Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table, and featuring a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people. Monty Python's SPAMALOT 'raises silliness to an art form' (The Sunday Times) and has been hailed as 'a no-holds-barred smash hit.' (The New Yorker)
