I love Spamalot but I was not that impressed with this production. I felt a little like I was watching a dress rehearsal, there were quite a few hiccups with props and sets and the sound. I enjoyed seeing some actors I normally wouldn't see in a musical on stage, but it felt a little under-rehearsed. Musicals at the Bowl in general are an enjoyable experience though, its more for the atmosphere than show quality.

by JeanneBear on 8/6/15Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodMy first time to Hollywood Bowl, and first time seeing Spamalot. Great venue, great sound, GREAT SHOW! Cast was outstanding, was not aware that Christian Slater was in it, what a surprise to see him! And of course Jesse Tyler Ferguson, he fits right in to this genre. I would see it again, and again, and again......

by Anonymous on 8/5/15Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodThere were a lot of references that would have been better explained so that it didn't feel quite so puerile.

by PointyStick on 8/5/15Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodI saw Spamalot several years ago, and have listened to the soundtrack. Sunday's performance was on a par with both. The singing and choreography were top flight, and the set worked very well. I particularly enjoyed the updated references, such as a drought tolerant shrubbery, and the Diva being replaced by Taylor Swift instead of Brittany Spears. Merle Dandridge has one of the finest voices around and it was a treat and an honor to hear her perform live. And although I know the story line, it was gratifying to hear the laughter of those who didn't know what was coming next, and were pleasantly surprised at the humor. Having Eric Idle perform, although only as the historian, was a bonus. I was also surprised at how many of the cast members I was familiar with from TV and movies. I think they also had a marvelous time doing Mont y Python antics. Who knew they could sing so well?

by FANOFBJ on 8/5/15Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodWhat an evening! So much energy, so much fun, such troupers! The weather even cooperated…Truly enjoyed every performer. My 18 year old son purchased the CD when we left and we were all singing, "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life!". Now that's how family memories are made! Don't forget to bring binoculars if you want the up close feel (even the jumbotron could not catch all the action). P.S. Ticketmaster I'm thinking you could come up with a better nickname for me…smirk

by SFNOLA on 8/5/15Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodWhat a wonderful and fantastic evening! Wonderful venue and performance was so enjoyable! A special treat to have all of the stars in the performance, especially Eric Idle! We were visiting from out of town - and if we had known, we would have packed a picnic dinner!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Monty Python's Spamalot
by blknoodle1 on 8/4/15Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodIt is such a funny play however our seats were in section M and that is just way too far away to get the real enjoyment of a play. I tried to get tickets on the first day but it seems near impossible to get good seats if you are just on the website. The only downside of this performance was the weak voice of the King Arthur.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great Production!
by Nettiha on 8/4/15Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodWe recently had the pleasure of seeing Spamalot at the Hollywood Bowl. It is my favorite Broadway show and I have seen it several times at other venues. I was amazed that they could put on such a terrific full production in front of 17,000 + people. The sets, lighting, and costumes were great. The entire cast was good, but Jessie Tyler Ferguson was the stand out star. It was only at the bowl for three days, but if you have a chance to see it ANYWHERE, I would highly recommend that you do!
