By: BWW News Desk
The Holy Grail of Entertainment at The 5th Avenue Theatre: Monty Python's Spamalot. Featuring an all-star Seattle cast. Lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail, with Book and Lyrics by Eric Idle; Music by Eric Idle, John Du Prez, and Neil Innes. Directed by Josh Rhodes with choreography by Lee Wilkins, the show will run January 30-March 2, 2014.
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are storming The 5th Avenue Theatre in Monty Python's Spamalot, the perfect musical to fight the winter blues. Based on the blockbuster 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this hilarious musical comedy lays siege to Seattle featuring a stellar lineup of local talent including Joshua Carter, Allen Fitzpatrick, Rich Gray, Laura Griffith, Louis Hobson, Greg McCormick Allen, Matt Owen, and Dane Stokinger. Called "Fantastic! Gorgeously silly!" by The New York Post, Spamalot blends cerebral audacity with slapstick absurdity in this wacky version of King Arthur's mythical search for the Holy Grail. Bringing to the stage such classic Monty Python shticks as the Knights Who Say Ni, the killer rabbit, and "Always Look on the Bright Side of Your Life," Spamalot is plain side-splitting fun. Previews: January 30-February 5, 2014. Opening Night: Thursday, February 6, 2014 (press night). Closing Performance: Sunday, March 2, 2012. The show runs Tuesdays & Wednesdays - 7:30 PM; Thursdays & Fridays - 8:00 PM; Saturdays - 2:00 PM & 8:00 PM; and Sundays - 1:30 PM & 7:00 PM. Added performance on Thursday, February 20 at 1:30 PM.
