A Different Kind of Creative

My funny bone has been completely entertained and my internal jogging has my inners in tip top shape. Why? I just saw the Broadway musical Spamalot.

It is a musical based off the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Sunday Times said it, "Raises silliness to an art form". It's true! It really was creativity at it's best. The set designs were incredible, the costumes mesmerizing, songs witty and the actors....well they were just amazing! To be able to sing well AND dance AND have comedic timing is an impressive combination.

When the forest guarded by the Knights that say NI unfolded I was in awe of the trees. I wish I had thought to draw trees that way! It appeared some of the trees were stitched in a net curtain with others being tree dimensional that the actors could move about through. A special instrument was created and used only in Spamalot and special 'mud' makeup also was created just for this musical. After the show we went for dessert with a couple that had joined us and replayed all our favorite moments. I don't think I am going to leave my easel and brushes and head to Broadway but I would be in creative company if I did!
