Spamalot recently won the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, as well as Best Director of a Musical 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.
