Spamalot!
This weekend, we took the whole family, teens included, to see Spamalot.
For those that haven’t heard of it, Spamalot is a Broadway adaptation of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It remixes many of the original sketches with cheesy original songs and hilarious visual effects.
A few of our cast members were not the headlined cast – some parts were played by understudies – but it was still seriously side-splitting. The actor playing Arthur was a veritable Tim Curry clone, and the other actors were made of awesome as well. The Lady of the Lake part was particularly hilarious – overblown singing and melodramatic stage presence.
If you want serious theatre, this is probably not your cup of tea. If, on the other hand, you’re in the mood for Camelot puns, fart jokes, oblivious characters and carnivorous rabbits, then find some tickets and enjoy the show!

Mike wants to go to that so bad! He loves Monty Python. I’m sure it would crack me up also

The guys are much bigger Python fans than me – they quote from it frequently – but I enjoyed it too!

Yeah, I’d LOVE to see that. I will probably have to watch the movie tonight because you made me think about it. My wife is going to be mad at you!

It’s one of those movies that most wives I know have never seen straight through – just two minute bits and bytes as their spouses are watching.
