Monty Python’s Spamalot at Hollywood Pantages Theatre

Monty Python’s Spamalot is “a musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” This Hollywood-to-Broadway spectacle is based on the original screenplay by the cmoedy group: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. 

This hilarious musical is a must-see! Peter Marks of The Washington Post says it’s “gloriously hilarious! The jokes crackle, and the production numbers sparkle. SPAMALOT is funnier than ever.” Meanwhile, Charles Isherwood of The Wall Street Journal praises the show as “deliriously funny. SPAMALOT is blazing like a burst of summer sunshine as winter draws near, it’s pure glee.” And Jesse Green raves “it’s a blissful Broadway revival” and even awards it a coveted New York Times Critic’s Pick!

Synopsis

Monty Python’s Spamalot tells the legendary story of King Arthur’s mission to find the Holy Grail. Inspired by the classic comedy movie (Monty Python and the Holy Grail), this musical also has a fresh take on the traditional versions of the legend. Instead, the show features shenanigans including a line of beautiful dancing girls, flying cows, flatulent Frenchmen, and killer rabbits. Outside, there is plague with a fifty percent chance of epidemic disease and famine. Throughout the musical, Arthur travels with his servant Patsy, and recruits several knights to join the quest. The knights include Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad. As well as the killer rabbits and farting Frenchman, they also meet quirky characters like Lady of the Lake, Prince Herbert, Tim the Enchanter, Not Dead Fred, the Black Knight, as well as the Knights who say Ni.
