| Monty Python's Spamalot @ Sydney Event Centre | |||
The legendary search for the Holy Grail is officially headed for Australia! After a spectacular season at Perth's Planet Royale in May, Drew Anthony Creative has announced that the Tony Award®–winning Best Musical, MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT, will gallop into Melbourne and Sydney for a limited engagement during September and October this year. This riotous retelling of the adventures of King Arthur and his loyal Knights features a book and lyrics by Monty Python’s very own Eric Idle, with a celebrated score by John Du Prez and Idle. The hilarious and clever production ruthlessly—and affectionately—parodies the staples of musical theatre, showcasing a truly unique blend of powerful Broadway-style vocals, tap-dancing knights, and even the occasional flying cow! Since its 2005 Broadway debut, where it garnered 14 Tony Award nominations and secured three wins including Best Musical, MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT has established itself as a landmark of contemporary musical theatre. Renowned for its anarchic comedic style and sharp absurdity, the production features a legendary score with infectious classics such as “Find Your Grail,” “The Song That Goes Like This,” and the iconic “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”. “Lovingly ripped off” from the 1975 cinematic masterpiece Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the award winning musical offers everything a theatregoer could desire - French taunters, killer rabbits, fish slapping, and the magnificent Lady of the Lake.

The Gospel According to Paul is meticulously crafted entertainment. It’s uplifting without pulling any punches.
While Bonachela’s work is, as always, dreamily lovely, for me the highlights were absolutely the three commissioned choreographers: Azzam Mohamed, Jenni Large and Raghav Handa.
