Before their joke-strewn journey concludes, the knights must first overcome a slew of silly obstacles, including cows, the sirens of Castle Anthrax, other knights who say “Ni!,” and one bloodthirsty rabbit. Amid clever one-liners and flashy costumes, whimsical songs send feet and coconuts a-tapping, from familiar Python movie tunes such as Knights of the Round Table and Always Look on the Bright Side of Life to melodies specific to the musical, including The Song That Goes Like This.With a book by Monty Python’s own Eric Idle, a jaunty score by John Du Prez (who also scored The Meaning of Life), and direction by Hollywood and comedy legend Mike Nichols, Spamalot snagged the Tony Award for Best Musical on its 2005 debut. Now the widely lauded production, hailed as a no-holds-barred smash hit by the New Yorker, continues its conquest, delighting audiences with such off-kilter lyrics as “Were knights of the round table/We dance when ere were able/ We do routines and chorus scenes/With footwork impeccable/ We dine well here in Camelot/We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.”
