Broadway Babies

 Every car ride is about the Broadway playlist these days. (And by the way, when I say Broadway, I broadly include movie musicals. There was some fantastic music coming out of Disney in the 90's.) Something about songs written, sung, and performed to illustrate a story is just so fabulous, even with out the visual. It's slightly possible I might get into an accident someday trying to sing, direct, and dance to this music while driving.

Some of our favorites, Daahhling. Stars* are especially awesome to me (not necessarily the kids):

P.S. Have you tried legalsounds? You pay $25 or more to your account and then your purchases are deducted from the balance. But the songs are only 7 to 9 cents each, so I got all of these songs for like $6!
