Content warning: Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy immersive theater show
Went out and saw the Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy immersive theater show at the Riverside in Hammersmith.
It was good fun. Our pub visit and Arthur Dent's surprise leaving party that Ford threw was interrupted by the Vogons coming to destroy the planet.
Luckily, Ford got the entire pub into the Heart Of Gold and hence to the cargo hold of the Vogon ship.
Songs and dance, audience participation, beautiful costumes and familiar characters. All good fun.
Trouble with a comedy based on a forty year old show though is that the jokes are all entirely predictable and obvious. Which makes it a comedy show without much actual laughs.
And while the Fenchurch in the show was an entirely lovely actress, I always found the character in the books/radio-shows quite annoying and she was too prominent in a 90 minute show.
Good fun, but don't expect to be rolling in the aisles.
