The Tony Award-winning production of Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and their quest for the Holy Grail. The show features a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits, a flying cow, a flying enchanter, and a legless knight. Spamalot pokes fun at the conventions of musical theater and popular culture as it lovingly “rips off” the internationally famous comedy team’s movie production of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
