Spamalot

The very funny musicalization of Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Eric Idle and directed by Mike Nichols. The show is short for a musical (just two hours, including intermission) but the laughs are nonstop.


Simon Russell Beale as King Arthur.


One of the highlights of the evening was when orginal Pythons Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam accepted an award from the Guinness Book of World Records for staging the largest cocoanut orchestra of over 5,000 people in Trufalger Square earlier that day, breaking the record previously held by the Broadway company of Spamalot. It was not mentioned who held the record before that.
