As both a self-proclaimed theatre geek and a college student, I am always listening to cast albums and soundtracks, no matter where I am or what I’m doing. Especially during exam season, these albums help me to relax and focus when I am studying or walking to classes, and they also help relieve my anxiety about upcoming exams. This year, I have been consistently listening to five cast albums that have been bringing me joy in my studies as we approach midterm exams here at Fordham University. I thought I would share these albums here to (hopefully) give you some new music to add to your playlist and lifestyle!

Here are a few top picks to consider this week including Spring Awakening star John Gallagher, Jr., a Baby concert featuring an all-star cast to support Planned Parenthood, Liz Callaway's Stephen Schwartz album release concert and more.
