Monty Python’s SPAMALOT is a musical, actually no; it is an absolute hilarious musical. It is loosely based upon the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail and like the movie it is a spoof on the legend of King Arthur.

Unlike the movie however, is the excellent Broadway musical that SPAMALOT has become. Eric Idle a member of the Monty Python team wrote the musical’s book and lyrics. He has since collaborated with John Du Prez on the music. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Running since March 17^th 2005 SPAMALOT has won 3 Tony awards, including the Tony for best musical of 2004-2005.

On March 8^th of 2007 the musical moved to Las Vegas. Well actually the public could start seeing them on March 31^st but there were “private screenings” available in the beginning of March. The Wynn Las Vegas is home to this musical. The Broadway Theatre has been subsequently renamed The Grail Theatre.

I absolutely enjoyed this show. I do highly recommend it, even if you are not a Monty Python fan (really! What is wrong with you?). The show runs about 90 minutes and you can buy tickets here. If you are planning on going to the show pre-book as SPAMALOT sells out most nights.

Whether you are a Monty Python fan or just want to see a saucy and scintillating show, Monty Python's SPAMALOT is the perfect choice for a night on the Strip!
