Oh Boy!

to quote Dr Sam Beckett

Oh Boy!

it was all nearly over!

Today I thought it was all over, went to lace up a projector and then there was a noise, not a click a the breaker went off, But a boom which made me leave the booth in supper fast time. What was the cause well the lamps rectifier had blow and took 40 mins to change with the much need help of Mr C himself but Im alive and still her!

long day

I did plan to watch Armrug (who’s myspcae you should check out) but after a long day at work and a total lack of food i decided to retire back to my pad and just enjoy the evening chilling (no homies just me)

The Producers

Saturday came around and so did my Valentine’s day present of going to the theater, and to see what you say! Well to see ‘The Producers’ now showing at the Palace Theater in Manchester.

Ok first let’s have a look at a short synopsis (if you didn’t already know)

Mel Brooks' hilarious new musical THE PRODUCERS comes to Manchester with Britain's funniest comedian PETER KAY as Roger DeBris. Joining Peter, directly from the West End production are CORY ENGLISH as Max Bialystock and JOHN GORDON SINCLAIR as Leo Bloom.

When down-on-his-luck theatrical producer Max Bialystock and his hapless accountant Leo Bloom hatch the ultimate theatrical scam - to raise more money than they need to produce a sure-fire Broadway disaster - who do they turn to? The world's worst director, of course; Roger DeBris. Their guaranteed-to-fail fiasco? Springtime for Hitler - the musical!

With direction and choreography by Susan Stroman, THE PRODUCERS is a guaranteed evening of "SHEER, UTTER, UNADULTERATED JOY!"

So the plan was to get something nice to eat, maybe have a few drinks and then get on to the theater, Now trying to get something to eat in the time scale we had in Manchester on a Saturday night isn’t as easy as one may think, everywhere and I mean everywhere was extremely busy so a nice meal turned in to subway, now I don’t mind a good subway but it would have been nice to move on from everyday food and got something a little nicer. Now drinks would have been on the cards if I still wasn’t carrying round the hangover from the drinking antics which had accrued the night before (good night none the less) so the thought have having another drink for at least the next few days made my hangover worse so no drinks.

Right the Theater, now I like my nice building and being in cinemas for many years I like old cinema buildings and this transfers well to theater building as all your missing is a cinema screen, I remember this old cinema in Rochdale with big wooden hand rails and red carpets and how grand it looked when my dad would take me there and another cinema I used to work at had the same feel which can lack In the modern day cinemas we see popping up everywhere, now the palace is a nice building but the outside doesn’t do it justice to what you see when you go in, sat there I took a few minutes out to have a look around and take in the surrounding and having some very good seats thanks to the beautifully stunning girl friend it gave me a wonderful view of everything and my god its nice and well worth a look.

So as for the play I had a good idea what it was all about but to be honest I hadn’t seen anything about this on the cinema or otherwise, Now it was good, no awesome would be the word. Cory English and John Gordon Sinclair were fantastic and I really mean they were outstanding and made the play what it was in my eyes. They had a few slips but it didn’t for one minute spoil anything and even made it slightly better, as many people may know Peter Kay is also in the production and he did do well but when up on stage with 2 people who shined he was I dare to say a little in the shadows and didn’t look as comfortable up there but saying that he still made the part his own and did well, maybe not as well is you would have expected. The songs were wonderful and so was the costumes, well everything about it was wonderful or though a little extra leg room would have been welcome but that’s what you get for being over 6 foot.
