<p>Everyone post your favorite Broadway soundtracks. I'll start
Annie( my original obsession lol)
Wicked(my new obsession)
Fiddler on the Roof
Grease
Beauty and the Beast
Chicago
Hairspray
Oklahoma
Mamma Mia
Producers
Thats all I can think of right now.</p>
<p>They're usuallly referred to as "Original Cast Recordings" and not "soundtracks". Soundtracks are for movie music. But you will find record stores putting Broadway shows in the soundtracks area.</p>
<p>My favorite OBCR's</p>

Wicked
Hairspray
Aida
Kiss Me Kate

<p>okmom - I just ordered the Footloose original Broadway Cast CD from ebay! Thanks so much. My son is going to the OCU summer program in a week and they are doing Footloose. Do you have a child going to the program also? Eric has a Footloose movie soundtrack CD, but he really wants the Broadway CD. He and I have both spent time looking for one. We found the same one on Amazon.com that chrisr found. I thought it was selling for $50, but maybe they dropped the price. I found one on an ebay store in the UK. It will probably never get to us before we head to Oklahoma next week, but I tried!</p>
<p>This was wonderful info., and I had never registered with ebay. I know people who are as addicted to ebay as I am to this forum. Also, your valuable information will make Eric realize why this forum is so valuable to us!</p>
<p>chrisr - I was thinking your son is already going to OCU in the fall. Is he also doing the summer program? I thought it was just for high school but I could be wrong. </p>
<p>okmom and chrisr - you are welcome to email me.</p>
<p>I've been listening to Footloose constantly, it's getting me even more excited and impatient to leave!! I've been belting out "Let's Here it for the Boy" non-stop, plus the fact that jeremy kushnier's voice sends chills down mine spine at certain points isn't so bad either lol.</p>
<p>ericsmom - even though we live in oklahoma city, my daughter has not been to the camp at ocu. she has several friends who have gone and are going and they love it. i know your son will have a great experience. lyric theatre of oklahoma did footloose a couple of years ago and my daughter was in the ensemble. she graduated in may and is headed to shenandoah in the fall. glad i was able to help. we have bought a lot of broadway cast recordings from ebay.</p>
<p>The Whos Tommy
Rent
Smoky Joes Cafe
Chess
Aint Misbehavin</p>
<p>Obviously I'm more of a rock chick. haha</p>
<p>Notarebel, which Chess OCR are you addicted to? - London or US?</p>
<p>I saw the production in London twice years ago (that's how much I LOVED it - would you believe it was 1988?) and was devastated by how they changed the show when they brought it over to the US. I have both versions, but in my opinion the US version pales in comparison to the London recording. If you haven't heard it, I urge you to check it out.</p>
<p>Theatermom - It's the London cast. I haven't heard the US one. I used "Heaven Help My Heart" as one of my audition pieces. :)</p>

And it was like butta! :) <3 <3 <3</p>
<p>has anyone seen spamalot? i loved it... i think that's my favorite bway recording right now.
(of course they change almost weekly with me)</p>
<p>Saw it yesterday and it was hilarious! I was worried that we would get understudies for 4th of July weekend (apparently Norbert Leo Butz is gone from DRS all the 3rd througth the 9th. That was my other choice so I'm very happy!), but it was all original cast (minus Hank Azaria who is gone on extended leave, but I knew that going in.) We had front row center tickets and I have to say that Sara Ramirez is amazing. That close her voice was like a physical force coming at me.</p>
<p>For those of you who have the CD, but haven't seen the show, the CD doesn't do it justice. I'm a Monty Python fan and of course all the classic scenes from Holy Grail were present, but I was blown away at the amount of subtle musical theatre references strewn throughout the show.</p>
<p>I don't think everyone in the audience got them, but I was the only one in the audience who burst into laughter when Prince Herbert burst into song singing</p>
<p>"AND ANOTHER HUNDRED PEOPLE JUST CONTRACTED THE PLAGUE!"</p>
<p>I don't think anyone else knew what it was from...</p>
<p>There are tons of other moments like that, which you can't get on the CD, but I won't spoil the surprises. I'm here all month for a summer theatre program, and I wanna try and catch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Light in the Piazza, and Spelling Bee. Having not seen those shows yet I can't comment on them, but if you can get your hands on tickets to Spamalot you won't be dissappointed.</p>
