Spamalot

Funny, funny, funny!!!

Spamalot was a fantastic show, from the opening scene with the Finnish dancers (if you want to know why, you'll have to go!) to the "ending that goes like this" and the audience sing-a-long to "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"! I am not the world's biggest Monty Python fan, although I do like their stuff. But this was hysterically funny, silly and intelligent all at the same time. I would highly recommend this show, even at full price. It is well worth the money.

We had great seats, thanks to my friend, Carole, who has a son-in-law in the cast (understudy to King Arthur and several of the knights), but they weren't cheap! The Palace Theatre is a gorgeous example of Victorian architecture and the sets were great.

We went to eat at a restaurant called Sugar Reef on a special dinner deal and it was great! The food was lovely, the waiter was delightfully Irish and mildly camp, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant. The service was slow, but that was because they were short-handed, apparently. This meant that we had to run for the theatre to make the 8:00 show and just made it in time.

So, there's my review of Spamalot. Look for upcoming reviews of "Sing-a-long Sound of Music" and "Avenue Q".
