Monty Python’s Spamalot at The Palace Theatre in London's West End
London, United Kingdom, October 29, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Monty Python’s Spamalot is the new musical lovingly ripped off from the film Monty Python and The Holy Grail (released in 1975). Winner of the Best Musical Tony Award 2005, Spamalot opened in London Theatre on 2nd October, 2006 at The Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue London, W1V 8AY, following a successful run on Broadway. Spamalot is directed by Mike Nichols, with a book by Eric Idle, and a new score by Eric Idle and John du Prez. Currently booking to May 2007, Spamalot is surely one very good reason to visit London theatre, in the West End.
Earlier this year on March 22nd, Spamalot celebrated the show’s first anniversary on Broadway in typical Python fashion, by setting the Guinness World Record for assembling the "World's Largest Coconut Orchestra". Nearly twelve hundred fans assembled with their complimentary coconut halves and played a raucous rendition of the Monty Python tune "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." Happy days indeed!
Will London ever be the same now that Spamalot has arrived?
Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of The Round Table, and features a number of scantily clad showgirls, not to mention the cows, killer rabbits and French people. The musical has numerous typical Python moments including numerous catchy tunes including The “Monks Chant”, “The Song That Goes Like This”, “Knights Of The Round Table”, “His Name is Lancelot”, “Always Look On The right Side Of Life” and many more!
Spamalot's plot follows King Arthur as he journeys to find the legendary Holy Grail. King Arthur, travelling with his servant Patsy, recruits several knights to accompany him on his quest, including Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot and Sir Galahad. Along the way, they meet the Lady of the Lake and a host of other rather odd characters, including Prince Herbert, The French Taunter, Tim the Enchanter, Not Dead Fred, and the Black Knight.
King Arthur is an important figure in the mythology of Great Britain, where he appears as the ideal of kingship both in war and peace. There is disagreement about whether Arthur, ever actually existed. In the earliest mentions and in Welsh texts, he is never given the title 'King'. An early text refers to him as a dux bellorum ('war leader'), and medieval Welsh texts often call him ameraudur (emporor).
Camelot is the castle usually associated with the legendary King Arthur. Later romance depicts it as the capital of Arthur's realm, from which he fought many of the battles that made up his life; however, it is absent from the early material, and its location, if it even existed, is unknown.
Whatever your beliefs of legends and heroes, Spamalot is an opportunity to experience a slightly different version of events. Visit London’s West End Palace Theatre and enjoy a real part of British culture. Buy your Spamalot ticket today from www.lastminutetheatretickets.com.
