It's that time of year, and I can't help but wonder if your CD collection and iPod are Tonys ready. This Broadway season has some really interesting contenders in the musical categories, and to get you ready for the big night, I'm recapping the albums you should be listening to (or at the very least pre-ordering).

In anticipation of LES MISERABLES coming back home to Broadway, I've been listening to LES MISERABLES LIVE! DREAM THE DREAM (The 2010 Cast Album). The beautiful, exciting, and comprehensive recording was captured at the Wales Millennium Centre in 2009. For those curious about what they can expect from the new Broadway production, this recording serves as the perfect introduction to Chris Jahnke's new orchestrations.

LE MIS - how admirers shorten the title - is a musical of all times. January this year in London the performance had been played for 10000 time what is an absolute world record and has no equivalent on Broadway. The year 2010 is a jubilee year - it has been 25 years since the premiere of this exceptional work on West End.

Produced by Stage Entertainment Spain, Les Miserables will open in Teatro Lope de Vega in Madrid on November 18th 2010, directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell. It will be the second time this classic musical by Boubil and Schönberg hits the city. It first arrived in 1992, produced by José Tamayo, Plácido Domingo and Cameron Mackintosh.

Les Miserables is widely regarded as one of the most popular and successful musicals of all-time. It was the third longest running show on Broadway and has had over 9,500 performances in London's West End. Throughout the years, there have been many successful Canadian Productions of the hit show, and some alumni have come together to attempt to organize a reunion for June 2010 to bring together everyone who was ever part of the Canadian Les Mis family. BWW will be on hand to cover the big event and has also agreed to lend a hand in spreading the word, in the hopes that as many people as possible will be able to attend.
