Monty Python's Spamalot on Tour

Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical and the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this adaptation of Monty Python's classic 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail returns with its gleefully absurdist spin on the legend of King Arthur. Featuring hilarious songs written by original Python member Eric Idle (along with music by composer John du Prez), Spamalot is a riotous display of medieval costumery, bumbling swordplay, silly dances, gloriously over-the-top sing-alongs and, of course, killer rabbits. A surefire, laugh-out-loud crowd-pleaser from start to finish, Spamalot is a reminder to — as its famous closing number goes — always look on the bright side of life.

Monty Python's Spamalot Background

Released just after their sketch show Monty Python's Flying Circus completed its legendary five-year run on the BBC, the 1975 film Monty Python and The Holy Grail proved the British comedy troupe could successfully adapt its wacky sensibility to feature-length narratives. Their ridiculous, proudly blasphemous retelling of King Arthur's quest for the titular religious touchstone became an instant cult classic and, 30 years after its release, provided the inspiration for Python's maiden voyage onto Broadway. Conceived by founding member Eric Idle, Spamalot adapted The Holy Grail into a musical featuring new songs and a few reworked tunes from the Python canon (including a revision of the Life of Brian classic, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"). Spamalot's original Broadway production was directed by veteran filmmaker Mike Nichols and starred Rocky Horror Picture Show alum Tim Curry in the lead role of King Arthur; it would go on to be nominated for a whopping 14 Tony Awards, winning three of them (including Best Musical and Best Direction of a Musical). A massive box office success that grossed over $175 million in its first run, Spamalot has effectively toured the world in perpetuity since its debut, spawning countless community-theater productions in the process.

    Alot of fun. Laugh out loud silliness! Left the theater feeling happy and humming.

  • Still funny after all these years...

    Spamalot sort of follows the movie and contains the iconic coconut-swallow and black night scenes. The singing is good but with the exception of the lady of the lake, not excellent. the lady of the lake is a great singer. If you like Monty Python you will like Spamalot.

    Very funny, especially for all of us old Monty Python fans.

  • Tis a silly play

    by TimTheEnchanter on 3/5/12Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 4 out of 5

    Spamalot had me laughing from beginning to end. Pretty much every song had a joke around it even when it was the love song. The only complaint I have is that a good majority of the jokes came from the movie. Of course this is to be expected but if you watch the movie recently before going to the play prepare to expect a lot of the jokes. Oh and also there was no witch scene.

  • All I expected and more!

    I was trying to figure out how they would pull off some of the strange and corny story lines of Monty Python. No worries just wonderful silliness and an excellent show. What a fun way to gap the generations for my granddaughters (16) and myself. Lots to Google about afterwards!

  • Spamalot very funny

    by Anitafans on 3/5/12Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

  • Soooo funny!!!

    by Breebreesmommy on 3/5/12Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    Very funny! My husband and I loved it! It brought elements of the movie and also included new events perfectly!

  • Spamalot not so much.

    by kassss on 3/5/12Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 2 out of 5

    Love Monty Python but I was bored by this show. All the best bits seemed rushed and the Lady of the Lake songs didn't add anything. Even though her voice was beautiful.

  • Spamalot was fun!

    by Pcobiwan on 3/5/12Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    We hadn't seen the musical before but are big Monty Python fans (have been for 30+ years). This musical delivered! Reading the Playbill we were curious about the songs - wondering how Monty Python could be brought to musical theater. We weren't disappointed! The characters were more than fun, the music very catchy, the humor very much what we love about Monty Python.

    This is my 5th time watching Spamalot and I can assure you that it is on my top 5 musicals of all time! This particular performance was as strong as the original cast on Broadway. Though not a fan of the original movie, this had a very engaging story with humor that is relevant in today's day and age. The performances were passionate and more importantly, the music is memorable! Would definitely watch this again and again and again.....

  • A not-to-be-missed production of Spamalot!!!

    by pundahl on 3/5/12Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    The production and talent was amazing-the funniest and most well done comedy/musical I've seen in years! Since "I'm not dead yet" let's see it again and again!

    I don't like operas or plays. Yet I've seen Spamalot twice and it is terrific.
