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

Especially "The Arrival" was fresh with lots of energy and beautiful harmony between the choreography and the music+lyrics. The second ballet suite based on Ruth was not as satisfying because the wide range of music did not quite fit together as well and the plot adaptation seemed a bit awkward. However the heart of the piece shone through and the artistry and expressiveness of the dancers were inspired.
