How could I forget to tell you about Monty Python’s SpamAlot? Three of my favorite actors are staging my favorite Monty Python movie in Chicago, and on Broadway beginning Valentine’s Day! Would I get to Chicago faster on an African or a European swallow?
Monty Python’s Spamalot
Theatre : The Shubert Theatre (Chicago, IL)
Dates : December 21, 2004 – January 23, 2005
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 creating some of the most unforgettable musical production numbers you will ever see in the theatre on this evening! Directed by Tony and Academy Award-winner Mike Nichols and starring David Hyde Pierce (“Fraiser”), Tim Curry (“Rocky Horror Picture Show”) and Hank Azaria (“The Simpsons”), this world premiere, pre-Broadway engagement features a book by “Python” Eric Idle, lovingly ripped off from the screenplay of the acclaimed “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” film with a new score featuring music and lyrics by Eric Idle and John Du Prez.
