Monty Python's Spamalot

Monty Pythons Spamalot
Monty Python is an English comedy group which levitated to the media from The Monty Python's Flying Circus. This humorous television series brought the Pythons to the sight of comedy lovers. In 1974 the Pythons unleashed a film The Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was a mockery of the legendary King Arthur, his knights and their quest to find the Holy Grail.

The film was a success on its initial release and retains a large-scale cult following to this day.Monty Python Spamalot is a hilarious musical based on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Just like the motion picture, it is an impertinent derision of Arthurian Legends. It contrasts in several ways from the movie, especially its parodies of Broadway theatre.

Eric Idle, one of the Pythons, wrote the musical's book and the lyrics and collaborated with John Du Prez on the music.

Mike Nichols gave the directions. Their cohesive endeavors paid them with the Tony Award for the Best Musical in 2004-2005 season.

The show also features Christopher Sieber as Sir Galahad, Michael McGrath as King Arthur's sidekick Patsy, and Sara Ramirez as the Lady of the Lake , in a role significantly expanded for the show. John Cleese plays the voice of God in a recorded role; he's the only actor from the film to also appear in the production. Curry, Pierce, Azaria, Sieber, and McGrath also play various smaller roles, such as the Black Knight and the Knight of Ni.

The show will boast a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits and one legless knight. Creating an unforgettable musical production.
