The National Tour of Monty Python's Spamalot begins performances tonight, Tuesday, February 19 in Jacksonville, FL at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts.

Featuring a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, a killer rabbit and one legless knight, Monty Python's Spamalot will next be seen in Ft. Meyers, FL beginning Tuesday, February 26.

Lovingly "ripped-off" from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Spamalot is the winner of three 2005 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director (Mike Nichols), as well as the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for Best Musical.

The original cast recording of Monty Python's Spamalot won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.

Monty Python's Spamalot features a book and lyrics by Eric Idle, music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, direction by Mike Nichols, choreography by Casey Nicholaw and is 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, with an entirely new score with two songs from the 1975 film and the Python classic "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" from 1979's The Life of Brian.
