DIRECT from three years in the West End, the hit musical Monty Python’s Spamalot gallops to Bath as the Quest for the Holy Grail arrives at the Theatre Royal from Monday 25 May to Saturday 30 May.

Reprising his West End role as King Arthur, Joe Pasquale is joined by his actor son Joe Tracini (Hollyoaks, My Spy Family) as manservant Patsy in Eric Idle’s hugely popular comedy jaunt.

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is a kind-of new musical with a book by Eric Idle and an entirely new score for the new production, (well, almost) created by Eric Idle and John Du Prez.

Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy (or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, witch burnings (cancelled due to health and safety) not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people. The show features fantastic tunes, more magical than a Camelot convention, including He Is Not Dead Yet, Knights of the Round Table, I’m All Alone, Find Your Grail and, of course, the Nation’s Favourite Comedy Song (Reader’s Digest Poll 2010) Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.

Audiences around the world have been roaring with laughter since Monty Python’s Spamalot won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, in 2005. During the recent West End run, there were 21 onstage moustache incidents, three suspected cases of swine flu (French pigs!), three outbreaks of nits and 92 pairs of coconuts used.

Monty Python’s Spamalot appears at the Theatre Royal Bath from Monday 25 to Saturday 30 May. To book tickets contact the Theatre Royal Bath Box Office on 01225 448844 or visit www.theatreroyal.org.uk
