THEATRE + COMEDY

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, killer rabbits, one legless knight and a chorus line of dancing divas will fill The Grand’s stage in two encore presentations of the Tony Award-winning Best Musical – Monty Python's Spamalot on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 at 3:00pm and 8:00pm. Sponsored by Atlantis Plastics Company, Bettis, EIM Controls and Emerson Process Management, Spamalot “raises silliness to an art form” (The Sunday Times) and has been hailed as “a no-holds-barred smash hit,” according to The New Yorker Magazine.

Lovingly "ripped-off" from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Spamalot is the winner of three 2005 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director (Mike Nichols), as well as the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for Best Musical. The original cast recording of Monty Python’s Spamalot recently won the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.

Based on the Tony Award winning direction of Mike Nichols and the riotous choreography of Casey Nicholaw, Monty Python's Spamalot features a book by Eric Idle, based on the screenplay of Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Monty Python creators Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, with music and lyrics by the Grammy Award-winning team of Mr. Idle and John Du Prez.

Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and their quest for the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Spamalot is sure to have audiences hysterically laughing-out-loud!
