Monty Python's Spamalot at Hollywood Bowl

Why see Monty Python's Spamalot?

Python Return to the bowl

Co-created by original Python Eric Idle, Spamalot is a hugely irreverent spin on the comedy troupe's classic 1975 comedy movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It follows the adventures of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table on their quest for the ancient artifact, skewering every Broadway and musical convention along the way (for example, one of the key musical numbers is titled The Song That Goes Like This). The English legends have a long history with the venue, having played their legendary live show here in 1982.

Full of Python silliness, surreal skits and the worst French accents you'll ever hear, Spamalot has gone down as a bit of a modern classic. Mike Nichol's original Broadway production of the show opened in 2005 to ecstatic reviews and 3 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It plays the Hollywood Bowl for three semi-staged performances this July and August.

Best Production of SPAMALOT I've ever seen!

I'm amazed by this production of Spamalot. I'm an avid theatre goer and after having watched the original Broadway cast, the Broadway Revival and a couple of regional theatres doing their renditions of Spamalot I can assure you that this National Tour is by far the BEST version you'll ever seen. The cast's energy is just contagious, the acting, the dialect, the costumes, scenery...ALL on point! Leslie Jackson is amazing as Lady of the Lake, with incredible vocal range, and solid acting chops. I also have to give props to all the Knights of the round table, they will make you laugh until your belly hurts. The choreography is also perfection, and it really adds to the humor of the show. Among very talented cast members the Featured Dancer Mateus Barbosa da Silva was definitely one of the highlights of the show. He wasn't just impeccable on his dancing but he also had perfect comedic timing (which I find it hard to see in dancers nowadays). If you have the opportunity go watch them before they finish the tour! ... Read more

Hilarious Fun - Loved it!

Had a magical evening watching Spamalot! Cast was fantastic, the show quick paced and witty, with every number leaving you giggling and laughing. Managed to capture the essence of the movie, but weaved in new material to keep things fresh. Got to watch it with 3 generations of family, all loved it, and honestly one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in a long time - Highly Recommend!!!!! Thank you Spamalot team and the Tobin center for a wonderful night!! ... Read more
