<center>Best Musical Soundtrack CD (Movie or Stage)</center>


: This year has seen some wonderfully made and very successful musicals showing up on stage and screen. Just as important, it’s also seen many musicals show up on our iPods and CD players. Whether you dance the Stricken Chicken to the soulful tunes in “Hairspray”, lead all of Central Park in a splashy dance sequence to Menken and Schwartz’s “Enchanted”, cruise the watery stages of Disney World while “Finding Nemo”, look Fabulous as you Work This Out each and Everyday with the bubblegum pop of “High School Musical 2”, or sink your teeth into some cerebral Sondheim (and Mrs. Lovett’s delicious meat pies) along with Johnny Depp in “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”, everyone has a musical soundtrack for them. Without further bad puns, the nominees for the 2008 UD Media Award for <b>Best Musical Soundtrack CD (Movie or Stage)</b> are:

<i>Enchanted: Soundtrack
Finding Nemo: The Musical - Soundtrack
Hairspray: Two-Disc Collector's Edition Soundtrack
High School Musical 2: Soundtrack
