Sets musical theatre back a thousand years!
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, SPAMALOT is the new musical directed by Oscar Winning Mike Nichols, with a book by the third tallest Python, Eric Idle, and an almost but not entirely new score by Eric Idle (no relation) and John du Prez.
Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail in song, Monty Python's Spamalot features "a chorus line of legless knights, men in tights (with legs), killer rabbits and sexy dancing divas." The production also promises "some of the most unforgettable musical numbers you will ever see in the theater on this evening!"

Crazy, funny, brilliant!
Palace Theatre London on 19 Aug 08. Excellent show - but if balcony seats get in front row as view is limited and you are up near the roof. Acting, sets, lighting, timing, choreography etc superb - especially the ad-libs with the audience member and the supreme silliness. Those of a sensitive or politically correct nature and foreigners with no sense of humour should avoid this show. Recognise the old familiar characters excellently portrayed. Enjoy the audience singalong with the cast. Seat D1 in the stalls is the best in the house! ... Read more

Brilliant BUT....
Absolutely brilliant show - could not be faulted HOWEVER... be careful when booking seats at the Palace Theatre- £20 seats on the balcony have limited view AND you will be seated approx 100 feet up, strangely enough no-one will tell you this and it then costs an extra £15 per person to change seats, if they are available! I would recommend seeing the show - the cast are FAB - don't say Ni to Spamalot! ... Read more
