Heh, isabel79 saw POTO this weekend, and I'm amused that given the number of times she's seen it, I have not been there for any of them! But given I saw Wicked this weekend, it had me wondering how many musical soundtracks did I have that I haven't actually seen the musical for:

-Avenue Q
-Jersey Boys
-Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
-Spring Awakening

Hey, only four. Hopefully I'll see Priscilla one of the time I'm up in NYC later this year. And I think Avenue Q is still showing on Broadway. But alas, I don't think there's any chance to see Spring Awakening. Though I don't actually have that big an interest in seeing Jersey Boys.

I at least have seen the movie versions of:

-Annie (though i have the music from the remake with Victor Garber, not the original movie)
-Godspell (hey, its back on Broadway! There's this one Disney Flip chick on it. Which is the extent of what I know about this new version)
-Hairspray
-Jesus Christ Superstar
-Little Shop of Horrors (though I hardly remember it)
-Phantom of the Opera (I recently replaced the movie soundtrack version on my ipod with the original cast recording)

But like Spring Awakening, I don't think there's a way to see the stage production versions of some of those anymore.

And the ones where i've seen the actual musical and the movie (if there was one):

-Mamma Mia! (surprisingly, I only have a couple of songs from the actual play, but that's because I already have a lot of Abba on my ipod)
-Rent (its the movie version soundtrack on my ipod, though I do have a song or two from the original cast recording.)
-Rock of Ages
-Wicked

So I guess I have a decent number of Musicals on my ipod. Of course, there's also music from musical movies:

-Across the Universe (it still annoys me that the version of "All You Need" is love on the soundtrack doesn't have the "He loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" in the background at the end- they had it in the movie, and in the original song! Its total BS!)
-Bandslam (And you can be sure I'll be getting the soundtrack to Joyful Noise when that comes out)
-Burlesque
-Camp Rock
-Camp Rock 2
-Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog
-Enchanted (I wasn't sure if I should count this and not other Disney movies, otherwise I'd have to add Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and the Little Mermaid)
-HSM
-Lemonade Mouth

And then if we go to songs from TV shows, I do have every song ever done on Glee (that was released) plus songs from the soundtracks to the musical themed episodes of Buffy, Grey's Anatomy, and Scrubs. Plus, released songs from American Dad, HIMYM, Pushing Daisies (I'm annoyed they never released Chenoweth's version of "Eternal Flame") , Ruby and the Rockets, and Victorious.

Despite all this though, I still think the majority of my music is actual music that gets played on the radio.

I own Aures a trip to see POTO. I'd see it over and over again. So if you're game...

I think I shall send an evite soon re Priscilla. When is a good time? Around TG or Christmas?

And Avenue Q is Off Broadway. I think it's where Altar Boyz used to be.

I may make a list like this... If I have the enegry and I'm bored enough. It would be really long!

P.s. I'm really proud of you for upgrading to the OLC recording of POTO. I love Patrick, but seriously... In retrospect that movie was horrible.
