Have we not had enough snow yet? What the heck?
Anyhow, saw "Spamalot" last night. It was not all it's cracked up to be. I think it's rather a case of the whole not equalling the sum of the parts, on some level, but many of the jokes fall flat. The new ones often are not funny, or are too cliche, and the Python jokes, well, they've been done before, and so much better.
Except, maybe, when John Cleese, as the pre-recorded voice of God, tells Arthur to "Stop looking up my skirt!"
If you go, though, make sure to read the program from page one. Don't just open to the middle. Just trust me on this one.
Oh, and speaking of white, I have to say that this was the whitest cast of any musical I've seen lately... that was rather odd, given that Broadway has been seeming rather multi-cultural lately. Anyhow, I don't have time to discuss that further, as I have to get to work.
