I hope everyone had a fun & relaxing holiday weekend. Mine was fun, but, definitely not relaxing. The highlight happened on Sunday. We went to the theater with Tom's parents to see Spamelot on Broadway. Spamelot is a musical based on Monty Python's movie The Holy Grail. Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce & Hank Azaria star in it & Mike Nichols directs. I'm not sure what I was expecting. The reviews were great, but I kept thinking to myself - 2 hours of the movie replayed for the stage? How funny can it possibly be? How are they going to pull off the Black Knight? Well, all I can say is, I've never laughed so hard in the theater before. It was brilliant! The acting, dancing, costumes, sets & songs were so innovative. This show is not PC. They made fun of every major political group, religion, race & sexual preference. How refreshing!!! And yes, they did a very good job with the Black knight scene. After the show, the souvenirs included cans of spam & little stuffed killer rabbits. I highly recommend it to anyone coming to visit NYC.
So good to hear good reviews of Spamelot! It sounds interesting, and to hear a positive review is all the reason more to go...I hope to be in NYC this fall. =) So hopefully, it will still be going on.
Great to hear you had so much fun last weekend at the theatre. I've only been to the theatre a few times... and its been ages now! I reckon I prefer going to gigs and to the cinema... but if I get to find a great play, i'll go again though! Thanks for visiting my blog from Michele's. I'm relieved to find someone who actually knows who Yngwie and Doogie are... phewww! I'll let you know about the gig! ;-D
I am taking my 12 year old nephew in October. I am so proud that he is a Monty Python fan. I have only heard great things about the play and am glad you liked it too.

So glad you enjoyed it. My mother bought the soundtrack while she was visiting us...and we played it. It sounded pretty hilarious.
