Action Pack: THE PRINCESS BRIDE Quote-Along
Tonight at the Ritz
Advance tickets available here

THE PRINCESS BRIDE was actually the very first Quote-Along we ever produced at the Alamo, long before we realized that it would become an incredibly fun series of shows or that anything called The Action Pack would ever exist.

In the early summer of 2007 we were preparing to close the Colorado Street location in anticipation of opening the Ritz when the Alamo's promotions director and I were cutting the trailer for what we thought was a regular screening of THE PRINCESS BRIDE and I typed in "A Quote-Along!" into the title cards on screen. I didn't initially know what a Quote-Along show would actually look and feel like, but I knew that it HAD to be a good time. But I had no idea how magical it would actually be...

When the whole crowd smacked their heads along with Vizzini every time he said, "Inconceivable!" and the sound of the smacking was followed by small cheers and laughs, the room felt like it was coated in the same kind of fairy tale happiness as the film. We've been doing Quote-Alongs for a while now, but it's been too long since we've done THE PRINCESS BRIDE, and the last time we subtitled it we had to rely on mere DVD quality. Now that there's a beautifully crisp blu-ray available, we figure it's high time to fix that.

Once again, we'll start with a "battle for the princess" where contestants from the crowd will come up on stage to sword fight like Inigo, rhyme like Fezzik, and engage their wits like Vizzini. Then we'll move on to the feature film, with subtitles for key lines, head smacking encouraged, huge inflatable swords to wave at each other every time we say, "You killed my father, prepare to die!" and soo much more.
