THEATER | Hammy parody

Direct from Broadway to Sangamon Auditorium, UIS, Monty Python’s Spamalot is the official national tour of the Tony award-winning musical.

Based on the classic 1975 film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the wackiness continues as King Arthur and his knights (and a few barely-clothed girls) journey for the Holy Grail on the stage. The musical comedy is a co-creation of the Grammy award-winning team Eric Idle (one of the original Pythons) and John Du Prez who wrote the music and lyrics. Tony award-winner Mike Nichols directs.
