Of the cast recordings you've bought over the last year, which do you feel were the best choices?
I got a ridiculous array of iTunes gift cards for Christmas, so I bought nine cast recordings... not all of which I feel were necessarily a great usage of my money. But I'm so happy that I got the OBCRs for Ragtime, Light in the Piazza, and Evita. (Yeah, odd combination, I know.)

Once its released, I know the answer will be Next To Normal, but besides that...
Definitely Bat Boy and Songs For A New World. Not sure how it took me so long to get those two, but I adore them both.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

My most recent cast recording is the Marvelous Wonderettes. I enjoy it so much. According to me amazon.com account I've only bought two for myself in the past year. Marvelous Wonderettes and A Catered Affair. Gosh, is that it? I've bought others for my sister. I, also, bought Natalie Toro's solo album which rocks.
Paul Byrom's solo album has some Broadway stuff on it and that was a great purchase as well.

I'm gladdest I've boughten Passing Strange and LuponeGypsy and can't pick one over the other because they are so different and can't beevaluated for which one is more better.
Also they are the onlycast recordings I've boughten in a year.

Posted: 4/3/09 at 10:05amMy grammar may stink, but I've never said 'boughten' in my life. That's my sister's job. I swear it's her favorite word.
