Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention coconuts, killer rabbits, and Frenchmen.
Many of the original characters from the movie are faithfully recreated such as the Knights who say Ni, while new characters and other Python moments have been added to hilarious effect, including the classic “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”.
Aside from Monty Python, Spamalot is a great musical in its own right. With big Broadway numbers, Vegas glitz and spectacular dance sequences, this musical promises to leave you with a smile on your face.
Winner of Three Tony awards including Best Musical and winner of a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album this is not a show to be missed.
Book and Lyrics by Eric Idle.
Music by John Du Prez & Eric Idle.
From the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin
