Douglas Sills Out of Monty Python's Spamalot
By: BWW News Desk Nov. 19, 2004
The producers of the new musical acknowledge that considerable changes in the original script have taken place during the rehearsal process dramatically affecting the roles that Douglas Sills was playing. After extensive conversations between Douglas and the creative team, he has chosen to withdraw from the production.
A representative for Mr. Sills commented that while Douglas' excitement about the production has not diminished, he feels it is artistically necessary and best for not only himself, but for the show as well, for him to depart in its early stages.
A new cast member will be announced shortly.
