<\/a><\/div>\n‘Spamalot’ is one for all, Monty Python fan or not it,\u00a0the show\u00a0creates is own vibe and that’s not because of the songs, but what the actors bring to the show.<\/p>\n
The Story like I have stated before is a ‘ripped off’ version of the classic film ‘Monty Phyton and the Holy Grail’ following King Arthur and Patsy (his horse\/servant) in seeking men to be a knight to join his army to help seek the holy grail, with mini strange encounters on the way.\u00a0 The musical shows many scenes from the film for example, the coconuts sketch, Not Dead\u00a0Yet,\u00a0the French Castle, the Knights who say Ni,\u00a0The Black Night, Prince\u00a0Herbert and\u00a0Tim the Enchanter.\u00a0\u00a0It also brings new and comic scenes too\u00a0the Knights binge in Camelot,\u00a0and Galahad becoming a\u00a0knight to name a few\u00a0and also bring new faces such\u00a0as\u00a0the added Character of the Lady of the Lake, and how she helped King Arthur on his quest and to give him the sword of Excalibur (which fits in with the true historian story of King Arthur). \u00a0The story flows well and even if you do not know of the Monty Phython Stories those viewing will not be able to stop laughing, for the actors give it there all to give the best they can! The Songs also, although you have a the classic\u00a0“Always look\u00a0on the Brightside of life’ and “Fisch Schlapping Song”\u00a0“Knights of the round table”\u00a0“Brave Sir Robin” the\u00a0other songs bring in the Monty Python feel to them “He is Not\u00a0Dead\u00a0Yet” and a favourite “The Song That Goes Like This” which\u00a0just says it all about the musical theatre, and just how Eric Idle can turn it around! I bought the soundtrack straight after seeing the show the first time around and still its a favourite on the iTunes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
luckily I had the full running cast performing in both performance I have seen, theses being<\/p>\n
<\/a>The only actor I have seen before from the cast is Jon Robyns, which was when he was performing at he Noel Coward Theatre in ‘Avenue Q’ in 2006, where he played the original West End Princeton and Rod. He was amazing in that, and from this day I still feel he is the best actor for the puppets! Though in ‘Spamalot’ it was interesting to watch him use both his hands and feet for that matter, although\u00a0I know most actors on West End are all round dance sing act, seeing him dance was just amazing! and he can dance.\u00a0 He portrays Galahad well and his change from Dennis to Sir Galahad was brilliant, and I think he loves his wig to much with the great timing for each hair flick! its interesting for him to have this role also, as while on tour this role was played by Simon Lipkin (who appears on the Recording album) as he also was in Avenue Q with Jon the same time I saw it! but you can also see why as in some ways they have the same comic ability.<\/div>\n
