What is the musical Spamalot about?

Question

I'm going to see it in August and I would like a general idea of the story.

Answer 1

Lovingly ripped off from Wikipedia...

Monty Python's Spamalot is a comedic musical "lovingly ripped off from" the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). Like the film, it is a highly irreverent parody of the Arthurian Legend, but it differs from the film in many ways, especially in its parodies of Broadway theatre. Eric Idle, a member of the Monty Python team, wrote the musical's book and lyrics, and collaborated with John Du Prez on the music. Running since March 17, 2005, it was directed by Mike Nichols and won three Tony Awards, including the Tony Award for Best Musical of the 2004–2005 season.

it's basically a spin-off of the Holy Grail but with some different scenes and jokes and what not.

Answer 2

Answer 4

If you are not a fan of British humor, you might want to think twice about this play. It is based the works of Monty Python. Check out these movies beforehand:

Monty Python's - The Holy Grail

"                        "- The Meaning of Life

"                        "  The Life of Brian
