Some ADD random fandom for you:
Two New York Times articles on the ill-fated Paris revival, spaced six months apart. Kind of sad, really.
October 30, 1991.
May 16, 1992.
Interview with Herbert Kretzmer published in The Barricade back in 1998. Addresses things like why the lyrics to A Heart Full of Love are so stupid, how Valjean's animosity towards Marius during the barricade scenes got the chop, the mysterious non-rhyming lyric in Castle on a Cloud, and assorted other things. PDF; HTML.
(Side note: it makes me sad that The Barricade was before my time. If anyone has old issues they could send or scan, I would love you forever.)
Karen Elliott is going to be auctioning off small props and memorabilia she's collected in her time in the tour and Broadway ensemble, I assume on ebay. So keep an eye out.
It occurs to me that while I'd love to see I Saw Him Once actually performed, I really don't want to hear what they'd do to the orchestrations. The current string-quartet arrangement on Broadway would ruin it, to say nothing of a subpar Cosette.
Tangentially related, but... the Nomenclature des voies database is down! This makes me unhappy. :(
