Find your Grail in Spamalot

Last night Charmaine and I saw Monty Python’s Spamalot at the Marcus Center for the Performing arts, and we recommend that you move this to the top of your list. It runs through Sunday, May 4th.



"Find Your Grail"
Whether you're a huge Monty Python fan or not, it won't matter, the story is a re-telling of the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest for the Holy Grail.
In this version of history, however, there are dancing knights (one has no legs) and maidens, killer rabbits, Laker Girls, flatulent Frenchmen, and instructions directly from God.



Monty Python fans will recognize just about every line and sketch, adding that much more fun to the experience. What stood out for us were the production numbers, each bigger than the one before, lovingly 'stealing' from other big Broadway hits. No wonder Spamalot won the Tony in 2005.




"Knights of the Roundtable"
And when is the last time you ended your theater experience with a group sing?



"Bright Side of Life"
