Mar. 19th, 2007 11:15 amDude, this was a totally busy weekend!
1) Pirates of Penzance: If you can afford or find a ticket for their remaining shows, SEE THIS OPERETTA. No, seriously. You will never see a better, funnier production. The comic timing is to die for. I don't remember Pirates ever being so hysterically funny. My face hurt from smiling and giggling all night long. Brilliance. Sheer brilliance.
I did a production of Pirates as my senior class play, and I was playing the whole thing along in my head, and most of it was there still, which was a surprise. I would happily see this production every year and never get tired of it. I dunno why, but Gilbert and Sullivan don't seem to be a big draw, and this might not come back, hence the excited pimpage. There's nothing specific I can say because I just end up flailing over how much I loved this production. If you can, see it!
2) The Queen: ( Also very good )
3) TMNT: ( That's the title, folks (no spoilers). )
And, finally, 4) 300: ( It's about time! (no spoilers!) )
Shorter TV: Pirates is made of win, SEE IT. The Queen is made of frowning and groaning in the good way. TMNT is fifty-fifty shlock and nostalgia. 300: less awful than advertised and terribly pretty.
And now, I actually do some work!
