Would you Show your Ticket on TV?

[gricerboy]

Ah, the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd - I have, no less, been invited to join our local AmDram group - the Shirehampton Operatic and Dramatic Society to play the lead in "When Did You Last See Your Trousers". I'm playing the part once popularised by the late, great Brian Rix.

However, as I was imagining myself treading the boards and PROJECTING my voice to the upper circle, I had a rather troubling thought. Should I be successful in my new vocation, a situation may occur in which I may be required to expose my unclothed form to the viewing public.

I expressed my concerns to our creative director, Greerson Garr, who informed me that, "yes of course, darling, if the part demands it. Showing one's ticket is grist to an actor's mill".

Now, I'm not entirely comfortable with this prospect so, as ever, I thought I would get the views of my dear friends at CUK and I have created a little poll in which I hope you will all partake

Need an 'already have, the crowd loved it' option.

Ha! Excellent play on words there, 'part' being the operative one!

I'm not an expert, but I don't think Brian Rix ever exposed his member on stage and, since you are playing one of his parts, nor should you be expected to.

The Great British Farces often involved the loss of trousers and other saucy indignities, but a goodly part of the humour was the unseen and the unsaid. Nudity around the naughty regions was usually considered 'over the top', particularly the display of the todger, and with it a good farce wouldn't work properly.

Hence the saying "Just the ticket", applied to something that is very agreeable. Wouldn't you agree?

And never mind Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, the Beatles song with the biggest innuendo was "Ticket To Ride".

So when someone says 'Just the ticket' to me he wants to see my pen1s?
