Music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle
Lyrics & Book by Eric Idle
Based on the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail

MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT, lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people! Bursting with unforgettable songs, absurd humor, and zany characters, this musical is a rollicking celebration of all things Monty Python. SPAMALOT is a gloriously entertaining journey that will leave audiences in stitches from start to finish.
