Lights;" Whitney Houston: "I Will Always Love You," "I Have Nothing," "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," "How Will I Know," "Greatest Love of All," "All At Once"

Daniel Reichard - Jersey Boys, The Thing About Men, Radiant Baby My taste in music is all over the place--just like my attention span! My iPod shuffles India Arie's new album "Testimony" (truly amazing), the Talking Heads (fun wild times music), Edie Brickell's "Volcano" (honest and heartfelt album), Four Seasons' "Genuine Imitation Life Gazette" (their obscure concept album), Wendy Ho (when I want to laugh), Erykah Badu (a true musical artist), John Denver (love me some JD on the days that I feel the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers), Fleetwood Mac (my favorite rock band), Joni Mitchell (need I explain?) and Stevie Wonder (need I say 'need I explain'?). It's all music that I have picked up from friends, siblings, relationships, and random life moments. That's pretty cool.

Kate Reinders - Good Vibrations, Wicked, Gypsy, Into the Woods, Adventures of Tom Sawyer 1. "Good Day" by The Click Five. What can I say? I love to start the day with some feel-good bee-bop; 2. "I Never" by Rilo Kiley. I sing sing sing along. Although "Portions for Foxes" is clearly a fav too; 3. "You Have Killed Me" by Morrissey. Self-explanatory; 4. "One and Only" by Teitur. Also in love with "I Was Just Thinking"... so sad; 5. "Rock Me" by Liz Phair. But anything Liz Phair is fine with me. Love her; 6. "In n Out" by Tastiskank. That's right. My band with Sarah Litzsinger--it's the first song we ever wrote!

Richie Ridge - Broadway Beat TV Surprise --my taste in music is of course- musical theatre. On my iPod, I have Elvis Presley's awesome live Vegas rendition of "The Impossible Dream", Debbie Reynolds and Liza Minnelli both doing "City Lights," Judy Garland's "Comes Once In A Lifetime" and "As Long As He Needs Me" - Michele Lee singing "He's Good For Me" from Seesaw, all of Hugh Jackman from The Boy From Oz, Harry Connick Jr. and The Pajama Game, Chita and Gwen from Chicago - and of course Jersey Boy's John Lloyd Young singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You." It doesn't get any better than that.

Michael Riedel - New York Post Columnist I don't have an iPod. But what's on my CD player this very minute is Dean Martin's Greatest Hits.

Anne Runolfsson - The Phantom of the Opera, James Joyce's The Dead, Aspects of Love, Les Miserables On my iPod: Artists in alphabetical order, up to the letter G (ala I-Pod); ABBA, Academy of Ancient Music (The Four Seasons), Adam Guettel (Floyd Collins and Light in the Piazza), Adolph Green ("The Bernstein Songbook"), Allison Fraser (The Secret Garden), Amos Lee, Anita O'Day, Anne Runolfsson, Annie Lennox, Anonymous 4, Astrud Gilberto, Audra McDonald, Barbara Cook, Barbara Streisand, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Benny Carter, Benny Green, Bernadette Peters, Betty Comden, Bill Charlap, Bill Evans, Billie Holiday, Billy Eckstein, Billy Joel, Billy Porter, Bing Crosby, Bonnie Raitt, Boris Karloff, Brent Carver (Parade), Brian Kennedy, Brooks Ashmanskas (Songs for a New World), Bruce Hornsby, Buddy Rich, Carolee Carmello (Parade), The Carpenters, Cassandra Wilson, Charlie Parker, Cecelia Bartoli, the Chieftans, Cleo Laine, Daisy Eagan (The Secret Garden), Dave Mathews Band, Debbie Gravitte, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Donna Murphy (Passion), Dr. Evil (Austin Powers), George Gershwin...You're getting the gist, a little bit of everything. Most dear to my heart: the album my 7 year-old daughter made with Garage Band called "ME!"

Lea Salonga - Flower Drum Song, Miss Saigon, Les Miserables What's on my iPod? As expected, there will be showtunes blaring! I also have a good collection of pop, rock, alternative, R&B, electronica, bossa, new age and classical. However, what I most enjoy is the collection of albums of Filipino bands. My favorites (album name in parenthesis): Parokya ni Edgar (Halina sa Parokya), The Dawn (Prodigal Sun and Harapin), Bamboo (Light Peace LOVE), and Sandwich (Five on the Floor). I also keep my voice teacher's sessions loaded for pre-show warm-ups. Lastly, I have lots of Baby Genius albums for the listening pleasure of my little girl Nicole. Quite honestly, I enjoy them too.

Mark Sendroff - Lawyer to the Stars What's on my iPod? Mostly my clients' recordings of the "Great American Songbook," including new and older albums by my beloved Rosemary Clooney and Nancy LaMott, Steve & Eydie, Ann Hampton Callaway, Michael Feinstein, Mimi Hines, Sam Harris, Johnny Rodgers, Jason Robert Brown, Julia Murney, Christine Ebersole, Billy Stritch, Anita O'Day, Bill Charlap, Polly Bergen, Lesley Gore, Marilyn Maye, Nancy Dussault, Jennifer Holliday, Tommy Flanagan, Debby Boone, B. J. Ward, Toxic Audio, Mary Cleere Haran, Margaret Whiting, Randy Graff, Brent Barrett, Karen Mason, Lainie Kazan, Carol Sloane, John Pizzarelli, Rebecca Parris, Keely Smith and Lypsinka (who sounds remarkably like all of the foregoing combined). Also, theatre scores by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman and Andrew Lippa, as well as singers I wish I represented, including Peter Cincotti, Jessica Molaskey, Sandy Stewart and of course, Barbra, Ella, Sarah and Carmen.

Daphne Rubin Vega - Everythings Turning Into Beautiful, Bernarda Alba, Anna in the Tropics, Rent I'm on my iPod. Deep Forest, Pink, Pink Floyd, Manu Chao, Bep, my vocal coach...too much to mention.

John Lloyd Young - Jersey Boys Rufus Wainwright, Mozart's Requiem, The Four Seasons Anthology, Jersey Boys (!), Chicago (the band), lots of great 70s singles, and three mix CDs a fan made me of original recordings of every Leading Actor in a Musical Tony winner since the first Tonys in 1947 all through this year, 2006 -- fascinating.

David Zippel - Princesses, The Woman in White, The Goodbye Girl, City of Angels Don't have an iPod. Afraid that I would spend too much time listening to songs instead of writing them. I do, however, have iTunes, which I use to organize my work and to burn demos. It's indispensable. My low-tech, last century, method of listening to music is the CD. I am currently listening CDs by Nancy LaMott, Barbara Streisand, Steve Tyrell, Stacey Kent, Diana Krall, Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway, Barbara Cook, Rosemary Clooney, Jessica Molasky and John Pizzarelli, Mary Cleere Haran, Nancy Wilson and Mozart.
