Spamalot - The coolest show ever!

BBC has a short article on Spamalot's UK opening. I saw this in NYC with my wife recently. Honestly, this is the funniest show I have ever seen! Go see it... any where... any way you can! Thanks to my wife for the heads up on the article:-) Love ya hun!

Rather than a formal question and answer session, Python star Eric Idle, who created the musical, treated his audience to dancing girls, sketches and songs.

As the show features flatulent Frenchmen, a legless knight and killer rabbits, it was no surprise that Idle went for the unconventional.

Taking to the stage at the West End's Palace Theatre, he introduced the plans for the musical with a mixture of stand-up comedy and excerpts from the show.

In keeping with Python's black humour, every attempt at promotion ended with deliberate anti-climax.

Amid the joking, Idle repeatedly stressed the musical's American success.

"With 83% of all musicals failing on Broadway, Spamalot is a hit," he said. - Source news.bbc.uk 2/21/06
