I was feeling pretty smug the other day after having spent an hour or so cataloging my cast recording cd's and putting them in alphabetical order on the shelf. I have about 60. I was at rehearsal last night and the director and I are always talking about musicals et al. I asked him how many he has and without batting an eye he said, "700 or so"!!!! I almost peed my pants. He said he has about 150 on vinyl and the rest on cd. He re-bought everything he had on cassette when cd's came out. I have asked him about the most obscure musicals (Bajour - for example) and yup, he has it. I have been able to stump him on a couple( Next To Normal, name of show ) so that makes me feel good!!! LOL!! Course then he goes right out and gets them.

So how many do you have? Do you listen to them regularly? I do. I listen to one every day. I get on binges though. I've listened to WICKED, Billy Eliott, Assasins, Chicago, Urinetown and several others over 100 times. many I have listened to 20 or 30 times. some once! hahaha
