I'm having trouble locating anything about this, but it seemed like many songs were in a higher key than the original (which is odd, because movies usually get transposed down). I suppose it could be that the tessitura of those cast aren't what we're used to hearing - rumor is that Amanda S. is a classically trained mezzo, but we're obviously used to hearing a soprano sing Cosette. It makes a difference to the ears.
