Last year, I made the conscious decision to keep a log of the albums\u00a0(cast recordings, movie musical soundtracks, solo albums, live concert recordings, etc) that I listened to in their entirety. I decided to do it again in 2016. Each recording\u00a0is linked to its own page on castalbums.org<\/a> (a site I highly recommend for serious collectors of theatre music). An\u00a0asterisk indicates a recording I listened to for the first time).<\/p>\n
