Monty Python's Spamalot, a new fully-staged musical officially ripped-off from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, makes its world premiere at Chicago's Shubert Theatre.

Directed by Mike Nichols, the show features a book by Eric Idle, based on the screenplay 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.

Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail, in song, Spamalot features a chorus line of legless knights, men in tights (with legs), killer rabbits and dancing divas who create unforgettable musical production numbers.
