I just saw the campiest play

earcmacfithil and I saw Haddassah the musical. We saw it a few years ago and remembered one song so we had to go again. The song "Born to be a Eunuch". You have got to love a musical that has high school boys singing "Born to be a Eunuch" while doing a chorus line.

I haven't seen that movie but the costumes have to be more acurate than the sequins and gold lame. The acting in the play was OTT too but some of them had surprisingly good voices.

Hmm... One Night With The King wasn't *great,* but it wasn't that bad. Maybe my standards are too low, but I didn't find most of the acting too over-the-top. Not that I didn't think they could have done better by basing the movie directly on the book of Esther rather than the novelization "One Night with the King." The movie did introduce too many extraneous characters and an unecessary plot point or two, while missing the chance to make the climax banquet scene as emotionally impactful as it could...
Allright, come to think of it, the movie was only OK.
