"Rent" (08/27/1996) Original Cast Original Cast, Dreamworks SKGMusic and lyrics written by Jonathan Larson. Principal cast: Adam Pascal (Roger Davis); Anthony Rapp (Mark Cohen); Jesse L. Martin (Tom Collins); Taye Diggs (Benjamin Coffin III); Fredi Walker (Joanne Jefferson); Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel Schunard); Daphne Rubin-Vega (Mimi Marquez); Idina Menzel (Maureen Johnson); Kristen Lee Kelly, Byron Utley, Gwen Stewart, Timothy Britten Parker, Gilles Chiasson, Rodney Hicks, Aiko Nakasone. Additional personnel: Stevie Wonder. Recorded at Sorcerer Sound and Right Track Recording, New York, New York. Includes a 36-page booklet with a plot synopsis and complete lyrics. RENT was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. This 43-track set includes in its entirety the unlikely opera about AIDS, drugs, squatters, down-and-out artists and (of course) love that won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for drama and went on to knock Broadway off its feet at a time when the Broadway musical was widely assumed to be dead. Like the climactic love song that seems to magically rescue one of the main characters from near-death, RENT itself may well be responsible for bringing Broadway back to life. RENT was written and composed by Jonathan Larson, who died suddenly hours after the final dress rehearsal. Larson's music is almost seamless in the way it quilts together show-tune tradition with current pop styles, reflecting the story's blend of a classical plot (it's loosely based on Puccini's opera "La Boheme") with a thoroughly modern setting. A tango, in which a man and woman compare notes on a lover they have shared, fits comfortably between an electronic dance tune with rapped vocals ("Today 4 U," sung by the play's drag-queen hero) and a rocking entreaty to come "Out Tonight." The latter is sung by Daphne Rubin-Vega, whose coquettish pop voice and sensual presence help her stand out from a great ensemble cast. The play's unexpectedly optimistic message is spelled out in a breathtaking pop song called "Seasons Of Love," which leads off the second act. As a bonus, Stevie Wonder joins the cast for a reprise that puts a soaring coda of hope on this dark opera.

"The Boy From Oz" (11/18/2003) Original Cast Original Cast, Decca (USA)Principal cast includes: Hugh Jackman (Peter Allen); Mitchel David Federan (Young Peter); Beth Fowler (Marion Woolnough); Michael Mulheren (Dick Woolnough); Timothy A. Fitz-Gerald (Chris Bell); Isabel Keating (Judy Garland); Stephanie J. Block (Liza Minnelli). Recorded at Right Track Studios, New York, New York on October 20, 2003. Includes liner notes by Stephen MacLean. Hugh Jackman broke through to stardom as the claw-wielding Wolverine in the X-MEN films. However, Jackman's earlier roles had the charismatic Australian performing in musicals, particularly a 1999 production of OKLAHOMA!, where he portrayed the lead character, Curly McLain. THE BOY FROM OZ marks Jackman's triumphant return to the stage as Peter Allen, the 1970s theater icon (and a fellow Aussie). Although the production features an excellent supporting cast, it's clearly Jackman's show, as he belts out Allen's own tunes, while dancing with a fierce, flamboyant energy. "The Lives of Me" kicks things off with wah-wah guitar riffs and dramatic horn fanfare, before settling into a thoughtful mood that allows the spotlight to shine on Jackman and his emotive vocals. Other numbers ride the roller coaster of Allen's life, from the giddy highs to the tragic lows. Throughout THE BOY FROM OZ, Jackman carries the show, exuding a charm and grace that led to him winning a Tony Award for Best Actor in 2004.

"Passion" (11/19/2002) Original Cast Original Cast, EMI Angel (USA)Original score written by Stephen Sondheim. Principal cast includes: Marin Mazzie (Clara); Jere Shea (Giorgio); Gregg Edelman (Colonel Ricci); Tom Aldredge (Doctor Tambourri); Francis Ruivivar (Lieutenant Torasso); Marcus Olson (Sergeant Lombardi); William Parry (Lieutenant Barri); Cris Groenendaal (Major Rizzolli); George Dvorsky (Private Augenti); Donna Murphy (Fosca); Linda Balgord (Fosca's mother); John Leslie Wolfe (Fosca's father); Matthew Porretta (Ludovic); Juliet Lambert (mistress). Recorded at Hit Factory, New York. Includes liner notes by Michiko Kakutani. PASSION won the 1995 Grammy for Best Musical Show Album. The unnerving tale of Fosca, an ugly, sickly woman, and her love for a handsome but indifferent soldier who is involved with a married woman, PASSION is in many ways Stephen Sondheim's darkest, grimmest show. It is also, however, a moving tribute to the healing powers of love and arguably, his most ambitious work to date. This is no ordinary musical full of showstoppers that will leave the audience humming. Rather, this is a sinuous musical tapestry more suited to the kind of detailed psychological explorations Sondheim is famous for. The score most closely related to PASSION is Sondheim's own SWEENEY TODD. Both are tragic stories of lonely sociopaths whose obsessive behaviour brings about their own destruction as well as the ruin (or near ruin) of those around them. The score features lush orchestration by Sondheim's longtime collaborator, Jonathan Tunick. This original cast album, however, adds twenty-six extra strings to the fifteen-piece orchestra originally used for the Broadway production. This gives the music a greater visceral strength, and musical soliloquies such as "I Read" and the show's centerpiece, "I Wish I Could Forget You," a surging, soaring quality that underscores Fosca's anguish and desire to transcend her limitations.
