Cast Recording Recomendations |
"I'm tellin' you, the only times I really feel the presence of God are when I'm having sex and during a great Broadway musical." - Nathan Lane - Jeffrey
<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.
-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.
~Dirty Rotten Scoundrels~
There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.
~Curtains~
It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known.

"You mean what was the best picture of the year or what did they pick as the best picture of the year?" - California Suite
My two biggest reccomendations at the moment are Wedding Singer and Spring Awakening 
two COMPLETELY different shows, but they're both insanely addicting recordings with incredible music and brilliant casts!
oh and See What I Wanna See too!

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
i highly recommend the film version over the obc of rent cos it was slow and boring, admitted by the cast themselves.
No. The cast themselves never admitted the OBCR was "slow and boring". Some of them have said they prefer the movie soundtrack because of the production and the more relaxed recording experience. Not the same thing. But the original poster already has Rent, so it's kind of a moot point on this thread.
Based on the ones mentioned atop? I'll reiterate Spring Awakening and See What I Wanna See, and add Hedwig and the Angry Inch (either recording, though I prefer the movie soundtrack) and Taboo (Broadway version, if you like Raul Esparza from TTB).
I want to recommend the Actors Fund Benefit of Chess, but keep forgetting that was never released. The Actors Fund Benefit Recording of Hair is a good bet, too.
Of course you need Sondheim, but some recordings are much easier to understand than others. I had to study Sweeney Todd to really make the recordings of that work for me. My own personal Baby's First Sondheim, the one recording that I got immediately, was the revival recording of Assassins.
