Monty Python's Spamalot - A right royal round of laughs for all

Sponsored content from Musical Theatre Dunedin

DUNEDINITES will be ‘‘looking on the bright side of life’’ when Monty Python’s Spamalot gallops into the Mayfair Theatre from September 7 to 17, 2016.

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 showgirls, witch burnings (cancelled due to health and safety concerns), not to mention cows, killer rabbits, the Knights of Ni, and French people.

The show features fantastic tunes more magical than a Camelot convention, including Not Dead Yet, Knights of the Round Table, Find Your Grail and, of course, the nation’s favourite comedy song (Readers Digest Poll 2010 — before it went bust), Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

Spamalot will make audiences laugh-a-lot, sing-along-a-lot, dress-up in silly costumes a lot and revel in the ‘‘glorious, irresistible silliness’’ of the most infectiously funny musical of the millennium.

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is a kind-of-new musical, with the book by Eric Idle and an entirely new score for the new production (well, almost) created by Eric Idle and John Du Prez. 

This show is a truly joyous, colourful spectacle and fantastic fun — funnier than the Black Death!

Musical Theatre Dunedin, which brought you the sublime The Phantom of the Opera last year, now brings you the glorious ridiculousness of Monty Python’s 

Once again, Musical Theatre Dunedin has cast all local performers, and are delighted to be showcasing the depth of talent that Dunedin has.

There are seasoned performers, along with those newer to the stage, who have risen to the challenge of bringing the irrespressible humour of Monty Python to life.
