A collection of some of the best musical that you MUST have on CD!


I have always LOVED musicals and If you're a musical theatre enthusiast, you know that the magic of the stage can transcend time and space, leaving you captivated by powerful stories, unforgettable melodies, and show-stopping performances. To celebrate the wonderful art form, I have compiled a list of 6 must-have albums that every musical theatre lover should add to their collection. These albums are timeless classics, representing the very best of the genre and showcasing the brilliance of musical storytelling. Without further ado, let's dive into the musical treasures that belong on your shelf!


Be mindful that when and if you choose to purchase these CD's scammers exist everywhere unfortunately. I highly recommend purchasing these CD's in a common music store in your area.


Hamilton


Hamilton needs no introduction. Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical has taken the world by storm with its inventive blend of hip-hop, rap, and traditional show tunes. The album perfectly captures the energy and wit of the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning production, making it an absolute must for any musical theatre aficionado. I have had the CD since it dropped and have not regretted it EVER! All 46 songs are on the CD and you can purchase it in major music stores or online, just be mindful of scammers!



Les Miserables


A true classic that has touched the hearts of millions, "Les Misérables" offers a sweeping score and a powerful story of love, redemption, and revolution. Featuring unforgettable songs like "I Dreamed a Dream" and "One Day More," this album will transport you to 19th-century France with every listen.



Phantom of The Opera


Andrew Lloyd Webber's timeless masterpiece, "The Phantom of the Opera," has been enchanting audiences since its debut in 1986. The haunting melodies, dramatic vocals, and captivating plot make this album a must-have for any musical theatre lover. My best friend and I listen to this music 1,000 times we have never tired from it! Get the CD today, its great!


Wicked


Before you go and say "ugh so over-rated" just stop and take yourself on a journey to the magical land of Oz with "Wicked," a spellbinding prequel to "The Wizard of Oz." You know you need it. The album features powerful vocals and a stunning score, including the show-stopping "Defying Gravity," which has become an anthem for empowerment.


Dear Evan Hansen


Get ready to sob because "Dear Evan Hansen" tackles sensitive themes of mental health and the search for acceptance in a digital age. With a heartwarming score and emotionally charged performances, this album will leave you touched and moved, it's a positive purchase for a CD!


Hairspray


Back in the day (cough cough) I got the opportunity to play little Inez in this musical, what a treat and certainly a musical I would audition for and a MUST HAVE for the CD collection. With its infectious energy and message of inclusion, "Hairspray" celebrates diversity and the power of standing up for what's right. The album is packed with catchy tunes that will have you dancing in your seat.



Get on your feet and get ready to groove to your CD's once you purchase them. Comment below if you already have these to help others who may not have them decide if they should get them now or later!
