Spamalot!

So tonite is Spamalot, the Tony award winning musical based on Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. We've had tickets since like August, and not only are Alex and I going, but I know Rob and Janet and I think Mike and Bridge are going. Woohoo! Big group!

I love the theatre. If I was sure it would pay, I would be an actor...a very mediocre actor. I would ASPIRE to be the guy on the heat pad commercial saying "I can really feel it working!" Anyway...

I also love going to the theatre with Alex. We've been to Les Miserables already, which I have seen like 4 times. (See Les Miserables, this blog) This would have been the first time I saw Spamalot, except...

On Halloween Night, Alex came home and said "Hey, my mom has an extra ticket to the opening night of Spamalot tonight...I have class...do you want to go with her?"

So I did go out, just me and Dr. Johnson, to the theatre. It was very nice company and the production was so fun. Different enough that if you saw Holy Grail you'll catch a lot, but a lot of new stuff as well.

Anywho, tonight it will be more fun 'cause I'm dressed up with my babydoll next to me. I cannot wait.


We're knights of the Round Table
We dance whene'er we're able
We do routines and chorus scenes with footwork impec-cable
We dine well here in Camelot
We eat ham and jam and Spam-a-lot!

We're knights of the Round Table
Our shows are for-mi-dable
But many times we're given rhymes that are quite un-sing-able
We're opera mad in Camelot
We sing from the diaphragm a lot!

In war we're tough and able
Quite in-de-fa-ti-gable
Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable
It's a busy life in Camelot

I have to push the pram a lot!

ARTHUR: On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
