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

Great event and cast. Saw this many years ago at larger venue and this was more intimate, and just down the street from my house. Actually understood more this time around and so did my friends who attended with me. Love GoldStar..D of LB

This is the first time I've seen this well-known show. I was quite pleased that there were 10 Equity actors in the cast who have inhabited various CATS-skins for a number of years. Their familiarity and expertise with the show was apparent, and they kept their characters' performances fresh while guiding the "kittens" through the show's challenges. The rest of the cast (kittens") were quite talented students in local college BFA or MFA programs. Sadly, I wasn't happy with the Grizzabella or the Mefistofellees actors; one seemed jaded/bored and the other was smaller than he needed to be for the impact he was supposed to have-he didn't quite fill the stage. It was anti-climatic, in what's supposed to be the 'big finish.' However, the staging and dancing was terrific; the set was junk-yard evocative and appropriate, and the actors made the most of the crevices, ledges and hidey-holes in it. Strong acting and singing by the leads, and particularly enjoyed Old Deuteronomy character's singing-words were crystal clear!! A production well worth seeing. Thanks, Goldstar, for making it possible.

Description

No dogs will be allowed at this show, and for good reason! A Tony Award-winner for Best Musical, this song-and-dance spectacular is also one of the longest-running musicals in Broadway history. Enchanting music (including the immortal "Memory") and fantastic dancing make this a perfect show for lovers of man's second-best friend. Purr-fect for the entire family.
