: I've been jamming out hardcore to "Cheerleader" by OMI. Seems to be popular amongst the How to Succeed鈥� cast [at Flat Rock Playhouse]!!
: "Home" by Phillip Phillips
: I confess to not being much of a cast album listener (blaspheme!), but I'm pretty obsessed with Ed Sheeran's "X," Tori Kelly's new album "Unbreakable Smile," Jazmine Sullivan's "Reality Show" and, last but not least, Jason Mraz's "Yes!" I dare you to listen to that album and NOT feel the best ever. Instant day brightener. BAM.
: Walk the Moon's "Talking is Hard" (album) and "Avalanche" (song); Kelly Clarkson's "Piece by Piece" (album) and "Let Your Tears Fall" (song).
: I literally just listen to Pandora and switch between and . They're real good for the walk home from the subway or workin' it out at the gym鈥� when I go to there!
: Right now, my obsession is the Bridges of Madison County 补濒产耻尘鈥� and I listen to it on route to our play and then sing it backstage walking to places鈥� daily.
: Here are the two albums I have been listening to a lot. 1) I am revisiting The Format's album "Dog Problems." A perfect driving/commute upbeat blend of tunes.
2) This incredibly talented Icelandic kid called Asgeir and his album "In the Silence." A little more subdued, but beautiful music.
3) does an amazing . I find a lot of my music there! Check it out!
: This summer is all about Hozier for me. Every song has a new vibe and brilliant lyrics. You can catch me on my yoga mat and Hozier rocking my speakers everyday before .
Also, the "Blessing of Abraham" by the Tri-City Singers. Talk about getting amped for life. My spirit sets on fire when they tell me to "go get my inheritance." Nothing better than a gospel choir.
: I usually go toward the acoustic, singer/songwriter vibe. I love my girl , The Gabe Dixon Band, Magic!, Gavin DeGraw, Marc Broussard, John Legend and, of course, the one and only (who, by the way, happens to have written a fierce little musical up here in Boston).
: "You Make My Dreams" 鈥� Hall & Oates. It's usually accompanied by exaggerated lip syncing and puts me in the best mood.
Gideon Glick: I've listened to every day for about a year now. I've started throwing into the mix, too, obviously.
: I'm a nerd, and I'm always listening to podcasts. My top three are: (DUH!), and 's . Can't go wrong with any of those!
: "To Pimp a Butterfly" 鈥� Kendrick Lamar. Current favorite track: "u." He paints outside the lines. It's hip-hop, but it's jazz also.
"Reality Show" 鈥� Jazmine Sullivan. Current favorite track: "Silver Lining." Puts a smile on my face on the walk to work.
Fun Home OBC. Current favorite track(s): "Changing My Major" and "Telephone Wire." The performances are still so alive in my head and my heart. The songs can summon up the performances on cue.
: Lately it's been Fun Home. It's so good.
: My go-to cast album, because I'm a rock 'n' roll guy, is . I could probably listen to that over and over and over again.
: . That's one of my favorites of all time. I mean when you're singing Sunday and you're coming out of Central Park, you're like, "This is great!" It gives you a soundtrack for your life.
