A pleasant enough experience - pretty polished for being thrown together for a one-time-only presentation. Mr. Irons was pretty well-suited for Arthur, and obviously got very motivated for a couple of the more politically tinged monologues (even garnering applause during a couple of them.) Mr. Barbour was efficient, with his C'est Mois pretty much being the presentational highlight of the evening. Ms. Errico has a lovely voice, but never seemed to fully engage in the proceedings - only really coming to life during her rather subliminally slutty Lusty Month of May. I can't say I'm overly objective when it comes to her, though, as Ms. Andrews is absolutely iconic in the role for me. The nice surprise was Mr. Bean as Merlin - really pulled his small moments off with aplomb. And Paxton Whitehead was pretty much perfection - as you would expect from his years of experience.
As I said, overall pleasant enough - greatly aided by the beautiful night and the sheer pleasure of sharing in a true LA tradition. Although, I must say the sound there is awful. The orchestra never sounded anything but thin and tinny, which is a shame. As Steven said on another thread, it seems rather pointless to pay to hear bad sound while watching a performance on big-screens. However, the venue and the sense of occasion kind of make up for that with me.
I still wish I could have seen "Follow this you bitches" in lights over the shell
