Monty Python's Spamalot continues making history across the United States, as the National Tour begins performances tonight, Tuesday, March 11th in West Palm Beach, FL at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. Featuring a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, a killer rabbit and one legless knight, Spamalot will next be seen in Clearwater, FL beginning Tuesday, March 18th.
Lovingly "ripped-off" from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, 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.
The original cast recording of Spamalot won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.
Spamalot features a book and lyrics by Eric Idle, music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, direction by Mike Nichols, choreography by Casey Nicholaw and is 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, with an entirely new score with two songs from the 1975 film and the Python classic "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" from 1979's The Life of Brian.
In addition to the national touring production, Spamalot on Broadway continues to do record business, a London production opened last fall to rave reviews at London's Palace Theatre and a Las Vegas production opened at Wynn Las Vegas in the spring of 2007.
