Spamalot Welcomes Hadary and Mazzie October 31

Tony Award-nominees Jonathan Hadary and Marin Mazzie will take over the roles of King Arthur and The Lady of the Lake, in the Broadway production of the Tony Award-winning Best Musical Monty Python's Spamalot tomorrow, Tuesday October 31 at the Shubert Theatre.

Broadway veteran Hadary received a Tony Award nomination for his performance in the 1989 revival of Gypsy. He last appeared on Broadway in Awake And Sing, and his other credits include all Shook Up, The Best Man, Guys and Dolls, As Is, Torch Song Trilogy and Gemini.

Mazzie received Tony and Drama Desk nominations and an Outer Critics Circle Award for her performance in the hit revival of Kiss Me, Kate as well as an Olivier Award nomination when she made her West End debut in the show. Other Broadway credits include Ragtime (Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics nominations), Passion (Tony nomination), Man of La Mancha, Into The Woods, and Big River.

Sold-out since it opened on March 17, 2005, Monty Python's Spamalot has remained one of the hottest tickets on Broadway.  The show is also on a North American tour, currently in Toronto following record-breaking engagements in Boston and Washington, DC. Spamalot just opened at London's Palace Theatre and will open in Las Vegas at the Wynn Hotel in March 2007.

Directed by eight-time Tony Award-winner Mike Nichols, the musical also features a book by Eric Idle, based on the screenplay of Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Monty Python creators Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, with music and lyrics by Eric Idle and John Du Prez. Tony Award nominee Casey Nicholaw is the choreographer. 

Lovingly "ripped-off" from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Spamalot is the winner of three 2005 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director (Mike Nichols), as well as the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for Best Musical.
