Welcome to Robert’s Musicals

I am a lover of musical theatre who has accumulated many recordings (EPs, LPs and CDs) of musical theatre over the years. I don’t regard myself as a collector, though with 20,000+ recorded productions I guess I am. I will use the word “collection” for want of a better term. I bring to other lovers of musical theatre a list of productions worldwide for which I have recordings, and for each, information such as year, production or studio recording location, cast, composer, lyricist, label, catalog number, etc. The list on this site is far from complete, but it is substantial. I am adding to the list as I find time, with an objective of bringing it up-to-date by end 2022. No promises!

The criterion for listing is that the recording tells a story through music, or the music is the story, bringing in musicals, musical plays, rock operas, operettas and some opera. Instrumental-only and concert recordings are not listed, except for concert productions of musicals.

My aim is that, through this website, more of the history of musical theatre is preserved beyond the content of excellent sites such as Castalbums.
