A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I think if I don't get to see this cast perform this show, I might wind up considering my life completely wasted.
I Googled Spamalot reviews, and they seem pretty unanimously and enthusiastically positive. I think I feel the same way Sean does on this, but I may have a good ticket source (not that they'd be cheap).
Tim Curry as King Arthur. God is smiling.
I will settle for a DVD of the stage production with this cast, but otherwise I think I'll spend the rest of my life in a Sir Bedevere costume, staring wistfully out a window in the direction of Broadway, like some twisted, Pythonesque Mrs. Havisham.
(With all love and respect to our own Mrs. H, of course)
Tim Curry as King Arthur. God is smiling.
God is played by John Cleese, or at least voiced by him.
Of course, a non-white WW still wouldn't lead to Gina Torres getting the part.
Nope. If they went that way, it would probably be Oscar Winning Actress® Halle Berry, because she's the only one who could bring the proper empowerment to the part. t /sarcasm

Get me footage of this, and I'll sneak a video camera into the theatre for you.

Plus, she kicks such ass in comic book roles.

I suppose if Gina is pushing the age barrier too, than Angela Bassett is well out of the question. Plus, I don't thinks she's played an ass-kicker since STRANGE DAYS.
squeeing over Frank's whitefont.
There damned well better be a CD off of this.

If Gina is Wonder Woman, Angela Bassett could be Queen Hippolyta.
I'm trying to think what actresses fit the physical type of WW, and all I can come up with are ones who scare me:
Demi Moore and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
