Monty Python's Spamalot
Monty Python continues to tickle!
Why see Monty Python's Spamalot?
What is your name!?
It's the smash hit musical Spamalot, telling the tale of King Arthur's quest to find the holy grail, only a lot funnier and sillier than what they say in the history books.
Irreverent, surreal and ridiculous in only the way Monty Python can be, Arthur's adventure sees him recruiting a rag-tag bunch of Knights and taking on many challenges, including sating a murderous rabbit, pleasing mysterious knights pre-occupied with shrubberies, and battling an adversary more interested in winning than the location of his limbs, and much more! Add some hilarious songs to the mixture and you've got yourself a musical, because these knights of the round table will dance whenever they're able!
Your mother was a hamster...
Created by former Python member Eric Idle in 2005, Spamalot became a worldwide hit, winning 3 Tonys and far eclipsing the 1975 movie 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail' (which provided the basis) in terms of success! With classic features that evoke the pure genius of the legendary comedy troupe and new pieces written by Idle for a musical audience, Spamalot is pure alchemy.

Best Production of SPAMALOT I've ever seen!
I'm amazed by this production of Spamalot. I'm an avid theatre goer and after having watched the original Broadway cast, the Broadway Revival and a couple of regional theatres doing their renditions of Spamalot I can assure you that this National Tour is by far the BEST version you'll ever seen. The cast's energy is just contagious, the acting, the dialect, the costumes, scenery...ALL on point! Leslie Jackson is amazing as Lady of the Lake, with incredible vocal range, and solid acting chops. I also have to give props to all the Knights of the round table, they will make you laugh until your belly hurts. The choreography is also perfection, and it really adds to the humor of the show. Among very talented cast members the Featured Dancer Mateus Barbosa da Silva was definitely one of the highlights of the show. He wasn't just impeccable on his dancing but he also had perfect comedic timing (which I find it hard to see in dancers nowadays). If you have the opportunity go watch them before they finish the tour! ... Read more

Hilarious Fun - Loved it!
Had a magical evening watching Spamalot! Cast was fantastic, the show quick paced and witty, with every number leaving you giggling and laughing. Managed to capture the essence of the movie, but weaved in new material to keep things fresh. Got to watch it with 3 generations of family, all loved it, and honestly one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in a long time - Highly Recommend!!!!! Thank you Spamalot team and the Tobin center for a wonderful night!! ... Read more

Absolutely joyful!
I saw the original Broadway production, with all of the original
cast members, and I can say with out a doubt in my mind that
this cast out shines the original BY FAR! Why? Joy. You can see
the joy of the experience in the eyes of everyone on stage. They
genuinely want to share this experience. They make you laugh,
because they truly love being up there - something that is
missing from many vetted actors on Broadway. Arthur and his
four knights are especially funny! It's amazing how truthful they
can make the absurd! Special commendation has to go to Adam
Grabau (Lancelot), who is absolutely unrecognizable as each of
his different characters - and gives one of the funniest
performances I've ever seen in my life!!! Bravo!!! Thank you for
such an amazing night!!!
