The Musical Theatre Soundtracker Project - introduction

Lately I've been feeling like I keep listening to the same musical theatre soundtracks over and over and that I fancy a change so I came up with 'The Musical Theatre Soundtracker Project'. The aim of this is to dig up some soundtracks currently unfamiliar for me and to widen my knowledge of musicals. I will do this by embarking onto a month's soundtrack-a-day period starting on the 1st October. Every day I will listen to a musical theatre soundtrack on Spotify which I have never before listened to in its entirety. I will also find a little bit of background information about the show in question because I feel that's important and will be useful for me. I intend to post a short blog each day including a description and my views on the soundtrack. I'll try to pick out musicals from various eras and styles and I think I will end up embarrassing myself by admitting to having not listened to some pretty famous stuff... 

Stay tuned! :)

  1. Sounds exciting! Maybe I'll find something new to listen to too, via your project. I always get stuck on a couple of albums too. I've been listening to nothing but highlights from various Les Mis recordings and Avenue Q for the past month (a weird combo, yeah). I might need something fresh to listen to... :P

    1. Yay! I'm hoping other musical theatre people will find it interesting too :) Even if they know the show or the soundtrack it might encourage another listen or give a little bit more insight or something maybe...
      Not doing too badly on 'Les Mis' and 'Avenue Q' though, those are two of the ones I keep returning too as well... :P

  2. Hei tämä on hieno projekti! Pitäisi itsekin oikeastaan tehdä jotain vastaavaa ja vähän taas laajentaa omaa perspektiiviä. Harrastin tätä samaa jonkun verran gradua kirjoittaessani, kun piti tutustua teoksiin, joista puhuttiin kirjoissa. Kutsuin tätä "aikuisten satukasetti" -menetelmäksi; Spotifysta soundtrack ja Wikipediasta juoni. :) Jään kiinnostuksella seuraamaan sinun lokakuun löytöjäsi!
