Funnier than the black death!
​
Lovingly ripped off from the hugely successful 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is a riotous comedy full of misfit knights, killer rabbits, dancing nuns and ferocious Frenchmen. Join King Arthur as he travels with his hapless Knights of the Round Table on a divine mission to locate the illusive Holy Grail – with uproarious consequences.

Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best New Musical the hilarious Spamalot was written by Python legend Eric Idle, with a fantastic score co-written by John DuPrez including Always Bright Side of Life.

Amazing 1st night! Bravo to Nick, CFC & All the co. on a panoply of parody carried off with such customary panache! All those props & cossies, too ... wonderful! (IM, Abingdon)

What a showstopper! Awesome performance of Spamalot last night. Enjoyed every minute. Great acting, singing and choreography, amazing set and costumes with bucket loads of energy, topped with great musicianship. I caught one of the T’shirts Lesley threw into the audience at the end,.... so the ‘icing on the cake’ for me. Well done and Thank you AmEgos. The standing ovation at the end was well deserved  (RdW, Uffington)
