SPAMELOT is the Best Show Ever — Page 2

Finally, my first posting. Please be kind, but Monty Python (along with Mad Magazine) are crucial linchpins in the evolution of my sense of humor. While I can appreciate a big show, Holy Grail was a fantastic adolescent experience that I have been somewhat reluctant to revisit because of the possibility it will not live up to the memory. However, since my first NYC live show was Monty Python Live at City Center when I was in 8th grade and given the stellar pedigree of this show, I'm eagerly looking forward to Spamalot. My prediction last year that Boy from Oz would be a must-see came true so I'm hoping to strike gold again (although I never thought Mel Brooks would hit it big on Bway). When do tickets go on sale?

With aLl the latest Crooklyn crap...

LETS TALK ABOUT SPAM !

Anyone else excited that David Hyde Pierece is in it?

Then if you're "so sick" rockfenris2005 take your sorry @ss back to germany.


Actually, truth be told, I'd rather go everywhere. The musical universe is not JUST Broadway. As soon as people get their heads around that, the sooner musicals will be easier and accessible, and thus, allowed to flourish. With the critics in Broadway, those modern-day huns, it's not worth the pain and the misery of what that place is becoming. Everything everywhere else, including Germany, just seems to have a lot more open-stuff on offer, and the critics are kinder there too, and the audiences more tolerant. I know this is sounding racist toward your culture, but I have never believed in Broadway. I have always thought of theatre as 'theatre' - as taking place at anywhere, anytime, and succeeding on its own merits without a prestige. That's my principle argument and I want you to keep that in mind

actually, he's responding to Marquise...

rock, it's unfortunate that Broadway is considered what it is... i understand what you're saying, and there is alot of good stuff not on Broadway, here in NY... just look at what's happening with the Musical Theater Festival... Broadway is more business than art now, unfortunately... i'd much rather spend my $100 on shows like Symphonie Fantastique and Bat Boy than what is being shoved down our throats here...

I am looking for group sales tickets for Spamalot...any ideas?

Why was this thread moved to the bottom of the pile???

SPAMALOT ROCKS!!

What would be the perfect dish to make for a pre-SPAMALOT party?

Discuss!

Ok, I did a search on Spamalot and I cant find out what the show is about. All i know is that David Hyde Pierce is in it and it is a Monty Python movie. Those things alone are reasons enough to see the show, but I would like to know what it is about? Should I rent the movie to get an idea or is it completely changes around?

I wonder how The Producers would go over in Germany.

---

I thought Monty Python had a series of movies, I assumed Spamalot was one of them. Is it just a spin off of the Holy Grail? I'm confused..

---

Yes this is the stage version of The Holy Grail. Tim Curry is King Arthur, Hank Azarisa is Sir Lancelot, David Hyde Pierce is Sir Robin. Of course they each play many other roles as well. Eric Idle has done the adaptation and written new songs to go with the ones from the movie. And it's directed by Mike Nichols.

what is the plot for opposite sex?
