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

The band is great. Too bad more folks were not there. The venue is nice and easily accessible.

I was unfamiliar with this group but was totally knocked out at their St. Patrick's Day concert! The skill of the guitar, banjo, concertina, violin and lute playing was staggering. The musicianship absolutely top notch. Many of the selections were composed by members of the band and had great variety from lonely and plaintive to joyous and celebratory. Each band member had their turn introducing various selections and the audience very much enjoyed their Irish charm and wit. I bought both of their CDs and will certainly look for them again next time they come to So Cal. It was one of the best concerts I've been to in a long time. Only (small) complaint was that the female singer's lyrics were virtually impossible to understand. ("Sing out, Louise!")
