Photo Flash: Las Vegas SPAMALOT Opens March 31st

We're proud to bring you the first press photos of the Las Vegas production of Monty Python's Spamalot in Las Vegas which begins previews at the Wynn Las Vegas on March 8th and opens on March 31st starring John O'Hurley as King Arthur.

"With Spamalot, Eric Idle has created a deliriously funny live spectacle which tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and their quest for the Holy Grail.   The show features lusty maidens, dancing divas, a killer rabbit and the only legless knight appearing on the Las Vegas Strip," state press materials.

The musical is written by Eric Idle and is lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin.  Spamalot features lyrics and a Grammy Award-winning score by Eric Idle and long-time Python collaborator John Du Prez. The show is directed by Oscar and Tony Award-winning legend Mike Nichols. 

With choreography by Casey Nicholaw, Monty Python's Spamalot features sets and costumes by Tony Award-winner Tim Hatley, lighting design is by Hugh Vanstone and sound design is by ACME Sound Partners. Others on the creative and production teams include David Brian Brown (Hair & Wig Design), Gregory Meeh (Special Effects Design), Elaine McCarthy (Projection Design), Joseph A. Campayno (Make-Up Design), Larry Hochman (Orchestrations), Glen Kelly (Music Arrangements), Todd Ellison (Music Supervision and Vocal Arrangements), Peter Lawrence (Associate Director), Tara Rubin (Casting), and Gene O'Donovan (Production Manager).

Monty Python's Spamalot has been honored with dozens of awards, including the Grammy Award for Best Original Cast Recording and three Tony Awards, including Best Musical.  The original cast recording is available on Decca Broadway.
