thanks
is it good to be close to the stage and not off to the side as usual when seeing shows? Any advice to improve viewing? should I go dressed as a knight?
I just dressed as a slob (as usual) and was fine. I was well back and had no trouble hearing as everyone sings and speaks loudly. (Simon Russell Beale was Arhtur when I saw it, I don't know who is now.) I didn't have any trouble with sightlines either.
the stage show is dumbed down from the film. eg when the giant bunny is wheeled on, Arthur says 'WHAT the HELL is THAT???' In the film, you were left to say this for yourself without characters telling you what to think.
