Spamalot Premieres in Los Angeles!

Monty Python's Spamalot starts tonight at the Ahmanson Theater in downtown LA! The show just ended its 4 year run on Broadway, winning multiple Tony Awards including the 2005 statuette for best musical, as well as a 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. I had the chance to see it- and it's a hilarious, laugh out loud comedy. The LA musical will star John O'Hurley, who also played the role in the Las Vegas production.

Musical night

I went to see "The Drowsy Chaperone" Saturday at the Ahmanson. Knowing nothing about this musical before I saw it- I was pleasantly surprised at how great it was. It is a delightful and clever comedy- about a 1920's show brought back to life to the audience through a man in his apartment. The costumes were 20's period so you can imagine gorgeous. My favorite costume of the night was this ethereal nightgown worn by the leading lady (played by Andrea Chamberlain):

The 1920's wedding outfit.






Unfortunately- this was the last weekend in LA- but it still is touring around California until October.
