The Scarlet Pimpernel: The New Musical Adventure - Original Broadway Cast RecordingThe Scarlet Pimpernel: The New Musical Adventure - Original Broadway Cast Recording
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.55
I haven't actually seen this, but I've read the script. It's hilarious. And the music is just...wow. Escpecially "Madame Guillotine" and "The Riddle," but they're all AWESOME. I don't have a favorite.
Thoroughly Modern Millie (2002 Original Broadway Cast)Thoroughly Modern Millie (2002 Original Broadway Cast) by Jeanine Tesori
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $4.11
This one is another hilarious one...I thought the Chinese guys were hilarious. "Mammy" and "Forget About the Guy" were my personal favorites.
Oliver! (Deluxe Edition) (1963 Original Broadway Cast) [CAST RECORDING]Oliver! (Deluxe Edition) (1963 Original Broadway Cast) [CAST RECORDING] by Various Artists
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.96
This is, like, the only Oliver CD could find. It's really good, but the Fagin I saw was 63 times better, and the Bumbles were way funnier. But this is still good.

When I saw this, Barry Dennen was Herod. And he was the best Herod ever. He's also the best Pilate, and Judas' "Heaven on Their Minds" has to be one of my favorite songs.
The Scarlet Pimpernel: Encore! (1998 Broadway Revival Cast)The Scarlet Pimpernel: Encore! (1998 Broadway Revival Cast) by Frank Wildhorn
Buy new: $13.96 / Used from: $5.99
This is more like the newer versions of the musical, but it's still not the same as the musical now, which stinks. Rachel York is a good Marguerite, but she sounds a little snobby at times.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast: The Broadway Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)Disney's Beauty and the Beast: The Broadway Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording) by Alan Menken
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.99
I saw this like three weeks after it came out on Broadway when I was four, and remember so much of it, and this CD is just great. (Also, when I saw it on tour, Susan Egan was Belle!! Really!!)
Wicked (2003 Original Broadway Cast)Wicked (2003 Original Broadway Cast) by Kristin Chenoweth
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $7.59
Idina Menzel is AWESOME. All the songs were great, but she really caught my attention. (I think she won the Tony for Best Actress, too...yay!)
Les Miserables (1987 Original Broadway Cast)Les Miserables (1987 Original Broadway Cast) by Alain Boublil
Buy new: $32.49 / Used from: $8.94
This, I think is the worst of the Les Mis CDs, if you can call it that. Well, it's not my favorite, but it's really good nonetheless.
Les Miserables (1985 Original London Cast)Les Miserables (1985 Original London Cast) by Alain Boublil
Buy used from: $8.99
This Les Mis CD is just kinda in the middle. Frances Ruffelle was great on this one, though, as was Colm.
Les Miserables - The Musical That Swept the World (10th Anniversary Concert at the Royal Albert Hall)Les Miserables - The Musical That Swept the World (10th Anniversary Concert at the Royal Albert Hall) by Alain Boublil
Buy used from: $13.99
This CD is probably my second favorite Les Mis CD. It would be first, but I hated how so much was cut out. Ruthie Henshall ROCKS!
Les Miserables - The Complete Symphonic RecordingLes Miserables - The Complete Symphonic Recording by Alain Boublil
Buy used from: $26.95
This is my favorite, bacause it's complete. Anthony Warlow and Michael Maguire compete for first place as Enjolras. (But Warlow's "Let others rise" is better definitely. :D)
Honk!: A Musical Comedy (1998 English Pantomime Cast)Honk!: A Musical Comedy (1998 English Pantomime Cast) by George Stiles
I just got introduced to this musical, and it's awesome. I like "It's a poultry tale" and "Warts and All" the best.
