Spamalot tells the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest for the Holy Grail. The show has more than a few lusty maidens, a gaggle of beautiful ladies in diaphanous gowns, a small army of dancing knights, and a killer rabbit. Read the complete synopsis. To learn a bit more, browse through the lyrics from the Broadway production. |

And now for something completely different…the six comedians who make up Monty Python are credited with a revolution in comedy, popularizing a brand of humour based on complete absurdity. The Search for the Holy Grail was a continuation of the work done on their TV show, and the first of many films. Read a bit more of my thoughts on the movie, or some more information on the development of the musical. |
 the only recording available so far is the original Broadway cast recording. Which is naturally a pretty good one, since the original cast for this show was pretty great.You can read my review of the CD, or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs. |
 When we saw the show in New York, we knew that tickets to this show were going to be pretty hard to come across, so we decided to not even try, and just get in line for standing room tickets instead. And it was worth the wait – we had a lot of fun. I’ve seen the tour once since too – read a bit more about my experiences. |
One of the main reasons I was so anxious to see this show was the fantastic cast. Read a bit more about some of my favourites. Once you’re done looking around here, check out some of the other Spamalot sites that are out there. |
