SPAMALOT Bids Farewell to West End, Plays Final Performance 1/3
By: Eddie Varley Jan. 03, 2009
Monty Python's Spamalot plays its final performance at the Palace Theatre today, January 3rd, 2009.
Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table, and featuring a bevy of beautiful showgirls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people, Monty Pyton's SPAMALOT "raises silliness to an art form" (The Sunday Times) and has been hailed as "a no holds-barred smash hit." (The New Yorker)
The Grammy Award-winning score is by Eric Idle and John Du Prez.
Sanjeev Bhaskar plays King Arthur. He is confirmed as the last King of the Britons to perform at the Palace Theatre in Monty Python’s SPAMALOT. Bhaskar was due to end his run on 5 October, but retained his throne until the show’s final West End performance this evening, Saturday 3 January 2009 at 8pm. In June this year Bhaskar was crowned as the new King Arthur, following in the footsteps of Tim Curry, Simon Russell Beale, Peter Davison and Alan Dale.
