Les Mis ST date moved

LES MIS BIZ: The digital release date for Universal Republic’s Les Misérables: Highlights From the Motion Picture Soundtrack has been moved up to 12/21 after being originally slated to coincide with the Universal Pictures musical’s release on the 25^th. As the iTunes store won’t be changed over Christmas, the revised date ensures that the 20-song set—featuring live-on-camera vocals by stars Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen and Russell Crowe, among others—will now be available to iPhone-toting moviegoers itching to purchase the music as the closing credits roll. While the physical release date remains 12/25, retailers will be permitted to place the soundtrack on shelves on 12/21 if shipments arrive by then. (12/17p)
