Musical Theatre West Brings Spamalot to Long Beach
- Full Price:
- $53.00 - $68.00
- Our Price:
- $26.50 - $34.00
Musical Theatre West brings its 59th season to a close with one of the funniest shows on Earth, Monty Python's Spamalot. Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, Spamalot lovingly rips off the film classic Monty Python and The Holy Grail to tell the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on their epic quest. However, diverting a bit from the real story, this hilarious musical features such oddities as a line of beautiful dancing girls, flatulent Frenchmen and killer rabbits. A cast of professional actors from the Broadway, Hollywood and national tours, as well as the best in local talent, will perform the show with the original Broadway sets and costumes. Learn More

wow, wonderful cast that delivered in both singing and acting!. It is very interesng how they created a story revolving around the signing of the declaration, although we know that they will sign it, you still feel like they wouldnt sign it until after the end. funny and suspensefulWritten on Jul 26 2010

Enjoyed this show (especially the strong performances) but there was not enough music for a "musical" to my liking....songs were the exception. Also, the first "half" of the show was 1 hour and 40 minutes ended at 11pm so plan for a long evening/afternoon.Written on Jul 16 2010

Description
Davis Gaines, known by most Southern California theatergoers for his portrayal of the titular character in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, will be joining the previously announced Steven Glaudini (John Adams) and Tami Tappan Damiano (Abigail Adams) as Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia in 1776.
Musical Theatre West is excited to be producing as powerful a musical as 1776, with one of the best scripts of the genre (so good, that you'll wonder if they'll ever get it together to sign the Declaration of Independence). And to have Mr. Gaines, one of the foremost talents in musical theatre, involved is just icing on the cake.
In addition to being Los Angeles' longest-running Phantom of the Opera, Mr. Gaines has appeared throughout the Southland in Parade (Mark Taper Forum), Side by Side, By Sondheim (Pasadena Playhouse), and Sweeney Todd (Reprise! at the Ahmanson Theatre).
Tami Tappan Damiano, recently headlined Musical Theatre West's spring fundraiser, A Fine Romance..In Song and Dance alongside David Engel. Ms. Damiano returns to Musical Theatre West after appearing in their productions of Crazy for You, Never Gonna Dance, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change and The Full Monty. She has also been seen on Broadway in Cyrano, and on tour in Miss Saigon.
MTW's Artistic Director/Producer, Steven Glaudini takes the stage to reprise his 2004 Ovation Award winning role as John Adams. Previous to becoming MTW's Artistic Director, Mr. Glaudini was the Executive Director/Producer for Performance Riverside, where he performed such roles as Finch in How to Succeed..., Fagin in Oliver!, and the Narrator in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
1776 will be directed by Ovation Award winner Nick DeGruccio (MTW's Rent, The Andrews Brothers, La Cage Aux Folles) with musical direction by Matthew Smedal (Cabrillo Music Theatre's Little Shop of Horrors).
