Spamalot

Tonight (this morning) will be a short post, but I felt like sharing.

Today hubby's brother and his brother's girlfriend came to visit. This has been planned for some time as we were going to see Spamalot. Originally, we were going to take hubby's dad who is a HUGE Monty Python fan and we also invited the rest of the family. Unfortunately, my father-in-law and his wife are in the process of moving to Ohio where he recently started new job and no one else was interested.

Anyway, if you haven't seen Spamalot you absolutely MUST see it! It is hysterically funny! I attend many plays/musicals and have enjoyed 99% of them. However, I have never enjoyed one so much I said, "It's over already?" I think it might have been shorter than other plays that I've seen, but still...it flew!! Granted I am a Monty Python fan...although I don't consider myself a huge fan...but I think this play is better than the movie it is taken from.

Ladies, if you have a man that shies away from the theater (but loves to watch women who are scantily dressed) you might be able to drag him to this. Let him know that there are a number of scenes where women come out in very small costumes. In one spot, a model-looking blonde walks across the stage a couple of times in nothing but white underwear (with bra or bustier...sp?), garter belt, stockings and heels.

In addition to finding the show really funny, I also loved the brightly colored costumes, props and backgrounds. Not everything was bright, but there were a lot of bright colors. And the actors and actresses were fabulous!! The woman the played the "Lady of the Lake" has a voice that blew me away!

So, if you are looking for a way to spend an afternoon or evening with a lot of laughs...give Spamalot a try. If you decide to see it...enjoy!

Until later...
