Desert Stages Theatre to Present MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT This January

Scottsdale's Desert Stages Theatre (DST) announces "Monty Python's Spamalot" will kick off January 12 at their new location at Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall.

After the Friday premiere, the musical will be performed each Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 2 p.m. The show will run through February 11.

Putting a musical spin on "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," "Spamalot" follows King Arthur as he travels around England recruiting his Knights of the Round Table. When he and his band of misfit knights finally gather in Camelot, they receive a charge from God to find the Holy Grail. The quest brings King Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table to strange places and into the company of ominous characters, challenging them to keep their heads on straight or die terribly weird deaths.

Directed by Dan Ashlock Jr., the DST show will utilize the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. The performances will also feature music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle.
