Spamalot is a new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail, starring Broadway cast member Tim Curry (The Rocky Horror Picture Show)
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is the new musical directed by Oscar Winning Mike Nichols, with a book by the third tallest Python, Eric Idle, and an almost but not entirely new score by Eric Idle (no relation) and John du Prez.
Retelling the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and featuring a number of gratuitously scantily clad showgirls, not to mention the cows, killer rabbits and French people, Monty Python’s Spamalot has been hailed as genius!
