SPAMALOT, MONTY PYTHON'S

A New Musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture MONTY PYTHON and the HOLY GRAIL. Features the song "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life". SPAMALOT tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table and featuring a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.

Monty Python’s SPAMALOT “raises silliness to an art from” (The Sunday Times) and has been hailed a “a no-holds-barred smash hit”. (The New Yorker).

Ideal for Anglophiles, Grailophiles, Plagueophiles
