As a mother of two 20-something sons, I felt that us going to Spamalot should be a natural, historical education for them. We attended Wednesday's performance, the second night of its Eugene engagement. I wager that the house will be sold out by the weekend performances.
Act I was nostalgic as the cast reenacts scenes with favorite characters and lines that I used to chant over and over when I was a twenty-something myself years ago. And, before I became concerned that it was just a gltized-up Broadway tribute to the movie, with a sketch here and a sketch there, things change up a bit after intermission. In Act II, related and unrelated plot twists and trips down the proverbial garden path are thrown in. The "Lady of the Lake" has a killer voice. John O'Hurley from "Seinfeld" does King Arthur justice. There's silliness galore, Vegas-esque tunes, chorus girls with the best abs this side of Sin City, flying nuns and, of course, a shrubbery. Even Eugene's duck shooting U of Students are mentioned. Then, add pyrotechnics, cool special effects, a jab at Andrew Lloyd Weber -- AND a surprise award. What have you got? A great show and overall, a great romp!
Go see it and enjoy it as if you were still in your twenties, fellow Baby Boomers. Enjoy the show and cheer out loud when your favorite character comes on stage. Mine was Tim. I hope he heard me!
