Spanish cast recordings

Well, I have found another way for my love of musicals to send me to the poorhouse. I have been studying Spanish off-and-on for years and I have many Spanish-language CDs. Suddenly, I realized, "Why not listen to Spanish cast recordings??!!"

So, my question: Where is a good place on the web to find Spanish cast recordings? I could only find a couple on http://www.footlight.com and the bids for the ones on eBay get out-of-hand real quick. Is there a section of Amazon or Tower on the web where I should look? If I search for "spanish," I find either CD's for learning Spanish or CD's with "Spanish" in the (English) title. Most of the recordings seem to come from Mexico City, Madrid, or Barcelona. I keep thinking one of those cities MUST have a big CD store with a web site. Any ideas????

Note to Dollypop: The Mexican cast recording of Hello, Dolly! is for auction on eBay right now!

Gracias, Jake! So many to choose from--I'll be in the poor house in no time. I've already ordered The Full Monty Spanish cast recording. Just call me ChrisAmaShows!

A good friend of mine got the Mexican cast recording of Annie from Footlight records, and it's the funniest damn thing I ever heard, especially "Tomorrow"....

I bought the Madrid cast recording of Les Miz from Footlight, about 4 years ago.

Really wasn't worth the money I paid, except for Gema Castaño (Fantine) and Enrique R. del Portal (Enjolras). If you see it on eBay, though, it's worth a snatch -- I think I made it sound worse than it actually is, heh...

I got the Dutch Album of Aida. The vocals are strong. I love singing in Dutch! lol. I get weird glares though...

I did find a couple on Footlight, including Annie. I'm bidding on a couple more on eBay, but some of them go for 75 to 100 dollars!

Dress Circle definitely has the biggest selection of any website I've looked at.
