AGS/EGGS Musical 2021 - SPAMalot

Inspired by the 1975 classic comedy film “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”, this 2005 Tony Award winning show (Best Musical) is a hilarious musical comedy that’s guaranteed to make you laugh! Monty Python’s Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur’s quest to gather together his Knights of the Round Table and go in search of the Holy Grail. Diverting from the more traditional versions of this legend, the musical takes King Arthur and his band of misfit knights through some strange lands and into the company of several comical characters, who all challenge them to stay the course or suffer the fate of dying in some absurdly amusing ways!
