General-interest Québec City Les Mis info post!
So here is the deal. Québec City is putting on another run of their fantabulous Les Mis regional, and it's playing this summer. It is in French and if it's anything like the one I saw in October, it's about as true to the Brick as the musical is going to get. I've talked to a couple of people who want to go, and the best date appears to be the weekend of July 18. So who's interested?
Since Québec is so damn far away, this trip really is open to anyone sort of vaguely on the East coast. Basically, Northampton, Massachusetts is going to be the rendezvous point, because a) I'm working there at the moment, b) I have a double dorm room to myself with an extra bed and plenty of floor space, and c) it's not that hard to get to Québec from here. It's maybe a five- or six-hour drive, most of which is straight up I-90.
General plan: Everyone drives to Northampton on a Friday or Saturday night and crashes in the spare bed or on my floor or wherever. The next morning we pile into as few cars as possible--either we wake up super early to catch a matinee in order to drive back the same day, or we sleep in a bit and attend the evening show and get back in the small hours of morning. When we get back, anyone who needs sleep is free to stay in my room again, and after everyone is rested we go our separate ways.
Now, I'm not claiming my floor is particularly comfortable, but the two main benefits are that consolidating cars saves gas money, and that having a free crash pad in Massachusetts means nobody from the Mid-Atlantic is forced to make two fourteen-hour drives in a row and pay for a hotel along the way.
So, let me know if you have any interest in joining the Grand Adventure. Even if you're not sure you can make it (due to scheduling or money or parental permission or whatever), I'd like to know how many people are interested.
