Yes! We've travelled thousands of miles across the globe and we've just watched the theatre production of 'Allo 'Allo, the most English, playing French, speaking English of sitcoms there ever was.
Right about now the theme music should be popping into your head. That should stay with you for a while and drive you nuts.
We gained the $55 tickets for free in a way that's still too traumatic for me to talk about. Let's just say I had to hide behind Clare as we walked in the door so the strangest ticket seller in the world........EVER, didn't see me.
Anyway, back to the show. If you like your late eighties comedies (and lets face it, who doesn't!) you'd love this. Loads of 'You stuuupiiiid womaaaaan', 'Goodmoanings' and ' fallen Madonna's with the big boobies'. It was like travelling back in time.
Not just that, but Gordon Kaye, the original Rene, was starring, as well as the original Leftennant Gruber and waitress Mimi (who's still as small, but three times as wide).
It was classic and like being back in 1985......which is exactly the same thing that could be said for the audience!
The mainly 'mature' audience had attracted some slightly alternative viewers. The very John Inman looking fella would be my case in point. Very slight, mid 60's, wearing a brown leather jacket that look exactly like Michael Jackson's in the Thriller video and to top it off, MC Hammer style trousers. I'm pretty sure there was never a time when all of that should have been worn together, but the pink champagne really topped the look off. Actually there was a lot of pink champagne being drunk, so much so, that Clare and I thought we'd got our dates mixed up and we're about to walk into the theatre production of 'Singing naked men' which apparently started the week after!
