You won't have *that* many old ones either. There are a few Canadian
cast recordings, but they've always been thin on the ground. There's a
Canadian "Phantom..." with nice performances (Colm Wilkinson and Rebecca
Caine in the leads), there's the Diahann Caroll "Sunset Boulevard", and
there are a few older Canadian cast albums (best place to look for them,
probably, is TheatreQs in Toronto).

"Kiss of the Spider Woman" is a London cast recording, not a Toronto
cast recording, though the show had the same cast in London and Toronto.
