More tickets for the 2005
Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Monty Python's Spamalot, playing at Broadway's Shubert Theatre (225 W. 44th Street), are now on sale through June 4,
2006.
The irreverent musical blockbuster, which is based upon the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, opened at the Shubert on March 17th. In addition to the Best Musical Tony, Spamalot picked up the Best Director of a
Musical Tony for Mike Nichols and Best Featured Actress in a Musical for
Sara Ramirez. In addition, it won the 2005 Drama Desk and Outer Critics
Circle Awards for Outstanding Musical. The
show's score is by Eric Idle and John Du Prez with a book by Idle, and
in addition to Ramirez, it features Tim Curry, Hank Azaria, Christopher
Sieber, Michael McGrath, Christian Borle and others as its loopy
knights.
The Decca Broadway original cast recording of Monty Python's Spamalot has
been in the Billboard Top 200 charts for the past six weeks; it is the fasting-selling Broadway cast album since Rent. It was also # 5 in the Top Sellers for all music
on the May 2005 Amazon.com sales charts.
