“Lovingly ripped off” from the acclaimed 1975 film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the musical Spamalot will play at the Regent Centre in Christchurch from 8-11 June.
Following a successful West End debut in 2006 at the Palace Theatre, the award-winng show, with book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, now ventures to Christchurch’s Regent Centre for another cheeky romp through Camelot.
Brought to Christchurch by Bournemouth Musical Theatre Productions, King Arthur along with his squire, Patsy and a selection of knights go on an epic quest to find the Holy Grail. The quest leads the troupe to a French castle, into the dangerous clutches of the Black Knight and a loathsome bunny rabbit, to a rendezvous with the knights that say ‘Ni’, and into an intimate liaison with the Lady of the Lake.
Spamalot is jam-packed with silly songs to match the action. The opening number ‘Finland / Fisch Schlapping Dance’ was created especially for the show along with other original songs such as ‘I Am Not Dead Yet’ and ‘The Diva’s Lament (Whatever Happened to My Part.’ The show also includes the song originally made famous by Monty Python in The Life of Brian, ‘Always Look in the Bright Side of Life’.
