Um, this has been discussed countless of times since the show opened on Broadway in October 2001. We all know about the background vocal tracks.

Sorry you just discovered this info.

This has been known for quite a while...

They use "sweetner tracks" in addition to the live singing. The tracks are used during Vouloez Vous and the Megamix. The rest of the background vocals are live. Check out the backstage tour with Carolee and she shows the microphone booths.

Hahaha. None of the vocals are pre-recorded. I've been backstage many times and have many friends in the show and know for a fact that none of the vocals are pre-recorded.
