Year Two Day One Hundred and Six - Spamalot

Dear all,

After months of waiting, today we set sail for Orillia and the illustrious 'Casino Rama', https://www.casinorama.com/index.html ( now famous after Russel Brand's unfortunate run in with immigration in an attempt to get to his gig there) to go and see *drum roll please*... Month's Python's Spamalot!

We took Anna and Dale, neither of whom had seen any Monthy Python, or even for that matter any Fawlty Towers, Blackadder etc etc... this would be a treat! http://www.montypythonsspamalot.com

We managed to get cracking seats as I had booked the tickets months ago. The heart warming theme tune to Monty Python was playing in the background and I started to get excited. I was very interested to see how Anna and Dale would fair... as many of you will know.. Monty Python is very English and VERY strange but also rip-roaring-ly funny.. so I was hoping this would pull us through. 

Needless to say, they enjoyed it. It was hard not too really. We were greeted with back to back musical numbers but all were very tongue in cheek, well acted and well choreographed. The costumes alone were spectacular, as you can see from some of these production stills. 

 Highlights for me included the Black Knight *but it's only a flesh wound*, the Knights that say 'Ni', the cow flying over the castle walls and the gay musical sing-off from Sir. Lancelot. The film is based, loosely but directly on the iconic 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail', a film most certainly ranked in my top 15. I was ecstatic. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/

Spamalot has come and gone to Orillia but I would definitely urge fans and non-fans alike to go see it for an evening of harmless, medieval merriment. In the meantime folks.. *Run Away*!!!
