Looking for Stars who haven been on broadway in musicals that have their own solo albums that have show tunes on the album for example...
A Love Letter To Stephen Sondheim: Judy Collins
Brian Stokes Mitchell Simply Broadway
Where It All Began Matthew Morison
Any ideas all are welcome

Patti LuPone and Bernadette Peters have recorded various solo albums with show tunes.
Honestly, the list is endless.

I was gonna say, is this a joke? I personally have produced a ton of B'way singer solo albums starting in 1993 with Liz Callaway. Back then it was pretty dormant save for Bernadette and Patti and Barbara Cook. But within a couple of years everyone was doing 'em again. Funny how that works.

My favorites are all of Liz Calloway's albums (Anywhere I Wander is my favorite) and the Emily Skinner/Alice Ripley albums.
Of the Skinner/Ripley albums, the best are the first two duet albums. The Live albums (Town Hall & 54 Below) aren't as good IMO because they don't do as many duets There is some fun and funny patter RE: "I Miss the Mountains", previewed at the Town Hall concert before Next to Normal had opened.

He's in the Broadway company of Phantom, has a phenomenal voice, and tours as part of a trio called "The Unreachable Stars". They just came back from a very successful run in Asia.

Kristin Chenoweth has a couple of albums, but I think that her last, The Art of Elegance, has something that no one else’s has: national air play via the Sinatra channel of Sirius Satellite. That channel is run by the Sinatra family, and especially daughter Nancy.
She did one of those “Playing Favorites” segments where the host has an hour to play her favorite Sinatra songs, as well as favorite standards by others, and can include one or two of her own recordings. Kristin pretty shamelessly plugged her new album during the hour and surprise, it wound up on the channel’s play list.
I know Nancy loves “I Get Along Without You Very Well,” and Kristin’s recording of that song is really good. Nancy not a big fan of Broadway. She thinks that they should put up a statue of Frank because if he hadn’t recorded and popularized a lot of the songs from now forgotten musicals by Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter, et al., then the songs would have been forgotten too. She might have a point, but Ella Fitzgerald in her famous Songbook series in the 50s pretty much included all those songs.
