Monty Python’s Spamalot
A new musical lovingly ripped off from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
By Eric Idle and John Du Prez
Directed by Christopher Luscombe
UK and Ireland Production 2010 / 2011
· Monty Python’s Spamalot has so far been seen by more than 300,000 people in 47 weeks in 44 different venues across the UK and Ireland since the Production began in May 2010.
· The cast of 15 have so far “Looked on the Bright Side of Life” a staggering 765 times in more than 378 performances (and they still don’t know the words!).
· There have been 7 onstage moustache incidents, 1 suspected case of swine flu (French pigs!), 1 outbreak of nits and 36 pairs of coconuts used.
· To climax this leg of the show, the production returns (with the peasants begging for more!) to London’s New Wimbledon Theatre on June 1st, 2011 and The Mayflower, Southampton on June 6th, 2011, starring Phill Jupitus as Arthur, King of the Britons, Jodie Prenger as the Lady of the Lake and national treasure Todd Carty as Patsy.
· As an extra special (Christmas!) treat, Spamalot will then play a four week season at Theatre Royal Brighton beginning December 15th, 2011 with Marcus Brigstocke returning as Arthur, King of the Britons and Todd Carty on coconuts, as Patsy. The production will then canter out again on tour (oh yes we tour-a-lot!) to Liverpool, Oxford, Grimsby, Woking, Torquay, York, Stoke, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Richmond, Aylesbury and Sunderland.
“Catchier than the plague”
The Daily Grail
Audiences all around the world have been roaring with laughter since Monty Python’s Spamalot won the Tony Award for Best Musical. Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy (or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, witch burnings (cancelled - health and safety) not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people. The show features fantastic tunes more magical than a Camelot convention, including He Is Not Dead Yet, Knights of the Round Table, Find Your Grail and of course the Nation’s Favourite Comedy Song (Reader’s Digest Poll 2010) Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.
