Weekend things to do: 'Les Miz,' Matisyahu, SantaCon, Helado Negro and a Cuban Coquito
"SantaCon is here, as the Claus-clad masses gather for bar crawls in Delray Beach and Fort Lauderdale to celebrate in public displays of, um, holiday spirit? Not to sound like your mom or Father Christmas, but can we remember that when you don the red-and-white you are repping a cherished brand and an image. Nobody wants to see stumbling drunk Santa, especially when there are kids around. Be jolly, not Blitzened."
"Don't Miz out: This is opening weekend for the Broadway touring production of epic Tony-winning musical " Les Misérables" at the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale, with performances through Dec. 28. Weekend shows will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, and 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets start at $54.58 at Ticketmaster.com. For more information, visit BrowardCenter.org."
