Spamalot - 2012 - West End History , Info & More

The Playhouse
Northumberland Avenue London

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is a kind-of new musical with a book by Eric Idle and an entirely new score for the new production, (well, almost) created by Eric Idle and John Du Prez. Following a staggering national romp, this new production will begin a petite West End season at the Harold Pinter Theatre from Tuesday 24 July.



Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy (or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, witch burnings (cancelled due to health and safety) not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people. The show features fantastic tunes more magical than a Camelot convention, including He Is Not Dead Yet, Knights of the Round Table, Find Your Grail and of course the Nation�s Favourite Comedy Song (Reader�s Digest Poll 2010 - before it went bust) Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.
