Book & Lyrics by Eric Idle

Music by John Du Prez & Eric Idle

A new musical lovingly ripped off from the film “Monty Python and the Holy
Grail” From the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry
Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin



 



Produced by: Kathleen Breedveld



Directed by: John Maio



Vocal Direction: Evan Alparone



Choreography by: Todd Aragon and Morgan Breedveld



 



Rude Frenchmen, cancan dancers, the Lady of the
Lake and her Laker Girls, Killer rabbits, catapulting cows, and the somewhat
odd Knights who say "ni" are just part of the adventures and dangers
awaiting King Arthur and his knights of the very, very, very, round table in
their quest for the holy grail.



 



Lovingly ripped off from the motion
picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s Spamalot is
the fresh Broadway hit and irreverent parody of the Arthurian legend. It was
nominated for 14 Tony Awards, winning three, including Best New Musical for
2005. During its initial run, it was seen by more than two million people.





In addition to
its run on Broadway and UK's West End along with three North American
tours, Monty Python’s Spamalot has played to enthusiastic
audiences in Australia, Switzerland, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Germany,
Hungary, Sweden, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands,
Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Norway, and Poland.



 



Leading the
quest is King Arthur (Scott Phillips) with his trusty servant Patsy (David
Irving). Playing his gallant knights - and a broad assortment of other
characters - are Jeff Seaberg as Sir Lancelot, 
Alan Coyne as Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot, Paul
Plain as Sir Galahad, the Dashingly Handsome, Michael Markovich as Sir
Bedevere, the Strangely Flatulent, the melodic talents of Chris Olson as
Herbert and Alexis Rogers as The Lady of the Lake.



 



Rounding out the talented
cast are the Laker Girls, Morgan Breedveld, Michelle Freschi, Carmen Hanson,
Phoebe Leppla, Cara Pardo, Abby Peterson and the male ensemble, KJ Brown, Jason
Crispell, Max DeSantis, Brian Olkowski, Nick Sears and Bob Stratton.



In an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal John
Cleese (founding member of Monty Python) said, "I defy anyone to go and
not have a really fun evening. It’s the silliest thing I’ve ever seen."



 



This fresh
Broadway hit, lovingly ripped off from the classic comedy Monty Python and the
Holy Grail, retells the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table,
and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer
rabbits, and French people. This hysterical, irreverent parody of Arthurian
Legend will be special fun in the open air of a Solvang evening. Join the
quest… Grab your coconut shells, gallop out and find your grail.
