As many of you probably know, Footlight Records will now be web-based only. There's a 30% sale going on at their website right now (except for new releases and rare items).
I'm taking this opportunity to buy CDs that I wouldn't be able to buy elsewhere. Here's what I'm buying:
Bark!
I Am Anne Frank
I And Albert (I've always been curious about this show-I know it didn't get the best of reviews, but I'm interested in a musical about Queen Victoria.)
A Little Princess
Little Women (not the score from the recent Broadway production-this is an original work produced by the Houston Grand Opera in 2000, and it got terrific reviews)
Miss Gulch Returns-The Wicked Musical (I have *no* idea what this is going to turn out to be)
Looking forward to discovering new musicals! If you have heard some of these recordings and think they're awful, don't tell me yet!

Jenn, I don't know whether to thank you or damn you. I had heard something about the store closing, but it had slipped my mind and I really wasn't aware of the sale. I've now ordered an embarrassingly huge amount of stuff--but it's a sale, so I'm actually SAVING money, right?
I won't list everything I ordered, but I did get "Miss Gulch Returns." I've never heard of it either, but how can you resist a show with songs entitled "I'm a Bitch" and "Pour Me a Man?"

Karen-
But we're supporting a company that needs us now more than ever!
Is that better?
I'm going on a car trip, so I needed some new stuff to listen to (unfortunately, Bernadette's new CD won't be out by the time I leave, but it is being delivered to where I'm staying, so I'll have it for the drive home.). I had to stop around the Ps and I deleted some CDs from my cart.
I'm also interested in "Give My Best to the Blonde" song from Miss Gulch Returns.

I've been a bad, bad girl. I keep telling myself that I need to expand my collection and that I need these CDs for my drive to New Orleans. As for the magazines...well...they're educational.
A Tale of two Cities
The Wizard of Oz: Vintage Recordings From the 1903 Broadway Musical
Valentino
Vanity Fair
Wuthering Heights
You Never Know (Kristin Chenoweth! Donna McKechnie! Singing Cole Porter!)
The Dramatist May/June 2005
The Dramatist July/August 2004
The Dramatist January/February 2005
The Sondheim Review Summer 2003 (I buy TSR at a local newsstand, but I don't have many back issues)

Now cut that out! Stop torturing us poor cash-strapped souls with mentions of previously unheard-of but now must-have recordings.
Kristin Chenoweth singing "Let's Misbehave?" I was perfectly happy in blissful ignorance of its existence, but now I simply can't live without it. Enough. Stop the madness!

I'm done. I promise! My credit card will explode (I rarely splurge like this, and I only have one credit card). It's going to take me some time to go through the recordings, because I like to listen to each one several times before I move on to the next one (unless it's truly horrible). And some of these are double CDs.
What did *you* get, Karen? I want to know!
I'm really excited about the Little Women/Houston Grand Opera recording. I've heard a lot about it, and I was thrilled that there was a recording. The HGO (the only opera company to have won a Tony, two Grammys, and two Emmys) also recorded its Of Mice and Men production, but that's for another time. Also the I Am Anne Frank recording-very curious to see how that goes.
