A kilt in Spamalot

[northernsky]

Went casually kilted (4 yd Hunting Mackinnon w/ a button down white shirt and sandals--sorry no pics) to the Vancouver production of Monty Python's Spamalot. Some members of the audience were convinced I was a part of Act 2! Couldn't get over that I would wear a kilt to the theatre. I was quite surprised that there were only a handful of people 'dressed' for the theatre. It was a warm evening and Vancouver is a very casual city, but still I thought people still dressed up for such occasions.

BTW the show was fabulous! They certainly are equal opportunity offenders. They hit below the belt everywhere! The singing and dancing were superb and the production was first class all around.

Glad you enjoyed it, Sky. I saw it on Broadway beginning of last year. It reminded me why I'm not a Monty Python fan.

Say, why don't you take of pic of yourself dressed as you did that night, just as an illustration, in order to keep this thread kilt related?

Or perhaps a mod could move it to off topic if it really bothers others in it's placement...

You lucky soul Northern... I love Monty Python. I'd love to see Spamalot. Now I know that you would think. That more people would be dressed for the theater. But with it being Monty Python casual was probably appropriate.

I still think The Holy Grail is my favorites. It's influenced so many things. There is a game called EverQuest that I used to play that the Holy Grail influenced in one section according to a developer. It was an npc called Sirran The Lunatic. He was a pain in the behind to deal with because if you did something wrong he would attack you and prior to the attack you get this message: Now you've done it! The bunnies are angry! Angry I tell you!"

If the part of King Arthur was played by Christopher Gurr (He is/was in the touring cast this past Spring) he is a kiltie, and a customer. He bought this sporran



and so I now can claim my sporrans "By Appointment to His Majesty Arthur, King of the Britons"

Tongue in cheek, of course

I wore a kilt and Argyle when I went to see Spamalot in Vegas a while back. I've also seen it in London. It's a great show, and it's a great adaptation of of the Holy Grail. I'll probably see it again if I get the chance.

I wore my kilt to the West End (London) production of Spamalot. My wife and I had a drink in the bar before the show and several people asked me if I was in the show. Great Show. Just wished I had sat in D-1.

This is true in Spokane as well. I wear a kilt to the theatre because I respect the effort that the players, etc make. I expect them to put forth their best effort and want to honor that effort by dressing in an appropriate way.

BTW the show was fabulous! They certainly are equal opportunity offenders. They hit below the belt everywhere! The singing and dancing were superb and the production was first class all around.

I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I wear my kilt everytime I go to the opera. If it's an evening performance, I'll wear my PC. I plan to see Spamalot in London this October.........can't wait.
