Monty Python's Spamalot recently celebrated its first anniversary on Broadway. The new musical, "lovingly ripped off" from the film, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," opened on March 17, 2005. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Spamalot's national tour just sold-out its opening engagement at Boston's Colonial Theatre, launching a multi-year journey across the country. This October, Spamalot will open at the Palace Theatre in London's West End, and next March, a further production will open at Wynn Las Vegas. Directed by Mike Nichols, who won his eighth Tony for directing Spamalot, the hit musical features a book and lyrics by Eric Idle, music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, based on the screenplay of Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Monty Python creators Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. Spamalot is choreographed by Casey Nicholaw.Videos
