1	Wicked (2003) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Although best remembered for the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum's series of early 20th century novels about the fairyland Oz have inspired a number of theatrical and cinematic adaptations, beginning with a Broadway musical version of The Wizard of Oz for which Baum himself provided the libretto and lyrics that opened in 1903, ... see all copies from £10.45! new only from £10.45!
2	Jersey Boys (2005) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast The success of the musical revue Smokey Joe's Café, which ran on Broadway between 1995 and 2000, and the book musical Mamma Mia!, which opened on Broadway in 2001 and was still running in the fall of 2005, led to a string of so-called jukebox musicals in which pop music catalogs of various performers were recycled in a theatrical context. Many of ... see all copies from £5.91! new only from £7.20!
3	A Chorus Line [Original Broadway Cast] [Bonus Tracks] (1998) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Michael Bennett's 1975 valentine to "gypsies," the dancers who are often treated as so much mobile scenery in Broadway musicals, is sometimes considered to have broken new ground with its frank portraits of talented but frustrated performers. The score by Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban is a favorite of "theater people" everywhere, but was ... see all copies from £5.46! new only from £8.92!
4	Les Miserables [Original Broadway Cast ] (1987) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Originally conceived as a simple recording production, Les Miserables evolved quickly into one of the premiere theater events of the 1980s. Theatrically on par with Phantom of the Opera, Les Mis is drawn from the Victor Hugo novel of the same name. The story chronicles the life of Jean Valjean, a simple Frenchman arrested as a youth for stealing a ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £17.74!
5	Hairspray [Original Broadway Cast] (2002) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast John Waters' engaging 1988 film Hairspray received a musical comedy makeover in 2002 that became a bona fide Broadway hit. The original cast album immediately reveals the foundation of the show's success through its winning combination of clever lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, a bouncy rock & roll sound courtesy of composer Marc Shaiman, ... see all copies from £4.72! new only from £4.72!
6	Spring Awakening (2006) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Lyricist/librettist Steve Sater, who adapted Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play Spring Awakening into a musical along with composer Duncan Sheik, cites the shootings at Columbine as an inspiration to take on the story of adolescent explorations into sex and identity at a German secondary school. It's a telling corollary, since he and Sheik ... see all copies from £10.45! new only from £10.45!
7	Rent [Original Broadway Cast] (1996) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording Songwriter/librettist Jonathan Larson's musical Rent caused a considerable stir in the spring of 1996 -- a stir that included multiple Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for drama, and an open-ended run on Broadway -- because it succeeded in synthesizing a range of popular music styles while telling a story full of contemporary concerns including ... see all copies from £4.73! new only from £19.68!
8	Oliver! [Original Broadway Cast] [Bonus Tracks] (1962) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording Lionel Bart's musical version of Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens's novel of Industrial Revolution London in the late 19th century, was far more entertaining than the subject matter would suggest. The show has Dickens's sad story of poverty and crime, but also one of the strongest scores heard on Broadway in the 60s -- "I'd Do Anything," "Be Back ... see all copies from £5.43! new only from £9.71!
9	Camelot [Original Broadway Cast] [Remastered] (1960) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording Camelot, a musical based on the Arthurian legend, reunited most of the creative talent that produced My Fair Lady, including lyricist/librettist Alan Jay Lerner, composer Frederick Loewe, and leading lady Julie Andrews. Lerner had once again found a story that conformed to his favorite theme, a romantic triangle involving an older man, a younger ... see all copies from £8.30! new only from £8.30!
10	Fiddler on the Roof [Original Broadway Cast] (1964) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's musical Fiddler on the Roof opened on September 22, 1964, in New York. Based on Sholom Aleichem's stories, it tells the tale of Tevye, a Jewish milkman who lives in Russia with his family (including five daughters). The Broadway production originally starred Zero Mostel, who got to sing such songs as "Tradition," ... see all copies from £8.08! new only from £10.04!
11 view cover	Beauty and the Beast [Original Broadway Cast Recording] [Special Edition] (1994) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording Disney's Beauty and the Beast is not the kind of film that needs a direct-to-video sequel, though one has already been made. Every spin-off product which falls short of this classic serves only as a mockery. The best idea by far was to carry the film to Broadway, where it has developed into one of the best examples of a true theatre experience, ... see all copies from £4.62! new only from £9.96!
12 view cover	Hair [Original Broadway Cast] (1968) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording Hair was both celebratory and anticlimactic at the same time. Heralded by many at the time as being a rejuvenation for musical theater, it was also supposed to "speak" for the youth. The problem with that is that any time you attempt to allow a piece of written work to speak for a generation, it invariably fails. It is undoubtedly impossible for ... see all copies from £5.04! new only from £10.04!
13 view cover	The Lion King [Original Broadway Cast] (1997) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording The stage production of Disney's hit film The Lion King isn't drastically different, musically, from the film, adding only a couple of new, unremarkable songs. For dedicated fans of The Lion King, this recording is worthwhile -- the performances are strong, confirming the strength of several of Elton John's songs -- but most listeners will be ... see all copies from £7.80! new only from £7.80!
14 view cover	The Producers [Original Broadway Cast Recording] (2001) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Mel Brooks' The Producers is based on an intriguing conceit -- a musical stage adaptation of a narrative comedy film about a Broadway musical play. It succeeds brilliantly, as the transferred work is funnier than the original film upon which it's based. Brooks reveals himself to be a highly capable songwriter for musical comedy, both satirizing ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £6.80!
15 view cover	Crazy for You [Original Broadway Cast] (1992) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording see all copies from £4.10! new only from £8.46!
16 view cover	Annie [Original Broadway Cast] [Remastered] (1977) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Annie, the popular musical about the little red-headed orphan with a shaggy dog named Sandy, first opened in 1977. The character, however, originated in a comic strip -- Little Orphan Annie, which ran during the depression. The character of Annie has always been a favorite with audiences, and combined with an extremely charming and catchy score by ... see all copies from £7.84! new only from £8.92!
17 view cover	Side Show [Original Broadway Cast] (1997) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording Side Show tells the story of Daisy and Violet Hilton, a pair of Siamese twins who rose from carnivals to cult stardom in vaudeville and in Tod Browning's film, Freaks. The score to the show was composed by Henry Krieger, who is able to make the bizarre subject matter accessible with his music, which is alternately soaring, urgent, and chillingly ... see all copies from £5.71! new only from £10.04!
18 view cover	The Secret Garden [Original Broadway Cast] (1991) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast see all copies from £4.30! new only from £8.92!
19 view cover	Anyone Can Whistle [Original Broadway Cast] [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Anyone Can Whistle, which opened on Broadway on April 4, 1964, and closed after only nine performances on April 11, remained, despite its failure, a memorable show in American musical theater history because of its songwriter, Stephen Sondheim, who went on to write some of the most important shows of the 1970s and '80s, and because of its score, ... see all copies from £6.91! new only from £8.65!
20 view cover	Scarlet Pimpernel [Original Broadway Cast] (1998) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording In 1992, when it had its first recording, Frank Wildhorn and Nan Knighton's The Scarlet Pimpernel was a concept album vaguely based on the novels of Baroness Oczy, but without a real story and largely constructed as a star vehicle for Linda Eder. Nearly six years later, the cast album of the Broadway show (with a libretto by Knighton) that opened ... see all copies from £8.19! new only from £10.79!
21 view cover	Evita [Original Broadway Cast] (1979) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita, which began as a concept album in 1976 and had its first stage incarnation in London in 1978, finally came to the U.S. in 1979 with a production that opened in Los Angeles and moved to San Francisco for multi-week engagements before landing on Broadway on September 25 to begin a Tony-winning, 1,568 ... see all copies from £9.92! new only from £21.21!
22 view cover	Sweeney Todd [Original Broadway Cast] [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Having adapted Ingmar Bergman to the musical theater with A Little Night Music (1973), then traveled to Japan with Admiral Perry in Pacific Overtures (1976), composer Stephen Sondheim remained in the 19th century for his next Broadway musical, Sweeney Todd. It was arguably his most ambitious work yet, and one of his most controversial. For its ... see all copies from £7.17! new only from £16.22!
23 view cover	La Cage aux Folles [Original Broadway Cast] (1983) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Composer Jerry Herman finds much greater depth in this French farce about a club for transvestites in St. Tropez than did the original play or the film, turning it into a virtual proclamation of gay pride ("I Am What I Am"). The score has his typically catchy tunes and slangy lyrics, and it remains touching, perhaps even more so in the age of AIDS ... see all copies from £4.71! new only from £10.04!
24 view cover	Assassins [Original Broadway Cast] (2004) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Songwriter Stephen Sondheim and librettist John Weidman's musical Assassins had a long and difficult history before it arrived on Broadway on April 22, 2004, on its way to winning five Tony Awards, making it the most celebrated show of the 2003-2004 season. The show had its first production Off-Broadway in 1991, but did not transfer to Broadway ... see all copies from £9.57! new only from £9.57!
25 view cover	Damn Yankees [Original Broadway Cast] (1955) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast The Faust legend is retold in sports terms, as a baseball fan sells his soul so his team can win the pennant. Stars Gwen Verdon and Ray Walston. Score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. Highlights: "Whatever Lola Wants," "Heart." William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from £4.04! new only from £10.04!
