A couple years ago I realized that shuffle made it easier for me to have my own portable radio but made me less likely to listen to complete albums. Around this time, I made\u00a0a conscious decision to keep\u00a0a log of the musical theatre-related albums I listened to in their entirety throughout the calendar year. Each recording\u00a0is linked to its own page on\u00a0castalbums.org<\/a>\u00a0(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
