Spamalot
Recently Updated
Spamalot is a musical comedy based on the 1975 cult film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The show follows the same basic plot as the movie, with King Arthur and his knights embarking on a quest to find the Holy Grail. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles and challenges, including killer rabbits, the Knights Who Say "Ni," and the French Taunting.
The show is filled with humor, absurdity, and irreverence, with nods to the original film as well as other Monty Python sketches and movies. The score includes original songs like "The Song That Goes Like This" and "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," as well as reworked versions of classic Monty Python tunes like "Knights of the Round Table" and "I Am Not Dead Yet."
Spamalot was created by Eric Idle, one of the original members of Monty Python, with music by John Du Prez. The show premiered on Broadway in 2005 and went on to win three Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It has since enjoyed successful runs in the West End, on tour, and in regional theaters around the world.
