Richard Chamberlain In Person!!


On February 25th I was able to go see the touring company for Monty Python's Spamalot. They were performing the play about 40 miles from my home. I was so excited because starring as King Arthur was none other than Richard Chamberlain! Be still my heart!We sat in the 5th row left side right by the door. It was great and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Richard Chamberlain in person. Then the next day my sister and daughter were able to secure two seats again for me to see the play. Actually, it wasn't to see the play, but to be in the theatre with Richard Chamberlain again. Well, the seats were phenominal! They were front row, center. Let me tell you, they were the best in the house as far as I was concerned. They were right behind the conductors spot.Anyhow, to make a long story short, at the end of the play after the finale, the cast sang another song, "Always look on the bright side of life." I saw person far off to my right take a flash picture so I took out my camera (not supposed to have any) and began taking some shots of Richard Chamberlain. He saw me taking the photos. He opened his eyes wide, pointed his finger at me, smiled and mouthed to me "You're bad" and continued singing with the cast. I just smiled, shrugged and watched him finish the song. It was fabulous because now I know he difinitely saw me and knows I exist. Fabulous time!
