I'm very excited. Patty called and we're going to see Camelot tomorrow night at the Fisher in Detroit. Michael York is King Arthur! Yes, THE Michael York. Now for those of you too young to really appreciate him, let me put it into context... Austin Powers movies apparently he played someone called Basil Exposition. (Having never been able to sit through more than about 2 minutes of an Austin Power movie I have to take Google's word for it.) To people my age, his 40 year list of credits go a tad beyond Austin Powers... sigh. Wow just looked up the original cast, waaaaay back in the early 60's, Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, Robert Goulet...!
It's like when I tell Michie and my favourite God-Daugher Alex that I saw Maggie Smith, up close and personal at Stratford, they say... "who?" Then I tell them she's Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter movies... ohhhhh! (I do sit through and enjoy Harry Potter movies!) Oh and she's in the Sister Act movies too. To people my age, I would reference The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
Anyway, I'm thrilled to be going and happy to have it to look forward too!
