About Spamalot
Winner of three Tony Awards including Best Musical, Spamalot is the hilarious tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, lovingly ripped off from the classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Get ready for killer rabbits, taunting Frenchmen, a line of beautiful showgirls, and of course… spam!
Told through a stunningly irreverent book and the wickedly funny lyrics of Eric Idle, with music by Idle and John Du Prez, Spamalot follows King Arthur as he journeys with the Lady of the Lake and his Knights of the Round Table to find the Holy Grail. Along the way, they encounter every manner of silly obstacle, including a French taunter, the Knights Who Say Ni, and the dreaded Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh.
With unforgettable songs including “The Song That Goes Like This,” “Find Your Grail,” and the iconic “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” this is musical comedy at its absolute finest.

On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
