I have many music books listed here. You can also visit my musical theater online shop to find more books, vocal scores, vocal selections, Broadway cast recordings and books on acting and monologues.
Vocal Scores or Vocal Selections?
Depending on the songs you are looking for and how much you want to spend, you can pick the vocal score of a show or just the vocal selections. Vocal scores contain all of the songs from any given show. They generally range from $35-$100, depending on the show. Vocal selections don't have every song from the show, just the most popular songs. It is rare for a vocal selections book to cost more than $20.There are also some great music books that have songs from multiple shows and for various voice parts. I am a big fan of the Singer's Musical Theater Anthologies. They have multiple books for each voice part. You can also buy sets that come with accompaniment CDs.
My Favorite Vocal Score of All Time
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's "Into the Woods"
Into the Woods (Vocal Score)
Amazon Price: $67.50 (as of 12/01/2009)
Into the Woods is an incredible show that weaves together many familiar fairy tales and gives insight into the real lives, hopes and dreams of those characters. Through triumph and tragedy, they all come to realize "No One is Alone." It's fabulous. Check it out!

- Well, according to the Singer's Anthologies there are no true altos I guess. It's all about belting these days. :-) I swear, the older I get, the lower I can sing though.
