Spamalot

OK, have now moved on to Toronto but got bored with the city during daylight hours quite quickly. All too modern for my liking.
So, on passing a theatre just up the street from where I am staying and seeing that Eric Idle's musical Spamalot was on, I thought I'd see if I could get hold of a ticket. Well I did, and a cheap one too. Was queueing at the box office to see what they could offer when a lady with a spare stalls seat came and offered the spare for half price ($43 instead of 86). Bargain!
Just have to say that if you're a Python fan, then go and see it in London when it opens or whereever. If you're not a Python fan, (why not?) then go and see it anyway. Haven't laughed so much in a long time.


Just have one line to quote (that I suspect has been added to the script fairly recently):

Scene: King Arthur and his knights are being taunted by French soldiers from their castle ramparts.
French soldier (amongst all sorts of general abuse - you'll know what I mean if you've seen the Holy Grail) "And zen we will 'ead butt you (pause) in ze chest".
