If you had to choose just one.
For me, right now, it's probably the Gypsy 2008 revival recording.

I suppose going back to my childhood the OBCR's GYPSY and FLOWER DRUM SONG and the Reader's Digest studio cast of BABES IN TOYLAND are the recordings that I have played most frequently. Even today I would not want to eb without any of these.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

I find myself on the same page as FRONTROWCENTRE2. Two albums that I never tire of are the OBCR of GYPSY and the OBCR of FLOWER DRUM SONG. The latter may come as a surprise to some since it has been labeled as politically incorrect, a charge that I don't agree with. How many people who make that charge have seen the original production of FLOWER DRUM SONG in 1959? The score is so likable, with the standouts being "Like a God", "Love Look Away", and the humorous nightclub scene with the MC scoring.
I would add the complete OBCR of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA whose music soars every time I play it. These 3 albums could sustain me on a desert island.

and in my soul I found the song, and in my friends

OWC Rudolf. Anytime I drive anywhere, there it is, humming away in the car; it's been there for the last 2.5 yrs (since it came out) and I have yet to tire of it.
Other musicals I will cycle through times of interest and disinterest when I listen, then put that CD away and pull out a new one, but not this.
Honorable mention to the 10AC Tanz der Vampire. If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, it'd be Rote Stiefel / das Gebet...

Posted: 10/3/11 at 9:38amI would choose the cast recording that most effectively transports me back to the experience of seeing the show live, and for me, that would be The Drowsy Chaperone.
