Okay, folks. I’m finally putting fingers to keyboard and sharing my thoughts about the overwhelming experience of touring with Les Miserables. This is my serious post. Don’t worry. There will be a funny one too. Trying the caption thing so swipe through to read the whole thing.

It’s a running joke in theatre that you can pick one of three things, and two of three if you’re really lucky: Money, resume, fulfillment. Les Mis has given me all three in spades.

There’s something indescribable about the silence during Bring Him Home or the roar after One Day More that I have never felt on any other stage with any other show.

However, I would be remiss to give all the credit to the material. The guttural feelings of the audience extend to all of us onstage, backstage, and in the pit.

You have to be a little insane to drag an 11 truck tour of a massively complicated show with a company of over 80 people around the continent. I always describe our company as a circus. Kids, babies, pets, friends, hobbies, cookware, instruments, vehicles (scooters, bikes and one-wheels included) plus nebulizers, humidifiers, sleep masks, more drugs than a pharmacy, Chinese herbal remedies, electrolytes, and so many water bottles. It is a daunting task and it works because of our community.

I started jokingly and then seriously referring to our tour as a traveling commune, and it caught on. Part of why touring is so addicting is that you get to embody the ideals of community. You’re trapped with your 80 coworkers in hotels and airbnbs and busses and planes and theaters. Do you like everybody? No. Do you crave alone time? Absolutely. But you are where you are and you make the best of it.

Community isn’t about all being best friends or “family” as our capitalist bosses like to throw around. Community is supporting and embracing the people around you despite your differences.

It’s intoxicating to be able to ask our WhatsApp for a stick of butter and have three people offer one up. To know that someone has a self tape set up you can borrow. To always have someone to walk home with even if you’re not that friendly. For the community to function, everyone has to opt in and make the b

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d have the opportunity to play such beautiful, iconic music - and what an honor and privilege to sit beside my talented, brilliant, kind bandmates night after night. I’ve learned so much, and am filled with gratitude for everyone who made this experience so special. Additional thank you to the lovely crew who helped me pack, move, and cover my harp! 🥐🇫🇷

Bonus: Explaining the plot to mom after she watched the whole show.

no day more at the barricade

playing this show was a dream come true, ten-year-old me is pinching myself watching the 25th Anniversary concert in blu-ray. I learned so much from my talented bandmates who have poured their hearts full of love into this show for years, thank you for welcoming me into the Les Mis family 🇫🇷🥖
