'Monty Python's Spamalot' Cast Recording on Decca Broadway this Spring
By: BWW News Desk
Decca Broadway will record Monty Python's Spamalot, the new musical lovingly ripped off from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, at Right Track Studios in New York City on February 7th, with a release date for the original cast recording in the Spring of 2005 to be announced.
Directed by Mike Nichols, Spamalot stars David Hyde Pierce, Tim Curry and Hank Azaria, with book by Eric Idle, and music and lyrics by John Du Prez and Eric Idle.
Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and their quest for the Holy Grail. Previews begin on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre (225 West 44th St.) February 14th, with the show opening on March 17th.
John Du Prez and Eric Idle collaborated on the music and lyrics for Spamalot. Aside from his work with Monty Python in films and on TV, Eric Idle has written a West End play, Pass the Butler; three novels, including The Road to Mars, The Rutles - A Mockumentary; and many songs too rude to mention. He has sung opera, acted in movies, appeared on television and recently crossed America performing comedy on The Greedy Bastard Tour. His diary of his 15,000 mile journey by bus will be published by Harper Collins in February 2005. His long awaited sequel Rutles2, "Can't Buy Me Lunch" will be released by Warner Video in March. There's no saying what he might do next... John Du Prez has composed over twenty feature film scores including A Fish Called Wanda, A Private Function, The Meaning of Life, Personal Services, UHF, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I, II & III and has worked with Eric Idle since 1978.
