Help, help, I'm being oppressed!

Currently: Still giggling. Look on the bright side of life!

That was the only line from the movie that I actually missed. I also missed the witch/duck scene, the castle of Zoot, and the questioner at the bridge, but they were more than made up by:

- Lancelot is Y-M-C-Gay! Flaming, in fact! And marries the singing prince in the Camelot Chapel O' LUV.

- But we haven't any Jews (la la la)...except, of course, for Patsy. Sir Robin just stole the show.

- Dennis Galahad.

- The first of the Diva scenes - Gweniviere. Duh. She was kind of overwrought and annoying, much like an actual diva (more's the point, I suppose), but had the tres awesome reversible blue/wedding dress.

- The Laker girls. Heh. I'm not even a guy, and I can appreciate the um, assets they brought to the show.

- The macarena-ing, taunting mime especially, of the French townsfolk.

- Find your grail....in D101. Audience participation!

So the "You've been in a Broadway show...this whole time!" was terribly drawn out and silly-meta, but other than that, I'd have to say, Camelot, baby, Camelot!!! Almost all off the classic dialogue rendered intact and delightfully brought to life (including a brilliantly dismembered Black Knight and vicious killer of a bunny rabbit)...Spamalot was way better than I though it would be. Thoroughly enjoyable!!!
