See Alan Dale as King Arthur in Monty Python’s SPAMALOT. Lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail sets musical theatre back a thousand years!
From Jim Robinson in Neighbours to media mogul Bradford Meade in the smash hit Ugly Betty and from tycoon Caleb Nichol in cult series the O.C. to Vice President Jim Prescott in the award winning phenomenon 24, Alan Dale is without doubt one of the most familiar faces on TV today.
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, SPAMALOT is the new musical directed by Oscar Winning Mike Nichols, with a book by the third tallest Python, Eric Idle, and an almost but not entirely new score by Eric Idle (no relation) and John du Prez.
Retelling the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and featuring a number of gratuitously scantily clad showgirls, not to mention the cows, killer rabbits and French people, Monty Python’s SPAMALOT has been hailed as:
“A no-holds-barred smash”
The New Yorker
“Funnier than the Black Death”
Brother Maynard, Friars Weekly incorporating Nuns Illustrated
“Pies iesu domine donna eis requiem”
Thelonius Monk
