Spamalot
It's easy to forget that thin, ridiculously silly Spamalot is an awful lot of fun; I enjoyed it even more this second time than when I saw it in previews two years ago. The current ensemble is tight and, surprise, I missed the original stars not at all. As King Arthur, Jonathan Hadary is oddly endearing besides being funny, the stillness at the eye of the hurricane just as Tim Curry was. Marin Mazzie has a blast and sings with panache as The Lady of The Lake, Lewis Cleale is a perfect sparkling-toothed Galahad, and on and on. Even before Rick Holmes' second act ad lib about Anna Nicole Smith, this current troupe looked like they were having a blast on stage. That kind of thing is contagious.

Since none of us are ever going to see that performance again, perhaps you could tell us what the Anna Nicole ad-lib was?
Sure. He wrapped up his speech as leader of the Knights Who Say "Ni!" by proclaiming that he was the father of Anna Nicole's baby.
