Finally managed to see Spamalot- Marcus Brigstocke as the King, Todd Carty as Patsy. Suspect I would have gone mad over it as a teenager in the acute Python phase, but as it is I had a a whole lot of fun. It was over-amplified so I put earplugs in, which always gives a disconnected feeling, and then the mics were cutting out a bit in the first act, but Brigstocke managed to get an IC gag about it, which was nice. I liked all the bits shoehorned in from different places (I swear there were a couple of bars of "Rhubarb Tart" in the overture). "Song That Goes Like This" and "All Alone" reminded me of Mitch Benn's song West End Musical- convergent evolution! And the patter-song was good.
Also took the chance to try a new burrito place, which was adequate, so that's useful to know.
