Hi. My name is Zannah, and I’m a Les Mis-aholic. Kind of. (Whoops. Failed already.) I’ve seen the show five times I can think of off-hand (possibly six), and I never get tired of it. On my way to work this morning, I heard on the radio that it’ll be at the Kennedy Center for the whole month of October. I want to go! I won’t make John go this time. He’s gone twice (once when we were in college, and once a couple of summers ago (he bought me the tickets for Christmas – made me cry)), and he was underwhelmed both times. The question becomes (once I decide it’s worth $100 to me (it totally is, but I can’t be objective about whether or not that’s a ridiculous sum of money)) do I go alone? Silly question. Of course I’d go alone. But maybe I don’t have to….are my friends (the local ones, anyway) cuckoo for Les Mis-flavored Cocoa Puffs?
Margaret
I want to go!! I heard it was coming ot the Kennedy Center and got really excited too. I saw it once when I was about 11 and fell in love with it and have listened to the music about a zillion times since…not sure we’ll be able to drag Erik…
Amanda
I’ve never seen it!! (sad i know) I want to go too. Maybe a girls night out? Greg is a no go. LOL
Zannah
Awesome. 🙂 We’re on. Check out http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/index.cfm?fuseaction=showEvent&event=TMTSA and let me know which days work best for you guys. The only days I can’t go are the 8th and 9th of October.
Margaret
Zannah, I think we owe it to Amanda to expose her to the awesomeness that is Les Mis…
Margaret
I can go anytime, really. I assume weekends are better in terms of work schedules, yes? And I assume you guys don’t want the crappy $45 seats? So exciting!
Melvin?
Uh, count me in. Seriously. Mark won’t wanna go and maybe I can get a weekend away out of it? Too fun. Seen it 3 times, I think. One show MORE! (at least, naturally, just wanted to get the song reference in.)
Zannah
Yes, weekends are better, and yes, I’d prefer not-crappy seats. Mind, take a look at the schedule and let us know what might work better for you, since you’d be traveling.
I’m very excited.

Not fair. I won’t be able to come in October. Just beware, anybody that goes with Z, be prepared for massive weeping….from Z and Melvin?.
momma betty
Maybe I should have been more explicit: prepare for out loud embarrassing sobbing. (But if I were there, I’d be doing it, too.)
Amanda
LOL! I’ll remember to bring extra tissues. I can go anytime and you guys can decide on the seats. I’m up for anything.
Zannah
Cool. I’ll bug Mindy to look at a calendar.
The last few times my weeping has been a bit more subdued, Mom. I went with Adam and Simone a few years ago, cried some during the show, sure, but I bawled my eyes out once I was in the car by myself. Maybe if I’m not alone, I can keep it under control. 🙂
Zannah
Also, Mom, you might be thinking of Miss Saigon. That was some ridiculous crying as the lights went up.
Melvin?
Night show, matinee (almost typed “manatee” there but fixed it, embarrassing!), Saturday, Sunday? I should think I could probably get a flight in Friday if I book it soon enough. Doesn’t matter to me. If we go later in the month, they should have all the kinks worked out.
Jess
Coming a little late to the party, here, but if I can convince myself to spend the money, I might be up for this. And if we can do it around the 15th of October, that would be ideal because Chuck will likely be underway for COMPTUEX for a couple of weeks and I’ll be all by my lonesome self. But, really, it can be any time.
Jess
Who am I kidding? Of COURSE I can spend the money.
Zannah
This is going to be SO MUCH FUN.
Jess
Aww, I like how you went from excited to “SO MUCH FUN” in big capital letters like that after I joined the fray. 🙂
(Is that even how you spell fray? It’s not a word I use often.)
