A new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”

“Glorious, irresistible silliness”

Welcome to the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of The Round Table. Join their medieval jaunt in pursuit of the Holy Grail in a variety of ludicrously loopy settings, accompanied by a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.

Audiences all around the world have been roaring with laughter since Monty Python’s Spamalot won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2005. Featuring the hilarious songs He Is Not Dead Yet, Knights Of The Round Table, Find Your Grail and of course the all-favourite comedy song ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE, this deliriously silly show is a truly joyous spectacle and fantastic fun.

Spamalot is guaranteed to make you laughalot, so don’t miss your Knight out at the most infectiously funny musical of the millennium.

Monty Python’s SPAMALOT – book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Pres & Eric Idle

From the original scrrenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin.

By arrangement with Origin™ Theatrical on behalf of Theatrical Rights Worldwide, NY

MONTY PYTHON. Is he God or Godot, an agent of the devil or an agent of the William Morris Agency, or is he, as some have argued, a fictitious character invented in 1969 by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin in a desperate attempt to find a title for their rather silly show? Whatever the truth, he is the eponymous impresario who fronts The Flying Circus, the Holy Grail, The Life of Brian, The Meaning of Life, And Now For Something Completely Different and who appeared Live at Drury Lane, City Center and the Hollywood Bowl. He has fronted numerous books including The Big Red Book and the Papperbok, as well as many CDs, DVDs and matching ties and handkerchiefs. He is currently in retirement in an old jokes home near Dover, anxiously awaiting Nighthood and a Knightnurse. This is his first Broadway show.
