I've got the cold from heck. Blast my nose. (That's a wish, not an imprecation.) And I forgot to take my hay-fever pill this morning, so all the trees having sex are just making it even more of a snot-fest around here. Why could this not have waited till next week??? Next Friday I don't have to have my ears and brain in full working order to go to the Most Fun Theatrical Experience Of The Year (Apart From The Other Ones).
OK, mard over. No, wait, there's more. Why do people not deliver stuff quickly? I thought this DVD was bound to arrive on Monday. Still not here. Oooh. Stomp stomp stomp. Scumbags.
Went to the Producers musical last night. Reece Shearsmith was good as Leo- a better dancer than I'd expected, and nicely twitchy. I think he was losing his voice by the end of the night, though (fellow-feeling here!). I don't know whether it was a good or bad idea to keep the more New York specific jokes- it wasn't watered down for us, but then there were lines that were clearly meant to be laugh points, if you knew who the New York theatre critics were or whatever. A good evening out, anyway. Lots of energy. Having seen the film, I was interested to see that it was actually slightly shocking to see the Springtime For Hitler bits on stage, when it hadn't been when seen at home. I wondered what the German couple next to me were making of it, a bit (not enough to overcome yer classic British reserve and ask them or anything, of course.)
