REVIEW: THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY RADIO SHOW LIVE! : WOKING
So I went last night (26.06.2012) to see The Hitchhiker's Guide Live Radio Show at the Woking Victoria and the question is, did I enjoy it?
The answer is that I did, the cast had fun, the drummer of the band was having fun and the audience also appeared to have fun. I think I have read somewhere that Dirk Maggs was asked what his plan was for the show and what did he want the audience to come away with, well if it was some 2 hours of entertainment with some great verbal and also visual comedy, then I have to say that he did it, and did it well.
Most of the audience got most if not all the jokes and everyone like what they saw and heard.
The great thing about a live show is that you can never know how that nights performance is going to go, and so it was with last nights, some of the mistakes were very funny and had not only other cast members and director laughing but the audiance as well, I think its great also that everyone was relaxed about any errors, if you could call bring the house down in fits of laughter an error, me I don't think so I think the errors were great.
Was it worth the money?
Yes
Would I go again?
No, Once seen why dilute something that is already great and never to be repeated exactly the same.
It makes me wonder just how good a live radio show of say comic book hero's would be?
part from the sad fact that getting permission would never happen or the costs would be so high so as to make it not worth doing I think that Dirk could do such a project, perhaps one day...
I am looking forward to being able to purchase a copy of last nights performance so that I can hear it again in the car and enjoy it all over again but in its original format.
If you can catch the tour before it ends please do so, its a treat for your ears.
I will when I get chance add some more stuff on the live tour to the Dirk Maggs website when I have the stuff I want to put on it.

Mid Summer
so from now on we are on our way again towards winter. I must say I don't think we left it going by the weather we have had over this last 8 weeks.

Website
So I have done some work on the Dirk Maggs website yet again, mainly editing.
I am thinking if I should do a cast list for hitchers live, I have yet to make my mind up on it.

Dirk Maggs Website
I have done a small update to the Dirk Maggs Productions website, mainly about the Hitchhikers Radio show Live! tour. as its a work by Dir but not a radio show it has been put in the other audio works for 2012.
as a side note to the above I shall be going to the Woking show, and I am looking forward to it.

HHGTG live show Woking
So the good news is that I am going to see the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy live in Woking next week on the Tuesday show.
It should be a great show and lots of fun as I can not see how Dirk Maggs could organise a live radio show any other way.
I shall report back on this event. It will be the first Dirk Maggs production I have seen or heard this year...

June
So here in the UK summer appears to have got stuck somewhere between March and April, I can not remember the weather being so bad at this time of year. Its cold dark and wet, in fact its more like November than June at least to me it is.
may be it will get better, as a Brit I am going to hope so.

Events from the past
You may remember from last year that I spoke about L on my blog and the things that she was up to.
Well I have just found out what has happened to her or at least someone is saying this is what happened, I don't know if it true or not that is for someone else to work out not me.
I am told that she has lost her job and that she is still out of work. That she now lives on her own in a caravan as she admitted that she was cheating on her husband. I don't know if this is true or not.
So if it's true then you really don't know just how good things are and the choices you make can have large changes to your life.
I can not check if what has happened to L is true as I have no way to contact her.
If true its sad that she has ruined her life for a bit of sex on the side.
Perhaps one day I will find out what happend.
