Monty Python's SPAMALOT

Based on the classic comedy film, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” Monty Python’s SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur, his trusty servant Patsy, and the Knights of the Round Table. In this hysterical musical, our heroes face flying cows, killer rabbits, and a 50% chance of pestilence and famine. Along the way, they meet many fan-favorite characters from the movie, including the Black Knight, Tim the Enchanter, Not Dead Fred, and the Knights who say Ni. Winner of three Tony® Awards in 2005, including Best Musical, this outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining show will delight audiences as King Arthur and company search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”
