I love this show. We saw it 3 times back in Vegas. So when the opportunity arose for us to see it as a family, there was never a doubt. I picked a Saturday matinee, because there was no soccer to interrupt us. Boy was I glad!
All week Charlotte has been threatened with an ice storm. Now it is due to start at 6pm tonight. We ran to to Eric's (from soccer) family, who had scrambled to get tickets, as they were originally booked for Saturday night's performance, that has already been cancelled.
We got Uptown (too) early and went and had lunch at Cowbell. It was perfect warming food for the freeze that was happening outside. We had some time to kill afterwards, but opted to wait in the foyer of the Belk Theater, just to escape the cold. We also had the obligatory finding of Mrs. Y, B's 3rd grade teacher.
And the show. Just as funny as I remembered. The full version, not the 90 minute scaled down Vegas version. Casting was great, and how can you not like Monty Python and the Holy Grail set to music. Mom & B loved it as well. L could take it or leave it. I think he is a musical non-lover. He's rather of been anywhere else (again).
It's important to me to give the boys these experiences, something that is not the norm, and hopefully expand their interests. We left in a great mood, only to drive home through the start of sleet. Spamalot did the right thing by cancelling their Saturday night and Sunday shows. While we only ended up getting .25 inch of ice, in Charlotte that is Armageddon. We're just not prepared for it, as shown by the kids getting 3 days off school for it, and to have people out on the road would just be dangerous.
Fechez la vache!
