STAGE TUBE: Watch Highlights from Manatee Players' SPAMALOT, Opening Tonight

The Manatee Players, Inc.'s production of Monty Python's SPAMALOT opens in Stone Hall at the Manatee Performing Arts Center tonight, April 30 and plays through Sunday May 17. Click below to watch highlights from the show!

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people. Did we mention the bevy of beautiful show girls?

The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including "Best Musical," and received 14 Tony Award nominations.

The musical features Michael Bajjaly as 'King Arthur', Mike Nolan as 'Patsy', William S. Masuck as 'Sir Lancelot', Dave Downer as 'Sir Robin', Tristan Martin as 'Sir Galahad', Brian Craft as 'the Historian', Jason Moore as 'Sir Bedevere' and Michelle Anaya as 'the Lady of the Lake'. Also in the ensemble are Jack Harkleroad, Chris Wolf, Craig Engle, Matt Mayo, Eliza Engle, Miranda Wolf, Zoe Zimmerman, Kristie Affolter, Sara Sutton and Hannah Morgan

The show is directed by Guest Director Kathy Pingel and choreographed by Vanessa Russo with Rick Bogner as musical director.
