Back by popular demand, Monty Python’s SPAMALOT is the outrageous musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the film classic “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” With music and lyrics by the Grammy-Award winning team of Eric Idle and John Du Prez and book by Mr. Idle, SPAMALOT tells the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on their quest for the Holy Grail. Flying cows, killer rabbits, taunting Frenchmen and show-stopping musical numbers are just a few of the reasons audiences everywhere are eating up SPAMALOT.

BroadwayWorld.com “Fans of Monty Python's body of work will find themselves highly amused by the constant barrage of references to their more iconic characters and skits, while those unfamiliar with Monty Python will find themselves rolling in the aisles with laughter for entirely different reasons.” Houston Press “Even if you've never heard of Monty Python -- which seems inconceivable! -- Spamalot, the Tony Award-winning Best Musical of 2005, will thoroughly amuse. It beats you over the head with such sublime comedy, low and high, that you're left helpless, sore from laughing. This isn't three-card monte, it's the entire deck. Deal me in!” Buzz Bellmont – Chron.com “This extravagant show has ‘lovingly ripped off’ Monty Python’s 1975 classic film “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and the result resembles a grand and gargantuan vaudeville show consisting of hilarious skits and overblown production numbers that do more than catch our attention—they demand that we stay glued to the stage lest we miss another glorious opportunity to laugh big laughs and revel in the boundless silliness.”
