WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Tony Award-winning musical Monty Python's Spamalot is directed by Mike Nichols, the winner of the 2005 Tony for Best Direction of a Musical. The show features a book by Eric Idle, winner of the 2005 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Lyrics, based on the screenplay of Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Monty Python creators Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, with an entirely new score featuring music and lyrics by Eric Idle and John Du Prez, along with three songs from the 1975 film. Spamalot is produced by Ostar Boyett Productions.
