Spamalot Introduces New Online Game for Fans

The producers of Spamalot have introduced a new online game.

They "are happy to help relieve summer doldrums and office boredom with the only on line game where you squash knights and crush bunnies with a flying cow," state press notes. To play the game, Spamalot fans should visit this link.

"You are encouraged to start small. On Day One, scores of 300 and 400 are not uncommon. By Day Two, you should be racking up scores in the thousands. By Day Three, you should be meeting with human resources about a severance package."

The Tony and Grammy Award winning and world record holding Spamalot, a new musical "lovingly ripped off" from the film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, opened on March 17, 2005 to critical and popular acclaim, and soon became one of Broadway's toughest tickets.

Directed by Mike Nichols, the show features a book and lyrics by Eric Idle, music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, based on the screenplay of Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Monty Python creators Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin.

Spamalot won three 2005 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and Best Director for Mike Nichols, as well as a Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Album.

The national tour recently opened to sold out houses in Boston and Washington DC. Other cities on the tour include Chicago, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Houston, Kansas City, and Toronto, which opens in July. A London production opens in October 2006 and a Las Vegas production opens in 2007.
