Spamalot, the hit Broadway musical based on Monty Python & The Holy Grail, is returning to Broadway for the first time since its original run ended in 2009. This new Kennedy Center presentation opens November 16 at the St. James Theater with previews beginning October 31. Tickets are on sale.
“I’m thrilled to see Spamalot back on Broadway,” says Monty Python‘s Eric Idle, who wrote the book and lyrics and co-wrote the music with John Du Prez. “More than ever, it seems we need a good laugh and it’s inspiring to see audiences still embracing this, the most happy of shows I have ever worked on. So put the News Cycle on Rinse Cycle and take a couple of hours to relax with the Lady of the Lake, King Arthur and the Knights Who Say Ni because we’re not dead yet!”
Josh Rhodes, who directed the 2005-2009 original Broadway run, returns, and the 2023 Spamalot cast includes James Monroe Iglehart as King Arthur, SNL alum Taran Killam at Sir Lancelot (Alex Brightman will take over the role starting 1/8), Jimmy Smagula as Sir Bedevere, Michael Urie as “Brave” Sir Robin, Nik Walker as Sir Galahad, and Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer as the Lady of the Lake.
