TV: In Rehearsal with the Starry Cast of SPAMALOT at the Hollywood Bowl; Plus Performance Sneak Peek!

The much anticipated 2005 Tony Award-winning Best Musical - Monty Python's Spamalot - has finally arrived and is in rehearsal in Los Angeles for its July 31 - August 2, 2015 run at the historic Hollywood Bowl; and BroadwayWorld TV's own Michael Sterling was on hand to talk to the cast.

The LA Philharmonic production stars Kevin Chamberlin as Sir Bedevere, Merle Dandridge as The Lady of the Lake, Warwick Davis as Patsy, Tom Deckman as Not Dead Fred, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Sir Robin, Rick Holmes as Sir Lancelot, Eric Idle as the Historian, Craig Robinson as King Arthur, and Christian Slater as Sir Galahad. The production is directed by BT McNicholl, and musically conducted by Todd Ellison, with choreography adapted and re-staged by Scott Taylor and Billy Sprague Jr. from the original choreography by Casey Nicholaw.

Monty Python's Spamalot has a book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez & Eric Idle. Lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail, by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, Spamalot had its Broadway debut in 2005, directed by Mike Nichols.

The recent history of Broadway musicals at the Hollywood Bowl is nothing short of spectacular, including Hair starring Kristen Bell, Hunter Parrish, Beverly D'Angelo, Benjamin Walker and Amber Riley, directed by Adam Shankman; Chicago starring Ashlee Simpson, Drew Carey, Lucy Lawless and Stephen Moyer, directed by Brooke Shields; The Producers starring Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Richard Kind, Rebecca Romijn and Dane Cook, directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman; Hairspray starring Harvey Fierstein, Drew Carey, John Stamos and Nick Jonas, directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell; and Rent starring Vanessa Hudgens, Nicole Scherzinger and Wayne Brady, directed by Neil Patrick Harris.

Monty Python's Spamalot will have three performances at the Hollywood Bowl this summer - Friday and Saturday, July 31 and August 1, at 8 PM, and Sunday, August 2, at 7:30. Tickets can be purchased in-person at the Hollywood Bowl box office, online at HollywoodBowl.com and via credit card phone order at 323.850.2000.
