For the fans of the much loved "cult" movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", Monty Python’s Spamalot will be a truly joyful experience. The show has been delighting the punters on Broadway since it opened in March 2005. Based loosely on the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, the spoof musical parodies everything in sight in its quest to bring the audience to their knees in laughter. It has a go and laughs at the Arthurian legend and quaint old English mannerisms, and pokes fun at that great tradition that we love dearly: the Broadway musical!

There are lots of familiar references to Python offerings from the seventies that make it to the stage. You will hear famous songs such as ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" and "the Lumberjack Song" and familiar sketches such as "Ministry of Silly Walks" and the "Dead Parrot" sketch are given a nod. Python fans will love it and will relive some memories, and new audiences, unfamiliar with Monty Python, will gain a new appreciation of the peculiar British humour that is Monty Python.

More parodies in the show include a Lloyd Webber-esque power ballad "The Song Goes Like This" and a "Boy From Oz" style dance number "His Name is Lancelot".Yentl and The Producers get an honourable dig in the song "You Won’t Succeed on Broadway".

The show received 14 Tony Award nominations, more than any other show in the 2004–2005 season. It won three awards:
• Best Musical
• Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical (Sara Ramirez)
• Best Direction of a Musical (Mike Nichols)
