Had the 2018 recording of Songs for a new world on repeat since Sunday.
Album is not quite as good as Sunday, but still amazing!

A little to the party, but I’m newly obsessed with Hadestown - I have the OBCR and earlier live version on rotation at the moment.

Me and My Girl. I'm not quite sure how I ended up on it, but I'm enjoying it! It's quite light, so easy to have on in the background.
It has a good overture too. I could quite happily listen to an album just of overtures actually — I really like they play with the music and instruments in them.

In a moment of sheer boredom last week I put Frozen 2 on Disney+ and ‘Show Yourself’ has shown itself to me. ‘Into the Unknown’ is already a banger (more the Panic! version than Idina) but ‘Show Yourself’ has layers and is really quite lovely.

I have never been a fan of Chicago seen the stage production several times both in the West End and tour. It was never a West End musical and more of a tourist trap IMHO. I have never seen the Oscar winning movie?
Anyway listening to Elaine Paige a lot on BBC sounds and can listen to the same episode several times. A song got played I wasn’t aware of and it blew me away and this song is ‘I Move On’ from the Chicago movie. Has this song ever been incorporated in the the stage production? It is the best song from the show.

You should watch the film though, I think it’s brilliant. |

I'm cheating really as its not a cast recording.
Never thought I'd say this but I'm currently listening to Gary Barlow!!! I know!.
Music Played by Humans.
Its rather good and a real mix of material and styles with some duets.
Quite uplifting.

I tried listening to The Boy In The Dress. It sounds like it was spat out by a simulator.

I have a rule that I can't listen to the soundtrack of a show until I've seen it live (so haven't listened to anything new since March!).
But I have an ongoing Spotify playlist that I've added the best songs from all the shows and films I've seen. I realised there is at least 1 song in every show that I skip so it made sense to make a playlist of highlights rather than dozens of full albums. So I just put that on random a few times a week and reminisce. It's 116 hours long! I didn't realise I'd seen quite so much 😂

Just downloaded the netflix ‘Prom’ soundtrack for the drive to work. There do appear to be lots of songs sung by Corden so it might not last long.
NB Lasted 3 songs.

Strangely, I thought James Corden vocally was actually ok. I get the feeling his whole performance is going to be very offensive though 😬

Has anyone acquired the new Anyone Can Whistle recording from JAY? It's gorgeous. Wonderful cast with the divine Julia McKenzie at the height (or end) of her great musical career as Cora.

It's on my crimbo list and I can't wait to listen to it. This morning I tried to listen to Boy in the dress - hurry up father Christmas as Robbie Williams is no substitute for Uncle Steve! |

I downloaded bits of it today. I don't know..I thought it was pretty bland for the most part and everyone sounded like they were sight reading.

My Spotify Wrapped tells me that I have mostly been listening to the Musik, Prince of Egypt and Phantom cast recordings which doesn't surprise me, but does give me an excellent new playlist exactly in the order that I love the songs I listen to!
