Theater - Spamelot

Spamelot - currently touring the UK, a fantastic musical 'lovingly ripped off' from Monty Python. 


The show takes you to the time of King Arthur (Phil Jupitus) and his trusty steed, Patsy (Todd Carty) on his quest for the Holy Grail. But first finding his knights of the round table to help him on his adventure that leads him to some intertesting encounters with people suck like, The knights that say Nii, the Black Knight and argueably the worst of the lot; The French. I wont say anymore other than you can expect a new, slightly more male side to Rapunzel (but only slight) but do not worry, he does find his knight in shining armor in  the end. 




Now when the word 'musical' is mentioned; some of you automatically turn off or loose interest and in some cases i do not blame you BUT DO NOT FOR THIS! the songs are just as funny as the dialogue ands it does not feel as if they have over packed it with unnessacary singing.


The casts acting is superb, even mistakes were well played off. The atmosphere created by everyone involved was excelent and was enjoyed by all.


There is too many examples of how good of an experiance it is seeing this show, truely recommended to anyone of any age! 


9/10
