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.

Hank Azaria, currently starring in Monty Python's Spamalot, has been nominated for a 2005 Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance as Dr. Craig 'Huff' Huffstodt in the Showtime production Huff. The SAG Awards are selected by actors' peers; the ceremony airs on Saturday February 5 at 8 PM ET/PT, 7 PM Central, 6 PM MT.

SPAMALOT will begin previews at Broadway's Shubert Theatre (225 West 44th Street) beginning February 14 2005 and opens on March 17 2005.

Clearly, it is no small coincidence that King Arthur's birthday* and the first performance of the eagerly anticipated new musical MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT both take place on December 21.
