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.

    Spamalot is a great stage show which has been around for a long time. However, this performance at the Majestic in San Antonio was distorted by a sound tech who must have thought that louder is better. Much as the movie theaters do these days. Actors were often drowned out by the music and some of the singing was so distorted it was difficult to understand the words. What was understood was as funny as ever and kudos to the cast for a great effort.

  • Entire audience was laughing and singing along!!!

    excellent show, laughed out loud the whole time. my wife did not expect to like it as much as she did.

  • too loud

    by sa33number on 3/26/13Majestic Theatre San Antonio - San AntonioRating: 3 out of 5

    This is the fourth time I have seen the show (twice in NYC) and in this one the volume was too loud. Some friends left at intermission because of this. The loudness didn't help the clarity of the speakers. Hard to understand -so many jokes were lost. The "lady of the lake" was out of tune and just plain awful. She should be replaced. It's a good show- just not this production.

  • Spamalot

    My family and I loved Spamalot. We had such a good time. It was too loud though even up in the MZ. Would recommend to anyone who loves to laugh.

    Great show that entertained and always kept in touch with the audience. Color, music, wit and the folks on stage all seemed to be having a good ole time.

  • Spamalot makes you laughalot.

    by TexasRugger on 3/26/13Majestic Theatre San Antonio - San AntonioRating: 5 out of 5

    I missed Spamalot the first time they toured. I am so freakin' happy I was able to get to is this time around. If you are any kind of Monty Python fan, or if you just like irreverent humor, this show will make you laugh out loud. I had tears from laughing so hard. The show is amazing, the cast was great, and I recommend this to anyone who likes to laugh.

  • As good as Broadway

    by mpaul21 on 3/26/13Majestic Theatre San Antonio - San AntonioRating: 5 out of 5

    Enjoyed the show very much. Saw Spamalot a few years back in NY. Just as good a performance. Beautiful theater.

  • Monty Python at it's best

    by Anonymous on 3/26/13Majestic Theatre San Antonio - San AntonioRating: 5 out of 5

    My husband and I laughed the whole show through. I highly reccomend this to anyone that needs a good laugh. We are still singing the songs 2 days later. They added all sorts of updated jokes on celebrities and lines reflecting the local culture of our city. A fabulous show.

  • Spamalot was so very clever and Funny!!

    by ECguitar on 3/26/13Majestic Theatre San Antonio - San AntonioRating: 5 out of 5

    My wife and I really enjoyed Spamalot! From the music to the costumes and all the very funny lyrics from beginning to the end! I cannot think of one minute that I would have changed.

    I'm really not a Monty fan but I did enjoy the musical. It was fast-moving and entertaining.

  • Spamalot was terrible!

    by eminsa on 3/26/13Majestic Theatre San Antonio - San AntonioRating: 1 out of 5

    Synthesized orchestra, terrible Lady of the Lake (obnoxiously out of tune with no sense of comedic timing), and speakers up painfully loud = we left at intermission. Even with everything going through an audio mixer, the balances were still bad, with the fake orchestra overpowering the weak singers often. I wish they could have run the Lady through Auto-tune, but that wouldn't have helped the acting. At $70+ a seat, this production was shockingly cheap. I would say it was like watching community theater, but I don't want to insult community theater. What a rip off.

    Having seen this musical before I was excited to laugh and be entertained again. Unfortunately, this touring company phoned it in. Patsy seemed to be the only one enjoying himself. The "Diva" just didn't have the vocal range to carry the part. I noticed the audience was not laughing where they should have, but the jokes were falling flat. I felt badly for those who had not seen it before. Perhaps it was just a bad day for the cast.

  • Hilarious

    Hope it returns soon so I can take others to see it.
