I wanted to add a gentle warning to the OP because I knew that we had a poster here who _HATES_ when the word “soundtrack” is used for what is properly called a “cast recording” (“soundtrack” is for movies), then I thought I might as well do a search and remind myself of which poster I was remembering.

Looks like it was **Annie-Xmas** :

Anyway, I really like the soundtrack to the 90s revival of _Damn Yankees_ and the soundtrack to the 90s revival of _Chicago_ because both feature Bebe Neuwirth.

The 1982 recording of the cast of _Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat_ is one of my all time favorite Broadway soundtracks.
