Program: Spamalot by Eric Idle / John Du Prez.
Monty Python's Spamalot is the Tony Award-winning musical comedy that lovingly rips off the classic 1975 film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Created by Monty Python's Eric Idle with music by Idle and John Du Prez, this irreverent stage adaptation transforms the beloved Python sketches into a full-blown Broadway spectacle. Winner of three Tony Awards including Best Musical in 2005, Spamalot has become a modern musical theater classic, celebrating absurdist British humor while affectionately spoofing Broadway conventions themselves.
Expect an evening of pure theatrical silliness featuring killer rabbits, the Knights of Ni, and Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail—complete with coconut-clacking horses and glamorous showgirls in the middle of medieval England. The show delivers Python's signature wit through catchy songs like "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" and "The Song That Goes Like This," a brilliant parody of saccharine musical theater ballads. Perfect for Python fans and musical theater lovers alike, though be prepared for some delightfully crude humor and cheerful blasphemy that made the original troupe famous.
