Monty Python’s Spamalot at Winspear Opera House

Has the tale of King Arthur of Britain, Sir Galahad, the Dashingly Handsome, Not Dead Fred, the Lady of the Lake, and the Head Knight Who Says “Ni” reached your ears before? Our guess is that it might have.

It goes way back to 1975, when the ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ motion picture was released, and if it got to you the same way it did to countless fans around the globe, you’ve probably revisited and enjoyed it quite a few times after that too. So, have you seen it?

Yes? Then seeing the musical that “sets musical theatre back a thousand years” is something that you really, really need to add to your calendar. It’s the same ‘Spamalot’ you love and that tickles the ribs, only bigger, grander, and more extravagant. This version is like a sugar-high, making everybody buzz with pure enjoyment!

No? Then you should catch up really quickly, because you have been missing out on some superb giddiness! But fear not, because ‘Monty Python’s Spamalot’ is still very much alive and kicking, and you won’t even have to travel far this summer to see what it’s all about! Eric Idle and John Du Prez’ 2005 masterpiece has had new life blown into it, having critics and audiences in stitches, so you’ll be able to get in on the shenanigans pretty soon.

Doubts? Let the proof be in the proverbial pudding. ‘Monty Python’s Spamalot’’s award-shelf is groaning heavily under the load of three Tony Awards, three Drama Desk Awards, a Theatre World Award, and a Grammy Award. So it’s rather indisputable: everybody, and we mean everybody - from critics to fans to nope-nellys to theatre regulars to Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Show to laugh-lovers - gets on board the Lady of the Lake and Sir Galahad the Dashingly Handsome’s gondola from the get-go!

‘Monty Python’s Spamalot’ follows the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest for the Holy Grail, very much like the motion picture, but of course, delivered in person. Add in a chorus line of knights, musical shenanigans that brings the old Monty Python gems to life such as ‘Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life’, ‘Diva’s Lament’, and ‘Fisch Schlapping Song’, a cast that is all-out comedy, jokes and parodies that spare absolutely nobody - not Andrew Lloyd Webber, not ‘Dreamgirls’, not Céline Dion, not Judy Garland, not even the famous Elphaba battlecry from ‘Wicked’, splashy costumes, cleverly crafted humour, and basically every wild theatrical idea that could possibly be thought of, and You’re in for the biggest, most loving movie rip-off on the planet - one that will keep you cackling for days afterwards!
