Monty Python's Spamalot

The Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Theatre, London

The deranged Python musical, transferring from Broadway, promises to “set musical theatre back 1,000 years”. Billed as a “new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail”, the lavish production features old hand Tim Curry, back on the London stage after a 20-year hiatus.
