Tony Award nominee Casey Nicholaw is the choreographer. 

Sold-out since it opened on March 17, 2005, Monty Python's SPAMALOT remains the hottest ticket on Broadway, continuing to break box office records at The Shubert Theatre.

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.

Productions of Monty Python's SPAMALOT have been announced for The Palace Theatre in London's West End and at the Wynn Las Vegas. The National Touring company of Monty Python's SPAMALOT will be lead by Bradley Dean, Tom Deckman, Jeff Dumas, Pia Glenn, Christopher Gurr, Richard Holmes, Michael Siberry and David Turner.

Monty Python's SPAMALOT is produced by Boyett Ostar Productions.  

The original cast recording of Monty Python's SPAMALOT is available on Decca Broadway.
