For Simone’s birthday we went and saw The Producers, the new Mel Brooks writen comedy musical. Now as many of you (including Simone) are quite aware, musical theatre is not generally my first choice for a great night out, but I still enjoyed myself, and decided that the show was meritorious if only for the fantastic Swedish accent, the use of cardboard tanks in a broadway style dance number, and the final highlight of the zimmer frame wielding granny chorus line that appeared in another number. Well worth a looksie if you get the chance (it’s in Brisbane at the moment and coming to Sydney soon apparently).
