Under the guise of "market research," I would very much like to know the following:
What is your favorite Broadway soundtrack?
Maybe you've gotten the pleasure of seeing the show, maybe you haven't- I don't care. I just want to know which one you like the best. If you have only seen the movie version of it, that's fine- go for it!
Please tell me!
I'll give you a few musicals to kick start your mind- feel free to stray from this list. Keep in mind these refer to the Broadway version, not the movie version, where applicable.
-Wicked
-The Lion King
-Mary Poppins
-Chicago
-Jersey Boys
-Hairspray
-Cats
-Sweet Charity
-Camelot
-Spamalot
Listen (it's some annoying cartoon someone put together- I couldn't find a video of the song being performed, but it is the song I want you hear) to this great song from Spamalot (sung by David Hyde Pierce) about how to succeed on Broadway while you think about your decision(s).

it's a tie for me between camelot and rent. weird and trendy, i know. but hey, i like what i like.
Hmmm, I like that. Definitely did not see you as a Camelot person!
AHHHHHH!!!!! I have to choose JUST ONE????
I listen to Spamalot the most - I love the songs in Wicked and my old favorite is Fiddler on the Roof or Camelot.
I'm a big fan of Big River, Rent, & The Music Man
Oh! & Avenue Q is pretty brilliant, too.
Wicked
Funny Girl
Annie (it takes me back to my youth)
Cabaret
and my new fav....Spring Awakening
-Ryan

Hey ryan! thanks for stopping by! (everybody loves kick backs to childhood- that's why i'm holding on to my dream of some ruby slippers... MOM)
I won't pretend to be a musical aficionado, but I really like the Wicked soundrack! And I must agree with Mama Flewellen, Fiddler on the Roof holds a dear place in my heart! If I were a rich man...dadeedadeedadeedadeedadeedum...
(Do NOT confuse this with the stupid Gwen Stefani version...blah...how dare she defile that song! Dumb Gwen, with your blonde hair and your brown eyebrows! Ick!)
I love the Les Mis soundtrack the most I think. But then there's Hairspray and Miss Saigon that I like also. And selected pieces from the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
