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

Overall- entertaining show- with lots of beautiful singing voices- but left our family with the feeling that it could have been much better:
Annie- strong, beautiful, clear singing voice, but acting very stiff and emotionless- no spunk- also too tall for the part.
Hannigan (Andrea McArdle) - very disappointing- this is not the part for her- she wasn't brash or loud or scary enough- kept thinking she was trying to protect her voice. Did not give the kids a reason to hate her. (It was still cool to see her in the show though).
Orphans- littlest one- Molly- was great. The rest very talented, but as a group were too uniform (all caucasian- close to the same size, similar voices) also- very clean looking- they didn't look like orphans.
Rooster- awesome, funny.
Lily- disappointing- not funny enough- where was the comedy in her character??
Also great performances by Oliver Warbucks and the Star -to -Be, who had an amazing singing voice!

This was a great production - the signing was wonderful - and it was a blast to see Andrea Mc Ardle playing Miss Hannigan.
