Monty Python's Spamalot

Monty Python's Spamalot at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium

Why see Monty Python's Spamalot?

An irreverently funny stage adaptation of the Python movie

Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail in song, Monty Python's Spamalot features "a chorus line of legless knights, men in tights (with legs), killer rabbits and sexy dancing divas." The production also promises "some of the most unforgettable musical numbers you will ever see in the theater on this evening!" Duke Energy Center plays host to this screamingly funny musical parody, which has won three Tony Awards including one for Best Musical, for five days only this November. A must-see for Pythonites.

A stage adaptation of the 1975 film that is the best loved and most successful of the Monty Python screen ventures, this outrageous musical has attracted some of stage and screen's biggest stars during its 2006-09 Broadway run, including luminaries such as Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce and Hank Azaria.

Show girls, cows, giant killer rabbits, fish-slapping Finnish people, effeminate knights, a Cher-esque diva, modern newscasters, political activists, a familiar-looking Las Vegas-style castle, and even a Broadway musical to plan. A chaotic, fun and irreverant riot, with more than just a dash of the dark humor we've come to expect from the Python gang.

Hilarious Fun - Loved it!

Had a magical evening watching Spamalot! Cast was fantastic, the show quick paced and witty, with every number leaving you giggling and laughing. Managed to capture the essence of the movie, but weaved in new material to keep things fresh. Got to watch it with 3 generations of family, all loved it, and honestly one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in a long time - Highly Recommend!!!!! Thank you Spamalot team and the Tobin center for a wonderful night!! ... Read more

Absolutely joyful!

I saw the original Broadway production, with all of the original cast members, and I can say with out a doubt in my mind that this cast out shines the original BY FAR! Why? Joy. You can see the joy of the experience in the eyes of everyone on stage. They genuinely want to share this experience. They make you laugh, because they truly love being up there - something that is missing from many vetted actors on Broadway. Arthur and his four knights are especially funny! It's amazing how truthful they can make the absurd! Special commendation has to go to Adam Grabau (Lancelot), who is absolutely unrecognizable as each of his different characters - and gives one of the funniest performances I've ever seen in my life!!! Bravo!!! Thank you for such an amazing night!!! ... Read more
