Monty Python’s Runaway Broadway hit Spamalot

Who would have ever thought that the insane minds behind Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Life of Brian and Monty Python and The Holy Grail would graduate from being one of the biggest cult comedy favorites world wide to the Broadway stage? That’s exactly what happened with the Monty Python musical built for the stage – Spamalot.

The original comedy team that made up Monty Python consisted of John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. Their brand of comedy first debuted on the BBC in October of 1969 and they didn’t shy away from pushing every imaginable boundary. In fact, their sketches from all those years ago are still considered edgy even today – nearly 40 years later.

Billed on their promotional materials as a “musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the Motion Picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and written by Python alum Eric Idle, Spamalot is a welcome entry into the comedy musical realm – especially for fans of the particular brand of off color comedy that the boys from Python made famous. The original Broadway production, directed by Mike Nichols, was nominated for fourteen Tony Awards in 2005 and walked away with three of them including Best New Musical.

That original cast included such names as Tim Curry (perhaps best known as Frank in The Rocky Horror Picture Show), David Hyde Pierce (of Frasier fame) and the hilarious Hank Azaria who delighted the audience as the lovable maid in the film The Birdcage. American Idol runner up Clay Aiken replaced David Hyde Pierce in the role of Sir Robin and has quite possibly found his musical niche. Other well known names who have appeared on the stage in this production include former boy band member and Dancing with the Stars winner Drew Lachey who may have finally surpassed the popularity of and stepped out of the shadow of his brother, Nick.

As you can imagine with a pedigree like that, Spamalot tickets are not always easy to come by.
