Four finalists have emerged from the many who entered the Video That Goes Like This contest launched on August 4, 2005, courtesy of Spamalot. Entrants created a one minute-long music video using one of the songs off of The Original Cast Recording of Spamalot. 

"We have narrowed it down...and now it's up to you! Online voters will select a winner who will receive a free trip for two to New York City along with tickets to see the hilarious Tony Award winning musical – Spamalot!" according to press notes. Voting begins today, October 4th.

Lovingly "ripped-off" from the internationally famous comedy team's Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot received the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical as well as Best Director for Mike Nichols and Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Sara Ramirez, it also won the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for Best Musical. The show's score is by Eric Idle and John Du Prez with a book by Idle. In addition to Curry and Ramirez, the show currently features David Hyde Pierce, Christopher Sieber, Christian Borle, Alan Tudyk, Michael McGrath, and Steve Rosen.

Produced by Boyett Ostar Productions, Spamalot boasts choreography by Casey Nicholaw, set and costume design by Tim Hatley, lighting design by Hugh Vanstone and sound design by ACME Sound Partners.

Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and their quest for the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Spamalot features a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits and one legless knight. The show, which opened at the Shubert Theatre on March 17th, has continued to play to sold-out houses and break box office records.
