Spamalot, Fox Theatre - There is something to be said for musicals that stand the test of time and keep returning in new productions, still sounding looking and sounding fresh. 'Spamalot' is a good example. The script for the Arthurian spoof lets its actors improvise some of the dialogue, reflecting current events to which the audience can relate. The source material (the 1975 movie 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail') was great to begin with and Eric Idle's 2005 stage version, written with John Du Prez, adds songs, dance, and numerous silly effects. Idle told the 'Los Angeles Times' in March that the idea was to create a show that would appeal to those who weren't necessarily Python fans, adding, "People really love this show because it makes you happy, and these are the times when we need it really badly, because somehow, we're being oppressed all the time." - Kevin C.

From the venue:
THE SHOW THAT SET BROADWAY BACK 1,000 YEARS...RETURNS! TOURING ACROSS AMERICA THE TONY AWARD-WINNING BEST MUSICAL COMEDY SPAMALOT, which first galloped onto Broadway in 2005, features a book & lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle. The original Broadway production was nominated for fourteen Tony Awards and won three, including Best Musical. The musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the film classic, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, has everything that makes a great knight at the theatre, from flying cows to killer rabbits, British royalty to French taunters, dancing girls, rubbery shrubbery, and of course, the Lady of the Lake. SPAMALOT features well-known song titles such as “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” “The Song That Goes Like This,” “Find Your Grail” and more that have become beloved classics in the musical theatre canon.Monty Python's Spamalot by Broadway in Atlant... | 07/25/2026 2:00 PM
