Spamalot

Traci, Jeromy and I have season tickets to the Stranahan Theater in Toledo. This is the second year we've gotten tickets, and we really enjoy it. We've been able to see some amazing shows (we've also seen a couple we could have done without). :-)

Friday night's show was one of the amazing ones, and it was absolutely hysterical! We went to see Monty Python's Spamalot which is a musical based on the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I was introduced to this movie in college - a friend of mine, Steve Paver, loved it and got me hooked). It was absolutely hilarious - due to the references to the movie and also to the spoofs about other musicals (or even musicals in general).

Traci found a site where you can watch clips from the musical. If you are familiar with the movie (and it might help if you like it as well), you'll definitely want to check these out! Some of my favorites are the top left (it's based on the "I'm not dead yet!" part) and the third one in the bottom row (it's from the song called "The Song That Goes Like This" - making fun of that "typical" mushy song in all musicals).
