Les Miserables (Broadway Cast) Highlights

This is the highlights cd of the Broadway Cast of Les Miserables. Not my favourite Les Miserables recording but it's good. Colm Wilkinson and Frances Ruffelle reprised the roles they created on West End as Jean Valjean and Eponine Thenardier respectively. The recording incorporated the minor changes made from its original London Cast recording.
