Stage Musicals.
The ones filmed on stage are not always the best quality. I tried to include every version I could find. Most of these are the movie versions, if a version was available. Enjoy!

since the other soundtrack masterlists i’ve seen on here have a lot of broken links, i decided to make my own! under the cut are 150+ different musicals and 170+ different download links all in alphabetical order. if you encounter any problems please message me so i can update the list. there are also some notes listed below the cut regarding the download links. please like/reblog! [last updated: 21 august 2014]
I have a test tomorrow I haven’t studied for, so naturally I’m looking for something to procrastinate with. Does anyone have a link to a place where I can watch Next to Normal? (Preferable decent quality or something ‘official’)
Here is a lovely masterlist of n2n videos/audios. The Original Broadway Cast bootlegs are pretty bad, but I’m sure there’s a few others that are decent.
Thank you so much!
