Howard Panter for The Ambassador Theatre Group and Bill Kenwright present Monty Python's Spamalot: A new musical lovingly ripped off from Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Eric Idle and John Du Prez on their UK Tour from May 29th 2010.

New England audiences were treated to the uncensored, uncut and as unpredictable as ever, comedian Billy Connolly in June 2007 at the American Repertory Theatre. Now he returns to Boston with his hilarious, oxygen-depriving new show BILLY CONNOLLY LIVE! for two performances only on May 6 & 7, 2010 (8pm) at the Citi Performing Arts Center Shubert Theatre, 265 Tremont Street in Boston's Theater District.

Eric Idle, author and producer of the hit Broadway musical SPAMALOT, said he would be up for adapting the show from the stage to the screen.

According to Empireonline.com, the next cinematic hit to receive Broadway musical treatment is A Fish Called Wanda. The musical book has been written by original screenwriter John Cleese and his daughter Camilla. Bill Bailey has been recruited to compose.

Monty Python's Spamalot, the musical pardody based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, is to begin its tour of the UK at New Wimbledon Theatre in southwets London. Performances are set to run from May 29th through June 5th. Additional tour dates and locations have yet to be released.
