Sad thing is that these don't exist. | ||

You can get practically the whole thing from Dress Circle: www.dresscircle.co.uk
But it costs 40 quid! |

My advice is to get a copy of the CSR to give your cast a "flavour" of the show. Then all you need to do is get a pianist to play some of the songs from the Vocal Slections. Once again giving your cast a "flavour" So they will be prepared for when the actual versions arrive. Just some ideas. | ||

Found a solution to my problem. I remembered that I have a software on my mac called "iKaraoke" which virtually removes the lead vocals on audio tracks. I simply popped in the CSR and exported the resulting backing tracks. Thanks for your help everyone! | ||

Good luck with your show.
You can also find 100's of Les Mis midi files all over the net. With a program like Vanbascos, you can isolate each voice part too. Its great for note bashing. |

where does one get this software from?? |

I got "iKaraoke" as a free demo on a CD that came with MacWorld magazine. You can only use the software for free for a period of 30 days, otherwise you'd have to pay $30 for it.
It really doesnt totally erase lead vocals on audio tracks, rather, it turns the lead vocals to a virtual "echo". When you sing along with it, the echo is hardly noticeable |
