Well hang in their folks, I am just putting the final touches on my review of Livid Productions' production of Spamalot- because I am in the library and being Gold Cup day there is only a limited amount of time...however here is something for those who need some info now;
- The show went off well considering it being opening night and assuming that this was the first time in front of a paid audience.
- There were still some technical problems, but nothing that the Entertainment Centre is not already known for, and the cast were totally professional in not letting the mishaps stop their performance- well done team!
- A few timing issues, and stage props issues, but nothing that did not work well or that the audience did not get a laugh at.
- The songs are strong and powerful, and when the whole cast is on stage it is quite engaging and entrancing.
- I am slightly disappointed I could not meet up with the cast afterwards- but most either have jobs or school the next morning- and just helps to highlight Livid's ability to draw great theatrical potential from the region- the fresh faces mixed quite well with the Livid regulars. I also did not get to catch up with the band, but well I got a free feed from some friends- free feed or wait in the cold for people who would probably have a party tonight or tomorrow- the weekend is the start of my week really.
- Book your seats- really the opportunity to engage in the hilarity of the show and the local cast is a treat, and would be a great ending for those finishing the races today. Giddy up, and head on down to the Entertainment Centre- and see a different kind of horse parade around on stage.
Looking forward to the full review.
