Truly, a Knight to Remember
I suppose there are a few people who won’t enjoy Spamalot. The chronically depressed, the criminally insane and the snootier drama critics may find it hard to raise a smile. The loss is all theirs, however, and I suspect everyone else will have an absolute ball. There has never been a sillier musical than this, or one more calculated to appeal to the British sense of humour. Already a hit on Broadway there is a genuine sense that the show has come home with its arrival at the Palace.
Spamalot
I have to confess to being something of a Monty Python agnostic, having never found their brand of bloke-ish, deliberately daft but somewhat smugly knowing Oxbridge humour hugely to my taste. Luckily, Eric Idle and John Du Prez’s much-lauded musical is more than simply a fan-pleasing reheated mega-mix of best bits…
Spamalot
Nichols' production mixes the rowdy and the sophisticated. When King Arthur announces that the holy grail is purely a metaphor, we hear the clang of a cymbal in the pit. And the best of the sight gags shows the knights processing through various landscapes symbolised by an unfolding screen.
