Musical Theatre West Brings Spamalot to Long Beach

- $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

We liked this play very much. The music was great and the lead, River, was fantastic! I lost interest momentarely while Holly was singing. I didn't think she fit in well at all. Other than that I would see it again!Written on Apr 12 2011

Great cast. Young and energetic. Music related well to the story and the voices were beautiful. Dialogue was clear and understandable. Staging and lighting were superb. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.Written on Apr 08 2011

Bigger production, but not better, than Roger Bean's previous hits -- Marvelous Wonderettes and Life Could Be A Dream. Lots of fun and energy, but a bit uneven as a whole. Some of the songs (though nicely delivered -- like "Piece of My Heart") don't fit the story well and feel out of place. Nonetheless, several are brilliant and are integrated nicely and offer a rare and excellent theater experience for former hippies, with fidelity (Crystal Blue Persuasion, White Rabbit, and Spinning Wheel particularly). Like being high without the drugs -- well done. Also it successfully communicates the importance of belonging to a "family". Worth seeing.Written on Apr 03 2011

The creator of The Andrews Brothers and The Marvelous Wonderettes now brings audiences all the groovy music of the late 1960s as we follow Holly, a runaway bride to the Haight-Ashbury, where she learns to make her own kind of music! Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair; it's gonna be a real trip!
Roger Bean (writer/director) created and directed the off-Broadway production of The Marvelous Wonderettes, and the long-running Los Angeles production received the 2007 Los Angeles Ovation Award for Best Musical.
