Spamalot review: ogden was wrong.

 

Did he say good or bad? And has anyone seen Avenue Q?

 

Where did you see it ?

 

IIRC, he said "It looks shit."

Que?

 

In a theatre.

 

Precisely. So how was I wrong?

I'm disinclined to believe it _isn't_ shit either, but it certainly
looks shit.

Grown-up sweary Sesame Street. The consensus between those what matter
was it might be worth seeing if it wasn't a musical.

 

Watched it on Broadway, was fantastic, even though we had mediocre
seats.

 

Where was the theatre located ? (Country-wise)

 

Oh, I see: England.

 

Ta. It was on (I think) at the Wynn in Las Vegas when I was there but
I failed to get to see it. I was just wondering whether the septic
version was different or any good at all.

I figured that it was unlikely that was the one you saw but the stuff
that turns up in here frequently suprises me.

 

Work in progress () gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying :

Yes, and loved it.

 

Ta. I have a hankering for a musical and it has MUPPETS! What's not to
like?

 

In general I'd agree, but I quite enjoyed "Return to the forbidden
planet[1]". Does that make me gay?

[1] "Shakespeare's forgotten rock & roll masterpiece." Which I saw two
or three times, IIRC.

RHPS is the one, the one and only, exception to the above rule, afaic.

It's got macho posturing, camp leads, inyerface singers and fishnet
tights on a bloke - with all that going on, you don't have to be camp at
all, the fillum does it for you.

 

"It's boil-in-the-bag perversion for sexually repressed accountants and
first-year drama students with too many posters of Betty Blue, The Blues
Brothers, Big Blue and Blue Velvet on their blue bloody walls!"

 

Yes.

 

Fair play, but I didn't refer to PJ O'Rourke once.
