At the close of the show, a sign appears from God. It is a series of characters--perhaps letters or numbers or both.

Arthur and his knights are trying to interpret. Is it "DIOI" ("die oy")? Whatever would that mean?

Then it dawns on them! It is a seat number: D 101. The Holy Grail is under seat number D101! Patsy heads offstage towards the audience.

It dawns on me that my wife and I are sitting in seats D 101 and D 102 --great seats just four rows from the stage. I wondered how my wife--seated in D 101--would hold up to whatever they had in store for her (she's just as shy as I am).

But the idiot grabbed the girl out of the first row--in A 101, brought her up to the stage, gave her the Holy Grail and the Arthur Award, and the whole cast sang a song in her honor, the brazen, usurping wench!

I have not laughed so hard and long as I did at this show. And seeing it in the Colonial Theater at their final Boston show made it that much better.

Jeeves to the Rescue

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? Ha! I love it!

During Korean war I spent much time in Boston on week-ends. Some in Sculley Square at the old Burlesque, some in the Common, and a lot at the baseball games watching Williams, Musial, etc. Boston does have bars....

We were given tickets to such by USO, free.

I don't think that you just happened to have tickets to Spamalot!
