Suggestions for 3 New Cast Recordings#1
Posted: 11/6/06 at 5:41pm
So basically, Chanukkah's coming up soon and my mom wants me to make a list. What cast recordings would you recommend for me? I already have over 100, which I unfortunately can't list now. But the list is vast. I like operas and operettas, but I also like some more rockish musicals. From the criteria I just said, I already have Rent, Tick Tick Boom, Rocky Horror, The Light in the Piazza, Sweeney Todd and Bare. I love Jason Robert Brown, and I already own L5Y, Parade, Songs for a New World and Someone Else's Clothes. Any suggestions are welcome!

LES MIZ, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, MISS SAIGON and WEDDING SINGER. BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY is amazing, too.

I suggest the new ACL cast recording, and the old one. ANY ACL cast recording ever made, ever. Oh, and Harry on Broadway, and PLEASE get Spelling Bee, and Avenue Q. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is worth a listen, too. Maybe even Aida.
Yay for Chanukah! I'm Jewish too! Happy holidays, and happy listening!

Thanks everyone! I own a lot of these, but I'm looking at the ones I don't own (I own Ragtime and I love it!).
