Few electronic devices have caught on in recent years as fast as Apple's iPod's have. Since their release in 2002, more than 42 million iPods have been sold. In fact, for the first quarter of this year, they estimated 100 iPods were being sold a minute. That's why you can't walk more than a block in the city without seeing at least one pair of little white headsets.

To celebrate the success of this nearly ubiquitous device, and since so many of us equate summer fun with listening to some great tunes, it seemed like the perfect time to poll 40 favorites in the theatre world with the simple question of "What's on your iPod?" Looking through the responses, what's certain is that the taste of those on and around the Great White Way is as varied (if not more so!) than the shows on Broadway. Check back every day for the next 40 days for new entries and join in the fun by talking about what's on your iPod on the BroadwayWorld Message Board.

David Abeles - MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET "Socks" by Dan Mills. It's so happy and catchy - a great tune for summer. Dan (who understudies the role of Carl Perkins in MDQ) is a good friend and an amazingly talented singer/songwriter. "Take Me Out" by Atomic Tom. I first discovered them from their famous youtube video and immediate became a fan. The whole album rocks. "Halleluiah, I Love Her So" by Ray Charles. One of my piano idols, there's no one better than Ray. And since I'm a newlywed as of June, this song pretty much sums it up :)

Jacqueline B. Arnold - PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT "Woodstock" and "Love Endeavor" by ALice Smith; Martin Sexton; and "Precious" by Esperanza Spalding.

Erica Ash - BABY IT'S YOU! I keep it all the way funky with an eclectic mix that ranges from hip-hop to jazz. I listen to the same mix every time I play my iPod and add a new song only if I can't get it out of my head. What's in the mix?: A little Erykah Badu, Lil' Wayne, Nina Simone and Chris Brown. Favorite songs?: "Look At Me Now" by Chris Brown; "I'm Single" by Lil' Wayne; "Four Women" by Nina Simone; and "The Healer"/"Back In The Day" by Erykah Badu. They keep my head boppin' when I'm riding the train or working out.

Annaleigh Ashford - RENT, HAIR, LEGALLY BLONDE, WICKED "Spirit in the Dark" by Aretha Franklin and "Way Over Yonder" by Carole King.

Kyle Barisich - THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA "Call Your Girlfriend" by Robyn; "Do It Again" by Holy Ghost; "Don't Gotta Work It Out" by Fitz and the Tantrums; and "Fashion of His Love" by Lady Gaga!

Scott Barnhardt - THE BOOK OF MORMON, BIG RIVER A friend just turned me on to the New Orleans jazz/funk band Galactic. I'm a little bit obsessed with their album, Ya-Ka-May.

Derrick Baskin - MEMPHIS, THE LITTLE MERMAID, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE "Ponta de Areia" by Esperanza Spalding from the album Esperanza; "Walking" by Mary Mary from the album Something Big; and "Love Gun" by Cee Lo Green from the album The Lady Killer.

Brad Bass - JERSEY BOYS Currently my top songs for the summer are "Raise Your Glass" by P!nk; "Don't You Remember" by Adele; and "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under" by Shania Twain.

Erik Bates - JERSEY BOYS, MISS SAIGON I am listening to "White Room" by Cream and "My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion" by The Flaming Lips.

Hinton Battle - Chicago, Miss Saigon, The Tap Dance Kid, Sophisticated Ladies, Dancin', The Wiz, Something Different Angie Stone ("Wish I Didn't Miss You"), Donnie McClurkin ("Holy, Holy, Holy"), Common ("Testify")...there it is.

David Beach - MAMMA MIA!, URINETOWN, MOON OVER BUFFALO "Gotta Have You" by The Weepies; "I Have Found" by Carolee Carmello; "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele; "She Must Be Beautiful" by Janis Ian; "Simple Little Things" by Audra McDonald; "With Plenty of Money and You" by Tony Bennett; "I Have Found" by Carolee Carmello; Rossini's "Non piu mesta" (from Cenerentola) by Cecila Bartoli; "I Won't Last a Day Without You" by The Carpenters; "Dimming of the Day" by Anastasia Barzee (the rough cut); and The Andante from Brahms 2nd Piano Concerto by Rudolf Serkin.

Shoshana Bean - Wicked, Hairspray What's NOT on my iPod is a better question! I think I have almost 4000 songs. I guess the most popular is my workout playlist for the gym! It gets the most play, and has a lot of J. Lo remixes, Pink, Keyshia Cole, 50 Cent, Michael Jackson, that kind of stuff. But the songs in heaviest rotation now would be India Arie's new album, Corinne Bailey Rae, Christina Aguilera's single, and my friend Tituss Burgess' new album! Oh, and I just got an oooooooold album off Amazon--"Night Rangers' Greatest Hits"--they were the first concert I ever went to...with my dad.

Tade Biesinger - BILLY ELLIOT "All the Pennies" by Mindy Gledhill; "Set Fire to the Rain" by Adele; and "California" by Mindy Gledhill

Larry Blank - Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me, The Drowsy Chaperone, La Cage aux Folles I like to listen to the current batch of stuff on Broadway...so there's Wicked, Drowsy Chaperone, lots of Adam Guettel and Jason Robert Brown, lots of different Broadway overtures from various eras...since I'm a constant student of theatre orchestration. I travel a lot, and tend to reload my iPod for each trip with stuff that I think will add to my thought processes for whatever I'm working on.

Larry Blank - Orchestrator of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, "All The Things You Are"; "I Wish I Could Forget You"; and "My Friends."

Stephanie J. Block - WICKED, 9 To 5, THE PIRATE QUEEN, THE BOY FROM OZ ANYTHING Adele; "I Just Might" from Dolly Parton's Better Day album (brings back great memories); and James Taylor LIVE album 1 & 2. JT is always my "go to" artist.

Sierra Boggess - MASTER CLASS, LOVE NEVER DIES, THE LITTLE MERMAID "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat. I am in a long distance relationship and it is the best song reminding me of love!! "It Stops Today" by Colbie Callait. I'm obsessed with Colbie right now (can u tell???) and this song has an awesome positive message. I love songs that make you quicken your stride!! "Good Life" by One Republic. Another really positive song that makes you want to run down the street and throw your hat in the air like Mary Tyler Moore!!!!!

Michael Borowski - Press Agent, The Publicity Office 10 fave songs of summer 2011 – so far: “Boy Falls From The Sky” Reeve Carney (from SPIDER-MAN); “Fabulous, Baby!” Patina Miller (From SISTER ACT); “I Wanna Go” by Britney Spears; “Light Up The World (Brian Cua Finale Club Mix)” sung by GLEE; “Marry You” by Bruno Mars; “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO feat.

Ta'Rea Campbell - THE BOOK OF MORMON, THE LION KING, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS THE BOOK OF MORMON cast album of course! (After all I AM a swing... You can never be too prepared!)

Mario Cantone - Laugh Whore, Assassins, The Violet Hour, Love! Valour! Compassion! Some old Rufus and Chaka Khan Chaka -"Classic Khan," Eric Benet -"Hurricane," Earth Wind and Fire -"Illuminations," Marc Broussard -"Carencro," Lalah Hathaway- "Out Run the Sky," John Legend- "Get Lifted," Michael McDonald- "Motown," Rashaan Patterson, "After Hours." And, of course, some classic Judy and Shirley Bassey!

Allyson Carr - MAMMA MIA! Anything from Katy Perry is my number 1 choice. Whenever I am in a bad mood, going tote gym or walking around the city she always puts me in a great mood. Ray lamontagne is great when I need to calm myself and get in the zone or stretch before the show and also I am in love with Ingrid Michaelson.

Jim Caruso - LIZA'S AT THE PALACE..., Producer of Jim Caruso's Cast Party at Birdland "This Guy's In Love With You" by Dave Koz; "Careless Whisper" by Brian McKnight and "Just Like You" by Keb' Mo'.

Michael Cerveris - Sweeney Todd, Assassins, Titanic, The Who's Tommy Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the blood, but I've been hungry for loud guitars a lot lately. These days, my iPod mostly plays the Arctic Monkey's album--really clever lyrics over edgy, twitchy British postpunk tunes. Also enjoying the very Kinks-ish band Kooks and also Hard Fi, a funky, Clash-like band from Britain. Then there's Nellie McKay's last record, full of wit and spite and inventive pop stylings and Regina Spektor's Maryann and the Gravediggers which, in Oedipus, has one of the most oddly constructed, terrific songs I've heard lately. The new Replacements compilation, "Don't You Know Who I think I Was?," gets a fair amount of play, as do albums by Idlewild, Johnny Cash, Iggy Pop and for a palate cleanser, a bit of Carpenters...but no showtunes

Donna Lynne Champlin - Sweeney Todd, Flight of the Lawnchair Man (NYMF), Hollywood Arms My iPod is loaded with Nickel Creek, Rufus Wainwright, The Prayer Cycle (indescribably brilliant!), Alison Krauss, many movie soundtracks, Frank Sinatra, Tommy Makem and The Clancy Brothers, Harry Connick Jr., and my newest favorite CD, 'Ten Cents a Dance,' by the brilliant Nancy Anderson. I tend to drift to the 'non'-musical theatre music on my down time, although I do admit to cranking Altar Boyz when it's time to clean my apartment, much to my neighbors' dismay. Although I'm sure they like it a hell of a lot better than my accordion practicing last year!

Andrew Chappelle - MAMMA MIA! This summer is all about Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Rhianna, and Nicki Minaj. I also love this new up and coming artist out of LA by the name of Gavin Turek. She's pretty awesome. Another great new artist is my fellow cast mate Blake Whyte!

Will Chase - Lennon, The Full Monty, Aida, Rent I've got everything from Mahler to Metallica, everything Rush has ever recorded, Beatles, everything John Lennon ever recorded that's available, Bill Monroe and Mountainheart (that's Bluegrass greatness), the Bernstein "Mahler" recordings, the von Karajan "Beethoven" recordings, and tons of Metal: Godsmack, Metallica, Rob Zombie, System Of A Down, etc. And I actually listen to it all!

Eddie Clendening - MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET "Ever Night Lulu" by Donnie Owens (killer guitar work, and clever lyrics); "I Can Get Along Without You Now" by Dick Curless (lots of soul for a white country boy with a guitar); "The Drifter" by Tennessee Drifters (a sad song with a happy beat, great for making you wanna hit the road); and "The Secret Of Losing The Blues" by Kenny Price (Hee Haw star, another country boy with a ton of soul and a killer band).

Jen Cody - The Pajama Game, Taboo, Urinetown, Seussical Well, I love eighties music. My workout mix has "We Built This City," "Come on Eileen," "Video Killed the Radio Star," and all of Meatloaf and REO Speedwagon Dakota Moon and the Nylons get a lot of play, too! I wish that sounded cooler...

Jeremy Cohen - MASTER CLASS "Summer Highland Falls" (Billy Joel). My favorite song! No surprise that it's a Billy tune. I'm a Long Island boy, after all. Beautiful melody, gorgeous piano part and the lyrics are pure poetry. The words tell a different story every time. "I Wish" (Stevie Wonder). Awesome brass hits, a killer bass line, and Stevie's incomparable voice. This song makes me wish I could play the electric bass! "Fire" (Jimi Hendrix). Jimi plays a mean guitar. Nothing gets you going for the day quite like this one. If only he'd stuck around longer...I can't imagine the music he would've given us.

Michael Crawford - Dance of the Vampires, The Woman in White (in London), The Phantom of the Opera I've got about five hundred songs on my iPod at the moment. Like most people, I think, I'll have a passion for one singer, or one show, or one musician or other. At the moment, I'm listening to Yo Yo Ma, playing anything, also Susannah McCorkle, singing anything.

Anthony Crivello - Phantom--The Vegas Spectacular, Marie Christine, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Les Miserables Bruce Springsteen: (The Seegar Sessions- "John Henry," "Pay Me My Money Down"), James Brown: ("Gravity", "Living in America" "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag"), Lucianno Pavarotti: ("La Donna e' Mobile"), Verdi: Rigoletto, "Vesti la Giubba"(Leoncavallo/Pagliacci), "Nessun Dorma!" (Puccini/Turandot), Inxs: "Suicide Blonde," "Devil Inside," Bob Dylan: "Man of Peace," (Sometimes Satan Comes..."), Matthew Wilder's Cry to Heaven (demo)-"Home," "Revenge," "Handful of Rain," Frank Sinatra: "That's Life," Dean Martin: "Inamorata," "The Hawaiian Guy," "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," Talking Heads: "Take Me to the River," Nino Rota's Theme from The Godfather (Orchestra: "Speak Softly Love..."), Tony Bennett, The Killers, Blue Grass, Jimmy Durante, West Side Story...Depends on my mood, the time of day...and where I'm walking or driving to.

Joey Curatolo - RAIN: A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES "Groovin'" by The Rascals; "Hot Fun In The Summer Time" by Sly & the Family Stone; and "Good Day Sunshine" by The Beatles.

Stephanie D'Abruzzo - AVENUE Q My summertime aural delights include: "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys (a cliché, I know, but hey); "Make Me Smile" by Chicago; "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads; and "Breakin' Up" by Rilo Kiley. And when it's blazing hot and miserable, it's time to put on "Ignoreland" by R.E.M.; "Synchronicity II" by the Police; "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival; and "Veronica" by Elvis Costello.

Paige Davis - CHICAGO, BOEING-BOEING, "Trading Spaces" My picks are Justin Timberlake, Carney and Shirley Q. Liquor :)

Kevin Duda - THE BOOK OF MORMON, LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES I've got the new album "Wonders of the Younger" by "Plain White T's" on repeat... And also "Brighter Than The Sun" by "Colbie Caillat" as my summer song!

John Edwards - JERSEY BOYS This has been the summer of 4 for me. Beyonce's new album 4 is constantly playing on my iPod, but my go to songs are, "Best Thing I Never Had" "Love on Top" and "End of Time."

John Treacy Egan - SISTER ACT, THE LITTLE MERMAID, BYE BYE BIRDIE Jesse J and Jennifer Lopez “Hypnotico.”

Rob Evan - Little Shop of Horrors, Dance of the Vampires, Jekyll & Hyde, Les Miserables Most of my ipod listening revolves around my workout. Music is a motivating factor and keeps me going. I also use that time to learn new material that I am either recording or preparing to perform. My wife, Beate, downloads all the hip stuff from itunes and I steal it from her library. Some of the favorites that I listen to most include: Gnarls Barkley (I did a strange Threepenny Opera with Cee-Lo a few years back); Franz Ferdinand; Gorillaz; Black-Eyed Peas; The Killers; Led Zeppelin (for a little old school); Duran Duran (OK, I admit it); Michael Buble (his version of "Home" is great); Nine Inch Nails; Outkast; Kelly Clarkson (I feel like Steve Carroll but you know that is a great album); John Legend ("Ordinary People"); Elliot Yamin (his "Moody's Moody for Love" is really smooth); The Chemical Brothers; Baaba Maal ("Nomad Soul"); Alanis Morissette (her version of Seal's "Crazy"); Kanye West; Aerosmith ("Dream On Live"); Annie Lennox, and of course Jim Steinman (the obvious hits as well as rare tracks and newly recorded material from "The Dream Engine").

Alison Fraser - LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I WORE, GYPSY, THE SECRET GARDEN, ROMANCE/ROMANCE “The Sea Medley" on my first CD "A New York Romance", along with "Vacation" by the Go-Gos and "The Life Aquatic" Soundtrack. I can dream , can't I?

Paul Gemignani - Broadway Musical Director THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE, PAL JOEY, 110 IN THE SHADE, ASSASSINS, INTO THE WOODS, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, SWEENEY TODD, WEST SIDE STORY & More I listen to everything.

Zina Goldrich - DEAR EDWINA, THE MARCY AND ZINA SHOW, JUNIE B. JONES I love "Moves Like Jagger" by Adam Levine as a fun song to run to. I also like "I Believe" from Book of Mormon. Love "Ay Yo" by Melanie Fiona. Good stuff.

Mandy Gonzalez - Lennon, Dance of the Vampires, Aida I was a little late coming into the game with the iPod, but now I have a Mini so I take what I can get! Right now I'm obsessed with: India.Arie, David Bowie, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Interpol, John Lennon, Judy Garland Live at Carnegie Hall, Scissor Sisters, Sigu Roos, Bruce Springsteen, The Strokes, and Gorillaz.

Kristin Hanggi - ROCK OF AGES On my summer iPod: "Give Me Everything" (PitBull). This track cracks me up. I just love the idea that one could just 'grab someone sexy and tell them ‘hey.’' I can’t stop singing this song... or grabbing random sexy people "Little Lion Man" (Mumford + Sons). These are my new favorite. I adore all those folky harmonies! And I’m on my way to London for ROCK OF AGES, so the Englishmen are getting me in the UK mood. "New Mexico" (Sock and Chimes). My friends Zibby and Ian just released this CD and KCRW just named it one the top ten albums of the year. The track “New Mexico” makes me feel like a little kid playing pretend in my backyard. This is the happiest day ever song. It will bring out your inner five-year-old.

Christopher J. Hanke - HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, CRY BABY, IN MY LIFE, RENT "All I Ever Wanted". This summer. Every day. As loud as possible on n my iPod or in my apartment. It makes me feel like I own this city and that there is a camera following me around jammin'. So thank you, Kelly Clarkson. (P.S. Would you sue me if i covered every song on this album in a one man show???)

Bailey Hanks - LEGALLY BLONDE I have to admit I do not own an ipod...I know, I'm lame! But I do have songs on my phone (Droid) and my top 3 fave songs are: "Never Say Never" by Justin Bieber; "Here" by Rascal Flatts; and "Lacy Let's Go" by Half Priced Hearts.

Ann Harada - Avenue Q, Seussical, M. Butterfly I crammed a bunch of songs onto my ipod before I left for London, trying to put stuff on written by people I know, so I could hear their songs and not feel so homesick. So I play Altar Boyz because I miss Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker, and songs written by Steve Marzullo and Jeff Blumenkrantz and Phoebe Kreutz. And then when I just feel, oh gosh, I need to feel American again, I play Ragtime. And Hair. oh, did you care about non-theatre stuff? it doesnt matter because I hardly have any non-theatre stuff. Okay, the White Album. I am in London after all, and live very close to Abbey Road.

Sam Harris - The Producers, The Life, Grease I am the single person left on earth who does not have an iPod. Well, I have one, but I have yet to put anything in it...on it...whatever. It's pathetic, I know. But music has never been something that can be in the background for me. It requires my full attention and the iPod isn't really made for one's full attention, now is it? I mean, I appreciate background music at a dinner party, but I always find myself drfiting away from a conversation and thinking "Wow, did you hear how Ella phrased that?" Which is, frankly, rude to the person who is telling me about their divorce. When people are talking about their agents or the way show business "used to be" I find the background music helpful as a distraction. I don't even listen to music in the car as I seem to miss exits and run over pedestrians. Inevitably, I sing along, throw my hands in the air at the end, and all hell breaks loose. I suppose an iPod would be good for the gym... but then one would have to go to a gym. I belong to two, but don't go to either. I watch TV while on a treadmill at home because if I am listening to music I am compelled to jog to the tempo of the song that is playing. I can't help it. So, that takes out any ballad I might like to hear. And showtunes don't really go with running, except for any Ethel Merman song and let's face it, a 40 minute run with Ethel Merman could seem like a lifetime. In short, I recognize that I need to get with the rest of the population, but at this point, it would be out of fear of being antiquated rather than any true need. But I am not completely behind the times. I got one of those cameras for my computer and the sex is great.

John Hemphill - MAMMA MIA! "Home" by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes; "Lippy Kids" by Elbow; and "Gossamer Thread" by David Gray.

Marcus Paul James - RENT, IN THE HEIGHTS "Far Away" by Marsha Ambrosius; "Master Blaster" ( hotter than july) by Stevie Wonder; and "Rollin' in the Deep" (cover) by John Legend.

Richard Jay-Alexander - Performer - ZOOT SUIT, AMADEUS, Exec. Producer/Associate Director - FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE, MISS SAIGON, LES MISERABLES For me it's the summer of BOOM! on my iPod. Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway's new album, recorded live at Birdland is just out on P.S. CLASSICS and I'm CRAZY about it. It puts a HUGE smile on my face and is also very moving. I went to see it live, with Melissa Errico, and we both loved it. This album is beautifully produced and captures what went on in that club. I LOVE IT !!!!! I also have Donny & Marie's new CD loaded in there - it's their first studio recording together in 30 years and having worked with them on their latest Las Vegas show at the Flamingo and on their tour, it's handy for "additions and changes" to the stage show. And, finally, lucky for me, I can listen to Barbra Streisand's newest CD, WHat Matters Most - Barbara Streisand Sings The Lyrics Of Alan And Marilyn Bergman. I got an "advance" before going on QVC to promote the new recording and the street date is August 23rd. It's FANTASTIC!

Ryan Jesse - JERSEY BOYS Without hesitation, Mungo Jerry's "In the Smmertime."

Bryan Scott Johnson - MAMMA MIA! Definitely some mellow 60's gold I never get tired of: "Elusive Butterfly" by Bob Lind; "Like To Get To Know You" by Spanky & Our Gang; and "A Summer Song" by Chad & Jeremy; Also if you haven't heard Dutch singer Trijntje Oosterhuis's two Burt Bacharach CD's, do yourself a favor and check her out! She's amazing, and the albums and arrangements are perfect summer listening.

Nick Kenkel - CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, LEGALLY BLONDE Anything Black Eyed Peas...makes me think SUMMER!

Michelle Kittrell - All Shook Up, Urban Cowboy, Hairspray, Sweet Smell of Success, Seussical Right now, I'm OBSESSED with India Arie's new album "Testimony, Vol.1: Life & Relationship." I think she is so insightful and hopeful. I feel moved by her music no matter what! I also listen to my girl Shoshana Bean's music. I'm one of the lucky one's to have that! And then if I just want to dance around like a fool...I put on Christina Aquilera's "Aint No Other Man." That's a hot song!

Steve Landes - RAIN: A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES Classic summer song: "Under The Boardwalk" by The Drifters Recent summer-y song: "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings Summer-y Beatles song: "Eight Days A Week"

Debuting in BABY IT'S YOU on Broadway is like giving birth to a child I only dreamed about! Before the curtain, I celebrate My "Baby's" arrival with the song "Little Village" by Scarlett Cherry from the album, Labor of Love. Scarlett Cherry wrote and recorded the album while she was enceinte.

Rick Lyon - Avenue Q This is embarrassing, but there is nothing on my iPod. My wife, Tonya Dixon, bought me one for my birthday months ago, and I haven't had time to figure out how to use it. Between performing Q on Broadway, maintaining and repairing the Q puppets, and working on other puppet projects at my shop, I barely have time to eat and sleep, so loading my iPod with music has been de-prioritized. When Tonya gets back from starring in Aida in Maine, maybe I'll ask her to fill it with some of her favorite music!

Douglas Lyons - THE BOOK OF MORMON, DREAMGIRLS Tour I am listening to Beyonce's newest album 4 on repeat!

Robert Britton Lyons - MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET Arctic Monkeys "My Propeller" off of their album entitled Humbug. I love the spooky guitar sounds, killer drum part and overall feel of the track. Most of the album was produced by Joshua Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and you can really hear his influence on the band (even though he didn't produce this particular song). 2) The Black Keys "Everlasting Light" off of their newest record Brothers. I've been a fan of this band ever since their album Thickfreakness came out in 2003. With each subsequent record, they have taken their dirty take on stripped-down garage blues to new and often surprising places. "Everlasting Light" has frontman Dan Auerbach singing in a pained falsetto over a groove that would've made any 1960's era garage band green with envy. 3) Eels "Prizefighter" off of the album El Hombre Lobo. Just good, lean rock and roll. This guy's catalog is full of beautifully depressing stuff, but this song is a distorted party in your eardrums. Try not tapping your toes while listening to this. Go ahead. I dare you.

Tina Maddigan - The Wedding Singer, Mamma Mia! iPod? What is this I pod you speak of...? I still listen to my mom's eight track player and LPs. Right now, my iPod is broken because I'm terrible with electronics. I've had four camera's and three cell phones since the beginning of The Wedding Singer. And, I have gone to have my iPod fixed 6 times...seriously, six times! When I go to get it, the Apple guy gets a kick out of my selections including some Gregorian Chant, accordion favorites of the 20's and Smurfette's Greatest Hits. Alright, so you really want to know. Well, I have three playlists--"Funk It Out," "Warm It Up" and "Just to Hang." "Funk It Out" are the songs that I work out to--Eminem, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Nelly Furtado, LL Cool J, and I hate to admit it, but Britney. My "Warm It Up" playlist is theatre songs that I just love to sing--anything by Jason Robert Brown, David Friedman, Jeff Blumenkrantz, Sherie Rene Scott, Sutton Foster and my favorite, Nancy LaMott. I spice it up with a little Wicked, Poppins, Hairspray and my favorite Broadway score, The Wedding Singer...it's awesome! My "Just to Hang" playlist is everything and anything from Tina Turner to Norah Jones, Stevie Wonder to Aerosmith, Dave Matthews to Bobby McFerrin. I love Sting, Joni Mitchell, Jan Arden and sometimes a little Celtic fiddle to remind me of home.

Ellyn Marie Marsh - PRICILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT, ENRON When walking around the city: Fleet Foxes. Both albums are awesome and beautiful to listen to. When working out, running around with my daughter and pushing a stroller as a replacement for a cardio work out: "Born this way" from Lady Gaga. And for inspiration: Rebecca Black's "Friday".

Barrett Martin - HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, THE ADDAMS FAMILY, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, URBAN COWBOY Rascal Flatts never lets me down!

Jeff Marx - Avenue Q, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Every Beatles album (still the best ever!); every Ben Folds album (including digital EP releases - the coolest); every Sondheim show except Anyone Can Whistle; a lot of Billy Joel, Elton John, The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Carpenters, Paul Williams, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, Queen, The Bee Gees, Buddy Holly, Allan Sherman...a ton of musicals, everything from Oklahoma to Jersey Boys; "Edges" by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul; the entire 14-CD Time-Life "Sounds of the Seventies" collection.

Nick Mayo - HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, SOUTH PACIFIC, THE RITZ "For Once in my Life" by Stevie Wonder.

Rick McKay - Broadway: The Golden Age, Broadway: Beyond the Golden Age, Broadway: The Next Generation Spending my life either traveling around the world to shoot my Broadway films or sitting with the legends and filming them, my Ipod becomes indispensable. For research I have entire shows from old bootlegs, which really teaches you how to construct a show - not the cast albums, but full performances with applause, coughing, etc., of everything from Merman's closing nights in Gypsy and "Dolly" and Lansbury in Gypsy and "Sweeney" to Uta Hagen and Stritch, both playing Martha in "Virginia Woolf" and Liza and Chita in Chicago. Live recordings really help with my work and keep me inspired, as well, so I have Streisand's never-released early 60's uncut nightclub acts, the holy grail "Judy at Carnegie Hall," "Sinatra at the Sands," and Barbara Cook - from the first Carnegie Hall up to Live at the Met. Also, to relax, meditation music; and for fun, lots of Nellie McKay, Blossom Dearie, Christina Aguilera, Carmen McRae, Chet Baker, Piaf, Jimmy Scott, Jane Monheit, Johnny Hartman, Nina Simone, Nora Jones, Sarah Vaughan, Stephane Grappelli, 'Tom Wopat Sings Arlen,' etc. And just so I don't lose total grip with the present(always a danger in this biz), I live on podcasts like Leonard Lopate, NPR, KCRW's "The Business," "NewsHour with Jim Leher" and Joe Morgenstern's "Film Reviews" from WSJ. I wouldn't be surprised if the thousand-plus hours of interviews for my Broadway trilogy ended up available to people as downloadable podcasts one day. Something to think about ...

Michael Minarik - ROCK OF AGES, LES MISERABLES "Che Gelida Manina" because I love blasting Boheme out of my windows on the UWS in the summer. "P.Y.T" by Michael Jackson because I love watching people walk by my apartment and start dancing in the streets.

Brian Stokes Mitchell - Man of La Mancha, Kiss Me, Kate, King Hedley II, Ragtime Floyd Collins by Adam Guettel - the original cast recording. This is the one cast album I never seem to get tired of hearing; Joni Mitchell - "Both Sides Now" - A great album by a great singer-songwriter sung with a voice that has livedl; Alicia Keys - "Songs in A Minor" - great vibe, singing and piano playing; "The best of Tuck and Patti" - Beautiful, simple, romantic - virtuoso singing and guitar playing; To Kill a Mockingbird - by Elmer Bernstein - One of the prettiest film scores of all time; John Buccchino - It's Only Life - a great collection of songs from a very inventive songwriter; Dave Grusin Presents West Side Story - inventive big band jazz arrangements played by Pianist Dave Grusin and his Guys; The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album - One of my favorite singers with one of my favorite pianists of all time; Jason Mraz - "Mr. A-Z" - a really interesting alternative singer/songwriter; African Playground - African songs by African artists for young people - Because my son loves it and so do I!

Lauren Molina - Sweeney Todd I have been on a serious chick rock kick lately. The new albums by The Ditty Bops and Regina Spektor are great for a dose of happy summer songs. I also LOVE Feist, Rilo Kiley, Zero 7, Keren Ann, and Stars. The new Thom Yorke is nice too... For a more involved list of favs: Cinematic Orchestra, Her Space Holiday, Elliot Smith, Fiona Apple, Maria Taylor, Azure Ray, Broken Social Scene, Manitoba, Morcheeba, The Strokes, Air, The Flaming Lips, Aimee Mann, Ani DiFranco, Beck, Arvo Part, Belle and Sebastian, The Boy Least Likely To, Brad Meldhau, LCD Soundsystem, Cat Power, Emily Easterly, The Cure, Daft Punk, Explosions In the Sky, Franz Ferdinand, Gotan Project, Iron &; Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Theivery Corporation, John Coltrane, Jon Brion, Lou Barlow, The Mercury Program....DID I MENTION I LOVE MUSIC??

Euan Morton - Brundibar, Measure for Pleasure, Taboo The great thing about the IPod is that I can have my eclectic music collection all in one tiny box (I say eclectic, some say it's bipolar)! The music that gets the most play though is : Dan Bern, Skunk Anansie, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello, Harry Nilsson, Leonard Cohen, The Carpenters (of course)! And I must admit I do play NewClear...only so I will be so secure on the words I'll never forget them in concert!

Julia Murney - Wicked Tour, Lennon, The Wild Party EVERYTHING's on my iPod-I usually just put it on shuffle in my dressing room and let the songs come out randomly, so if we judge it by last night, Gavin Creel, Edith Piaf, Dolly Parton, James Taylor, U2, Dreamgirls, Foo Fighters, Stevie Wonder, Kate Bush, Billy Porter, Joni Mitchell, Dixie Chicks and the Hair concert recording are on my iPod.

Julia Murney - WICKED, LENNON The top three on my iPod at the moment are all over the place! Adele, "Someone Like You" Heartachy, awesome vocal. I lurve her! Beyonce "Run the World (Girls)." This actually falls into the strange modern category of 'I love the video so I love the song.' The choreography is off the hook. Rick Springfield "Love Somebody." Yes, i said Rick Springfield. This popped up one day on shuffle and I have rediscovered my teenage pining for Dr. Noah Drake. if you don't know who that is, you missed out on some sexy hair gel situations...and I even saw him in concert!

Sean Michael Murray - RENT, AMERICAN IDIOT "Love In Stereo" by Sean Michael Murray and Jason Mraz.

Michael Musto - The Village Voice's 'La Dolce Musto' Jersey Boys (the original ones--the Four Seasons) and Dreamgirls (the original ones--the Supremes). But it's not like I live in the past or anything. I also have brand new releases like South Pacific in Concert and The Essential Judy Garland.

Michael Musto - Theater Writer, The Village Voice "Hasa Diga Eebowai"? from ( Cast, THE BOOK OF MORMON); "Fly, Fly Away" (??Kerry Butler, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN); "?I'?m Still Here" (??Nancy Walker, SONDHEIM, A MUSICAL TRIBUTE).

Orfeh - The Great American Trailer Park Musical, Saturday Night Fever, Love, Janis, Footloose My ipod is about 95% R&B, old school as well as new, The entire Prince and Stevie Wonder catalogues, ditto for Joplin, lots of 90's freestyle and dance hits (lots of 15 minute remixes), and with the exception of the Altar Boyz and Hair benefit cast albums, there's not a showtune to be found.

Daniel Reichard - Jersey Boys, The Thing About Men, Radiant Baby My taste in music is all over the place--just like my attention span! My iPod shuffles India Arie's new album "Testimony" (truly amazing), the Talking Heads (fun wild times music), Edie Brickell's "Volcano" (honest and heartfelt album), Four Seasons' "Genuine Imitation Life Gazette" (their obscure concept album), Wendy Ho (when I want to laugh), Erykah Badu (a true musical artist), John Denver (love me some JD on the days that I feel the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers), Fleetwood Mac (my favorite rock band), Joni Mitchell (need I explain?) and Stevie Wonder (need I say 'need I explain'?). It's all music that I have picked up from friends, siblings, relationships, and random life moments. That's pretty cool.

Kate Reinders - Good Vibrations, Wicked, Gypsy, Into the Woods, Adventures of Tom Sawyer 1. "Good Day" by The Click Five. What can I say? I love to start the day with some feel-good bee-bop; 2. "I Never" by Rilo Kiley. I sing sing sing along. Although "Portions for Foxes" is clearly a fav too; 3. "You Have Killed Me" by Morrissey. Self-explanatory; 4. "One and Only" by Teitur. Also in love with "I Was Just Thinking"... so sad; 5. "Rock Me" by Liz Phair. But anything Liz Phair is fine with me. Love her; 6. "In n Out" by Tastiskank. That's right. My band with Sarah Litzsinger--it's the first song we ever wrote!

Richie Ridge - Broadway Beat TV Surprise --my taste in music is of course- musical theatre. On my iPod, I have Elvis Presley's awesome live Vegas rendition of "The Impossible Dream", Debbie Reynolds and Liza Minnelli both doing "City Lights," Judy Garland's "Comes Once In A Lifetime" and "As Long As He Needs Me" - Michele Lee singing "He's Good For Me" from Seesaw, all of Hugh Jackman from The Boy From Oz, Harry Connick Jr. and The Pajama Game, Chita and Gwen from Chicago - and of course Jersey Boy's John Lloyd Young singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You."

"White Boys" (Actors Fund HAIR). I'm obsessed with each woman's amazing voice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k8kseSH7PU "Writing on the Wall" (from the reading of EDWIN DROOD). Betty adds amazing folk singer slides that I love!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuGJCL8mMv4 "All Over the World" (XANADU): Cheyenne's voice has such an amazing tone and is so flexible: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdHD18SrASo "Eve Was Weak" (CARRIE): There's nothing that gets your heart pumping faster than the thought of Betty Buckley chasing you around a kitchen because she wants to beat the sh*t out of you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa6uz8UMvZs

Anne Runolfsson - The Phantom of the Opera, James Joyce's The Dead, Aspects of Love, Les Miserables On my iPod: Artists in alphabetical order, up to the letter G (ala I-Pod); ABBA, Academy of Ancient Music (The Four Seasons), Adam Guettel (Floyd Collins and Light in the Piazza), Adolph Green ("The Bernstein Songbook"), Allison Fraser (The Secret Garden), Amos Lee, Anita O'Day, Anne Runolfsson, Annie Lennox, Anonymous 4, Astrud Gilberto, Audra McDonald, Barbara Cook, Barbara Streisand, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Benny Carter, Benny Green, Bernadette Peters, Betty Comden, Bill Charlap, Bill Evans, Billie Holiday, Billy Eckstein, Billy Joel, Billy Porter, Bing Crosby, Bonnie Raitt, Boris Karloff, Brent Carver (Parade), Brian Kennedy, Brooks Ashmanskas (Songs for a New World), Bruce Hornsby, Buddy Rich, Carolee Carmello (Parade), The Carpenters, Cassandra Wilson, Charlie Parker, Cecelia Bartoli, the Chieftans, Cleo Laine, Daisy Eagan (The Secret Garden), Dave Mathews Band, Debbie Gravitte, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Donna Murphy (Passion), Dr. Evil (Austin Powers), George Gershwin...You're getting the gist, a little bit of everything.

Lea Salonga - Flower Drum Song, Miss Saigon, Les Miserables What's on my iPod? As expected, there will be showtunes blaring! I also have a good collection of pop, rock, alternative, R&B, electronica, bossa, new age and classical. However, what I most enjoy is the collection of albums of Filipino bands. My favorites (album name in parenthesis): Parokya ni Edgar (Halina sa Parokya), The Dawn (Prodigal Sun and Harapin), Bamboo (Light Peace LOVE), and Sandwich (Five on the Floor). I also keep my voice teacher's sessions loaded for pre-show warm-ups. Lastly, I have lots of Baby Genius albums for the listening pleasure of my little girl Nicole. Quite honestly, I enjoy them too.

Lauren Sambataro - MAMMA MIA! I'm loving fellow cast mate's Blake Whyte's music. The song Common Ground is my fave : )

Sharone Sayegh - MAMMA MIA! My top 3 songs are: "Common Ground" by Blake Whyte (he's actually a cast member of Mamma Mia and is an amazing singer/songwriter!!!); The entire Adelle album, 21!!!; and "My Sweet Song" and "Front Row"by Toby Lightman - she's awesome!

Keala Settle - PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT The top 3 songs I usually listen to on the subway are: "Reconnect" by Maisey Rika because it reminds me of where I come from. "This Too Shall Pass" by Yolanda Adams to TRY and give me patience throughout the day!; and "Millworker" by James Taylor just because I love that song!

Kacie Sheik - HAIR “Marry You” by Bruno Mars; “Home” by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros; “Up on the Roof” by James Taylor; “Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding; “Empire State of Mind” by Jay Z/Alicia Keys (every summer soundtrack :) When Hair was in London, some of us took a 24 hour "day-off trip" to Ireland. We heard one of the best street singer/guitar player and percussion duos I've ever heard. Steel bought their album for us to share. They were covering Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire" on the street so that's on my list. And lastly, Ty Taylor's band Vintage Trouble's EP "The Bomb Shelter Sessions".

Tony Sheldon - PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT "Double Rainbow" by Bill Charlap and Renee Rosnes, "Haven't We Met" by Jack Donahue and "Berimbau" by Herb Alpert and Lani Hall.

Alexandra Silber - MASTER CLASS "Let me tell you about my boat..." I do a little “public transportation dance” to this song that is really something. "Albatross" by Judy Collins. Wildflowers is an album by Judy Collins, released in 1967. My Mom owned the original LP when she was in high school/college. It has literally orchestrated my life (a fact I told her in person shaking slightly as I held her hands at my high school graduation, and repeated 2 weeks ago backstage when she had come to see Master Class). "Albatross" is my favorite song on the [totally stellar] album partly because Collins wrote it herself and partly because the imagery is so profound and vivid: "The lady comes to the lake, dressed in lavender and leather. Looking North to the sea, she finds the weather fine..." Scene set. Pure poetry. Voice of an angel. Cue the full orchestral string section. Enjoy. (and thanks Mom!) "You & I Both" by Jason Mraz I love you. Sharing a love of you with Victoria began a beautiful friendship. I'm happy to listen to your music on repeat. Bonus track): "Tell Me Why" by [hangs head in shame] The Backstreet Boys" .This stupid stupid stupid song evokes summer camp co-ed mixers like no other.

Emily Skinner - BILLY ELLIOT, DINNER AT EIGHT, THE FULL MONTY, SIDE SHOW, JEKYLL & HYDE "One and Only" by Adele; "F**k You" by Cee Lo Green; and Marc Maron's podcast "WTF."

Zuzanna Szadkowski - LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I WORE Alison Fraser singing Lizzie Borden. We just became friends doing LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I WORE and I am obsessed with her! Also, a beautiful summer day in NYC makes me imagine myself driving on the P.C.H. in a convertible so I love to listen to anything with "California" in the title.

Ben Thompson - RENT, AMERICAN IDIOT "Sully My Days" by Matt Caplan; "Freer" by Declan Bennett; and "I Dance Alone" by Fran Sancisco.

Michael Urie - ANGELS IN AMERICA, "Ugly Betty", THE TEMPERAMENTALS I'm a sucker for the Four Seasons, so "Oh What a Night" manages to find it's way onto all of my playlists - sometimes the real McCoy, sometimes the original cast of JERSEY BOYS. My go-to summer road trip songs are "Corner of the Sky" and "You Can't Stop The Beat" - they make me wish I had a convertible :)

Daphne Rubin Vega - Everythings Turning Into Beautiful, Bernarda Alba, Anna in the Tropics, Rent I'm on my iPod. Deep Forest, Pink, Pink Floyd, Manu Chao, Bep, my vocal coach...too much to mention.

Rema Webb - THE BOOK OF MORMON, THE LION KING "Beauty School Drop Out" by Billy Porter to start!

Tad Wilson - PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT, ROCK OF AGES This is an easy for me: "The One" by 10th & Carlisle. Amazing!!!!!!

John Lloyd Young - Jersey Boys Rufus Wainwright, Mozart's Requiem, The Four Seasons Anthology, Jersey Boys (!), Chicago (the band), lots of great 70s singles, and three mix CDs a fan made me of original recordings of every Leading Actor in a Musical Tony winner since the first Tonys in 1947 all through this year, 2006 -- fascinating.

John Lloyd Young - JERSEY BOYS "Hold on, I'm Comin'" and my own rough cuts of "Since I Don't Have You" and "Pure Imagination."

David Zippel - Princesses, The Woman in White, The Goodbye Girl, City of Angels Don't have an iPod. Afraid that I would spend too much time listening to songs instead of writing them. I do, however, have iTunes, which I use to organize my work and to burn demos. It's indispensable. My low-tech, last century, method of listening to music is the CD. I am currently listening CDs by Nancy LaMott, Barbara Streisand, Steve Tyrell, Stacey Kent, Diana Krall, Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway, Barbara Cook, Rosemary Clooney, Jessica Molasky and John Pizzarelli, Mary Cleere Haran, Nancy Wilson and Mozart.
