A few years ago, 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. With a couple of exceptions, almost every 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.
