Lovingly
ripped off from the classic film comedy “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,”
Spamalot tells a fractured version of the tale of King Arthur and his
Knights of the Round Table. Their quest for the Grail takes them from medieval
England, through a dark and very expensive forest, all the way to a Las
Vegas-inspired Camelot. Traditional characters from the Arthurian legend are
here: the Lady of Lake (with the Laker Girls), Lancelot and Galahad (and his
mother, Mrs. Galahad), and the Black Knight. After two acts full of knightly
adventures, the Grail is found and true love triumphs, for an optimistic ending
that always looks on the bright side of life. |

mature ideas in Spamalot are played in a comedic style.
