Duplicates on too many to name.

can we count "highlights" of the certain recording, and the actual full cast recording from which it is from as two separate ones? (I know it's pointless, but I don't want to sell it.)

I have over 20 Les Mis Cds in over 10 languages. And I only speak two of them. Sad, I know.

I don't think it's sad.

Sometimes it's nice to listen to something you're familiar with in a language you don't know -- you end up concentrating on the voice and the orchestra rather than the lyrics.

I own 5 Chicago cast recordings! I thought I was insane for it but some people have sooo many different recordings of the same show that I feel I won't be a true Chicago fan till I get about 20 different recordings!

First of all, what's with all the recordings in Catalán? I'm doubting you speak it, so are the vocals really that good?

And I have 17 Mamma Mia's in 13 different languages and am proud!

I've learned a lot of different words in languages thanks to Les Mis.

When you know it so well, you don't even have to know what they are saying...
