Watch the videos to get some idea of the wacky show :lol:
Have put this thread in here as the cinema is the nearest to a theatre :lol: and there isn't a theatre sub-forum unless I am missing it somehow :huh: Matthew perhaps we could have one? Just a thought ;)
Anyway we went to see Spamalot last week at the Palace Theatre in London, absolutely fantastically funny; awesome. If you like Monty Python you'll love this; its based on The Holy Grail.
We started off by getting tickets from the "Ticket Booth" in Leicester Square for the evening performance and these were half price - we paid £60.00 for 2 seats in the stalls row N. The Palace Theatre is old and the seating is very compact :( We stat down to enjoy the show and the whole row behind us had rowdies in it, laughing so loud at nothing sometimes we think they were a little tipsy. Anyway we could not hear the dialogue in the first half and their rowdiness spoilt it for us. At the interval I went to speak to an usher to ask if it was fully booked and the answer was yes no other seats available :( I explained that we had paid good money for our seats and we didn't know what to do as we could return to them, anyway he got the manager who was superb, he spoke to a colleague and we ended up, just me and hubby, sitting in one of their "boxes" overlooking the stage :wow: we could see everything and were so close to the actors :thumbs: So a good night was had by us :thumbs:
Peter Davison was King Arthur and Sir Lancelot (or Prancealot) was Ex Corrie man Charlie Stubbs :o He was absolutely fantastic, I didn't realise he could sing, dance make a fool of himself and be a comedian - superb.
So if anyone remembers and likes Monty Python and you are visiting London and want to see a good show try it :thumbs:
