Monty Python’s SPAMALOT returns to Broadway this Autumn

The search for the grail continues on Broadway this Autumn! Direct from a sold out run at the Kennedy Center, it has been announced that the Tony Award-winning Best Musical comedy Monty Python's Spamalot will return to the St. James Theatre from 31 October.

Spamalot will be the first production from the Kennedy Center’s Broadway Center Stage series to transfer to Broadway since its inception in 2018. Josh Rhodes will return from the Kennedy Center production to direct and choreograph on Broadway.

The musical, which first galloped onto Broadway in 2005, features a book & lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle. The original Broadway production was nominated for fourteen Tony Awards and won three, including Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical (Mike Nichols) and Best Featured Actress (Sara Ramirez as The Lady of the Lake) and featured choreography by Casey Nicholaw.

Eric Idle said: "I’m thrilled to see Spamalot back on Broadway. More than ever, it seems we need a good laugh and it's inspiring to see audiences still embracing this, the most happy of shows I have ever worked on. So put the News Cycle on Rinse Cycle and take a couple of hours to relax with the Lady of the Lake, King Arthur and the Knights Who Say Ni because we're not dead yet!"

Casting and further creative team will be revealed at a later date.
