The UK touring production of Monty Python’s Spamalot will transfer to the West End’s Playhouse Theatre beginning November 14. Christopher Luscombe directs the musical, which has been running at the West End’s Harold Pinter Theatre since July 25 and will close on September 9.
Monty Python’s Spamalot is “lovingly ripped off from Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” and features a book by Eric Idle and score by Idle and John Du Prez.
No casting has been announced for the transfer, though the production currently stars Marcus Brigstocke and Jon Culshaw (sharing the role of King Arthur), Todd Carty (Patsy), Bonnie Langford (Lady of the Lake), Kit Orton, Jon Robyns, Robin Armstrong, Rob Delaney, Adam Ellis, Tim Bonser, Paul Bullion, Rachel Knowles, Hannah Malekzad, James Nelson, Michael Burgen, and Amelia Adams-Pearce.
The creative team includes Jenny Arnold (choreography), Tony Castro (musical director), Hugh Durrant (scenic and costume design), Nick Richings (lighting design), Terry Jardine (sound design), and Avgoustos Psillas (sound design).
