I just got back from the Spamalot tour in Boston. I had seat A27 in the balcony, and those seats were not bad at all...you are actually close to the stage, just a bit high up. Anyways, I saw a seat in the front row center, so I moved there during intermission.
Overall: great, flashy fun. I'm not good at giving character descriptions, so I'll just say this. The whole cast was great for the roles they were given. My favorite scene was David Turner's (Robin) "You Won't Succeed on Broadway." I loved the little dance break a la Fiddler on the Roof. Another number that stood out was "Knights of the Round Table."
I was curious to see Pia Glenn's take on the role as the Lady of the Lake. She sings very well! She's no Sara, but she definitely pulled off the role and its "diva-esque" attitude.
Another funny scene was the French taunting scene...David Turner was hilarious. I know this has been mentioned before, but during the chasing in this scene, "Eponine" is on the back of one of the characters.
The grail is in seat A101...the Colonial is arranged AAA, AA, then A, B, and so on. So if you are in the third row, seat 101, you will be brought on stage and given a little foot trophy and a Poloroid of you with the cast. In addition, they sing a personalized song to you using your first and middle name.
If you don't get that opportunity, then try to catch the Lady of the Lake's bouquet of flowers at the end.
And if you don't get that, you will at least be showered with confetti in the end.
I'm going to see it again April 13th. Perhaps then I will post a better review.
