The Telegraph
This loveable, laughable (but in a good way!) foray into musical theatre is the brain child of comedy legend Eric Idle and Mike Nichols. Taking a cheeky swipe at Idle's and the rest of the Pythons' 1975 comedy film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", the show has seen a succession of famous faces join the cast since opening in the West End in 2006, making for an ever-fresh repertoire of comedy!
As in "Holy Grail", this show tells the now-legendary tale of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table - but with considerable differences from the film.
Whilst on his travels with his long-suffering squire Patsy, Arthur meets a motley band of characters to join his Round Table, beats an invasion by the French and ends up on a quest to find the mythical Holy Grail.
But being a Python musical, it's never going to be that simple. Here, there be show girls, cows, giant killer rabbits, fish-slapping Finnish people, effeminate knights, a Cher-esque diva, modern newscasters, political activists, a suspicious-looking Las Vegas-style castle, and even a West End musical to plan. It's chaotic, fun and irreverant - with more than just a dash of the dark humour we've come to expect.
The name Spamalot is a reference to a line in the original film, as explained by writer Eric Idle, "We eat ham, and jam and Spam a lot." The original Broadway version where it originated, won three Tony Awards in 2004/5, after receiving a record 14 nominations!
