“Always look on the bright side of life…”
Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail in song, Monty Python’s Spamalot features a chorus line of knights, men in tights, killer rabbits, and sexy dancing divas. The production also promises “some of the most unforgettable musical numbers you will ever see in the theater on this evening!” The score will be performed onstage by the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra.
The show will be directed by Josh Rhodes, who helmed Broadway Center Stage: The Who’s Tommy.
