Are you saying coconuts migrate?

We spent our first Friday night in London properly, a night in the West End. It was one of those last minute decisions that played out brilliantly.

We got to Leicester (pronounced Lester) square and sought out some half price ticket booths (there are many, so "some" is appropriate). After some heartbreaking attempts, we found a booth that fit our price: 24 pounds (still haven't figured out where the pound could/would be found on my keyboard) for Spamalot starring Alan Dale as King Arthur.

We were excited!! We had an hour before the show so to kill time so we grabbed a bite. A half an hour before the show we headed to the theatre.


It was brilliant. There was a souvenir stand "Ole Rippe Offe Shoppe", which spoke the truth of its prices, no thank you. We got to our seats on the second floor. The seats weren't bad, plus you could hire binoculars for 50p, which I did because it helped during the solos.


The show was awesome same Monty Python Humor, but better. They kept the best parts from the movie and added things for the stage that worked really well. I was rolling ... maybe a little loudly .. .. but still rolling.

The killer rabbit rocked my world LOLOLOLOL

The best part, it was still cheaper to watch it here than in the states because tickets are usually about $50!!! (still know where the dollar sign is)

Salaam,

I figure the exchange rate means you paid about 50 bucks. Still worth it.

Please tell me they had someone saying your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

Oh they most certainly did!!!

They also had the knights that say Ni and then they becaome the knights of (honestly can't remember the first part)punch me in the bossom lololol!!

It was funny because Alan Dale broke character and laughed, we figured the knight improved that part and Dale wasn't expecting it.

You speak true way worth it!!!
