I’m not dead yet!
An awesome perk of living near a major metropolitan city is being able to enjoy the touring Broadway shows.
This month’s selection: Monty Python’s Spamalot! Oh yeah buddy! And let me tell you, you should see this. Really. It’s funny throughout. Especially the taunting Frenchmen.
The stage show was really great and it was awesome seeing J. Peterman [or you know, John O’Hurley] prance around on an invisible horse as King Arthur. I also loved all of the witty irreverent banter of the play, especially when they broke the fourth wall and pulled in the orchestra leader in on a few jokes. There was even a little audience participation [I so wish I was the lucky one...the guy also got a picture taken with the cast. So lucky!!!].
I met Tami there and we both had a fantastic time. It’s been a little bit since I last saw the movie [a few years back after forcing Lindsey to watch it…who only enjoyed the killer rabbit part] and I know it’s been years since Tam last saw the movie. We left singing “Always look on the bright side of life” [even though that was from “Life of Brian” and not Holy Grail].
It was amusing to see how some people dressed for the show. I guess because it’s a Broadway play they feel the need to dress up, but come on, it’s Spamalot. Not Les Misérables. I saw a few women that looked like they were going to hit a club after the show. Though I did see one guy dressed up as Tim the Enchanter. Bonus points for that guy.
I’m eagerly looking forward to the lineup announcement for next season. I really hope Legally Blonde comes back because I’d so love to see that. What else is playing on Broadway?
But I will say that I feel fortunate enough to have been able to catch these shows, especially Wicked.
Now that my Broadway season is over I’m really looking forward to checking out the King Tut exhibit that’s coming to town. Yes you did hear my inner Egyptologist squeal with delight. Tam plans on taking the kids to check it out and invited me to join them. I can’t wait!
