The Hollywood Bowl production of Monty Python's Spamalot has finalized casting for its three performances, running from July 31-August 2.

Directed by B.T. McNicholl, the company now includes Tony nominee Kevin Chamberlin (The Addams Family) as Sir Bedevere, Tom Deckman (Spamalot) as Not Dead Fred, and Rick Holmes (The Visit) as Sir Lancelot.

They join the previously announced Christian Slater (Sir Galahad), Merle Dandridge (The Lady of the Lake), Warwick Davis (Patsy), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Sir Robin), original Python and the musical's creator Eric Idle (Historian), and Craig Robinson (King Arthur).

Featuring a book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by Idle and John Du Prez, Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest for the Holy Grail, complete with lusty maidens, dancing divas, a killer rabbit, and a legless knight. The show made its Broadway debut in 2005, earning three Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Spamalot will be conducted by Todd Ellison, with choreography adapted and restaged by Scott Taylor and Billy Sprague Jr., from the original by Casey Nicholaw.
