I tried that, but I they never interested me and always made me wish I'd seen the performance instead. If I like a show I'll totally buy the album to relive the experience (Spring Awakening is a good example) but it just doesn't work for me the other way around.

You are so not a gay man CP!

I guess I'll have to keep on looking for one.

Nope, SM. I'm as gay as they come, and love show tunes. But the B'way cast recording of a show I've never seen does nothing for me.

I like movie scores, too - and consider many of them the modern equivalent of "classical' music that do not necessarily require the accompanying visuals. But if I haven't seen the movie, the music also does nothing for me.



Sigh, the only thing i miss about living in NYC is the theater. :(

My kingdom for a showtunes queen!

How about your kingdom for a showtunes hag and her showtunesy straight husband? We watch the Tonys every year, and we have quite the collection of original (and revival) soundtracks.

That sounds delightful!
