Monty Python's ‘Spamalot’ tells the legendary tale of King Arthur’s quest to find the Holy Grail. Inspired by the classic comedy film, ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail,’ the musical also diverts a bit from more traditional versions of the legend. Instead, ‘Spamalot’ features shennanigans, including a line of beautiful dancing girls, a flatulent Frenchmen and killer rabbits. Throughout the show, Arthur, traveling with his servant Patsy, recruits several knights to accompany him on his quest, including Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad. Besides the rabbits and farting Frenchman, they meet such characters as the Lady of the Lake, Prince Herbert, Tim the Enchanter, Not Dead Fred, the Black Knight and the Knights who say Ni.
