Carpenter Performing Arts Center hosts The Capitol Steps, the political satire group of former congressional staffers that lambasts Washington culture, sometimes even taking on the very people and places that once employed them! No one is safe from ridicule in their song parodies, skits and standup. The Capitol Steps formed in 1981 and they have released thirty comedy albums.

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 show was really funny. We had a good time at the Capitol Steps performance at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center. The theatre is easy to find from the 405 freeway. Parking ($5) is very easy and plentiful in the lot in front of the theatre. As Red Velvet members we were given excellent seats for a sold out show. The management wanted us to be happy with our seats which we were as we sat towards the front of the theatre.

Carpenter Center is a great auditorium. Comfy seats and good visibility.

Capitol Steps were everything I'd hoped for and more. Clever satire and zany physical comedy performed with high energy and enthusiasm. A night to remember!
