London or Bust: An Update

Exactly one week ago, I wrote a post describing how I felt the universe was telling me that I need to go to London this summer. In the span of seven short days, the universe has been pulling out the stops, and if I were a more flighty person (who didn't live with her parents), my flight would already be booked.

Here's the complete list of events that have occurred in the past week:
  • Two weeks ago, Killian Donnelly and Gareth Gates announced they were leaving Les Misrables at the next cast change on June 18.
  • Two days ago, Matt Lucas, Hadley Fraser, and Alfie Boe announced they would be returning to Les Mis at the next cast change (meaning that I'd see some of my actors no matter when I went).
  • Two hours ago, my friend Rachel emailed me the itinerary for her family's European vacation, and they will be in London from June 10 to June 18 (reinforcing my belief that I absolutely must see Killian and Gareth).
  • Last week I discovered a rumor that David Thaxton would be taking over as Raoul next month during the cast change for Love Never Dies.
  • On Monday, the rumor was confirmed in the same press release that announced Ramin Karimloo would be staying on as The Phantom until September (giving me the entire summer to see two former Enjolras' on the same stage).
  • Today I was offered a job at Target working as a cashier, which would allow me to pay for a trip to London this summer.
This is fate, right? Hopefully my parents think so and approve of this plan!
