Monty Python's Spamalot!

Call 01253 290190 for Details of Booking

 

SPAMALOT, the Tony Award-winning musical based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Eric Idle and John Du Prez is continuing its national tour into 2011 and will be stopping at the Grand Theatre for one week only with two sensational starring names: JODIE PRENGER and TODD CARTY.

 

Audiences all around the world have been roaring with laughter since Monty Python’s Spamalot won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2005. Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy (or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, witch burnings (cancelled - health and safety!) not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.

The show features fantastic tunes which are catchier than the plague He Is Not Dead Yet, Knights of the Round Table, Find Your Grail and of course the Nation’s Favourite Comedy Song (Reader’s Digest Poll 2009) Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.

“The most infectiously funny musical of the millennium,” Eric Idle, Monty Python’s Spamalot continues a sweeping tour of the UK in 2011. Lovingly “ripped off” from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is an almost-new musical with a book by Eric Idle and an entirely new score, (well, almost) created by Eric Idle and John Du Prez.

Blackpool’s Jodie Prenger will star as The Lady In The Lake alongside Todd Carty’s role as Patsy. Jodie is of course best known for winning the coveted role of Nancy in BBC1’s I’d Do Anything television series and went on to star in Oliver in the West End. She has been a regular on our television screens appearing on shows such as The Midweek National Lottery, BBC’s School Choir of the Year 2010, Daily Cook’s Challenge, Loose Women, Children In Need and many more. Todd appeared on our screens for many years playing Mark Fowler in EastEnders and more recently for his role PC Gabriel Kent in The Bill. In 2009 he starred as in the celebrity Dancing On Ice on ITV and has also appeared in Heartbeat and Holby City. Mark has also directed episodes of Doctors for the BBC.

Performances of Monty Python’s Spamalot are Monday to Saturday evenings at 7.30pm, with Thursday and Saturday matinees at 2.00pm.

Don’t miss your night with the Knights of The Round Table at the most infectiously funny musical of the millennium.
