 Outstanding Cast !! We picked up nice seats 9th row from the stage, I took my wife and 3 daughters, We've been to a few shows & I always watch the girls to see if they are engaged, They were glued to the performance the entire time.

Monty Python’s Spamalot is a highly-acclaimed musical comedy that was inspired by the highly successful and popular 1975 film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Similar to the film, Monty Python’s Spamalot is an irrelevant and funny parody of the Legend of King Arthur and his quest to seek the Holy Grail. It also has several parodies of Broadway theater.
Monty Python’s Spamalot was written by Eric Idle, an acclaimed member of the Monty Python team. Idle wrote the book and the lyrics of the musical comedy while John Du Prez wrote the music. The original Broadway production in 2005 was directed by Mike Nichols and went on to win three Tony Awards including the highly coveted Tony Award for Best Musical for the 2004-2005 season. Monty Python’s Spamalot also received 14 Tony Award nominations. The original production was also a huge financial success with a reported ticket sales of up to $18 million with tickets pricing from $36 to $179.
