Spamalot to Open at Wynn Las Vegas in 2007

"Wynn Las Vegas is a perfect fit for our show," said Bill Haber representing the Broadway producers of Monty Python's SPAMALOT, and continued, "We are thrilled with our collaboration with showman extraordinaire, Steve Wynn. Steve saw immediately that Mike Nichols, Eric Idle and their team, had created a timeless entertainment in Monty Python's SPAMALOT, that will draw audiences of all ages and backgrounds to the smartest new address on the Las Vegas Strip."

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.
