If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

New Broadway show: The Pirate Queen!
New off-Broadway show: Evil Dead: The Musical!
Broadway revivals: Les Miserables and Company!

I fully intend flying over from the UK sometime earlyish next year (end of February, beginning of March?) and sincerely hope to be able to catch all four of these shows while I'm there. :3

(finally TWO Boublil and Schonberg musicals on Broadway at once! The world is suddenly looking a little rosier)

Apparently you completely missed the 80s and 90s when MISS SAIGON and LES MISERABLES dominated Broadway in addition to those other two British blockbusters.

At this moment, I am most looking forward to THE PIRATE QUEEN.

I know I'm lame, but I'm most excited for 'A Tale of Two Cities' (that is if it's still coming)

'Spring Awakening' and 'Grey Gardens' are a close second because I missed them.
