The second great thing I got to do on Monday was see a preview performance of One Man, Two Guvnors. I haven't expressed this on my blog yet, but I love musicals! I hadn't heard a lot about this show before going to see it, and I didn't know much about the plot, but the one thing I did hear is that this show is hilarious, like laugh so hard you fall out of your chair funny.
I laughed so hard during this show, my stomach hurt by the time it was over. I don't want to give much away from the plot, because this is the first time it is being done in the US, but the story is about one young man who services two separate guvnors. He isn't very good at managing his two jobs, and gets into a lot of sticky situations because of his "confusion". At one part of the show this man is so hungry because he can't get a minute to eat while serving two people. He then asked the audience if anyone had anything like a sandwich they could give him. There is a lot of audience participation in the show, but this instance was not meant for it. A man in the audience proceeds to offer him a sandwich, which made the audience and the actors erupt in laugher. The actor played along with the man's sandwich offering making fun of him for bringing a sandwich to the theatre and so on. At this point I could not contain myself, and I am usually a very reserved person while watching a show. I thought that the whole performance was really great, especially if you want to have a good laugh at Brits being hilariously stupid.
