Les Mis School edition backing track

[amanda]

Hello all,
Does anyone know where/if I can get hold of a backing track for the School Edition of les mis - to use in rehearsals when the keyboard player is unavailable?
Thanks

Can you not get your keyboard player to record the tracks for you? This is what various groups I know do.

The license for the UK rights for this show prohibits you from making your own backing tracks for this show, it has to have live musicians. As to if recording the piano is making a backing track? That's for peoples own consciences. Rehearsal tracks are backing tracks in my humble view, so although being very handy - is a breach of copyright.

Even changes of key to suit the performers aren't allowed.
