Boston – Thursday, November 20

Sometimes, the truth really stinks

Yesterday, I went to wash my hands at the local coffeehouse. Since there was only one bathroom, I hopped from foot to foot until the door finally swung open and the previous user exited. In retrospect, I probably should have taken the fact that the guy, Rusty, left the bathroom noshing on a hot dog as a bad omen. Instead, ever the prisoner of hope, I entered anyway and was sucker punched by the most ungodly of smells.

‘Spamalot’ of laughing here

There’s nothing like a night with the Knights who say “Ni” to make you forget what’s going on in the real world. “Spamalot,” the Tony-award winning “musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail” is back in Boston for an all-too-short run at the Colonial Theatre. And it’s as fresh and funny as it was on its first visit nearly three years ago.
