Monty Python’s Spamalot at Wynn Las Vegas
Monty Python's Spamalot is one of the more fun & entertaining shows on the Las Vegas strip. It's currently playing inside the Wynn Las Vegas hotel.
As recently reported by the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog:
So is “Spamalot” simply an adaption of the film? Monty Python fans know that nothing is ever as it seems when it comes to comedy, and to always expect the unexpected. While “Spamalot” lifts primarily from the original film, it also serves up a buffet of classic Python songs from past “Flying Circus” skits, and includes them into the story in clever and seamless ways. The rest of the production adds new extended scenes into the story that fit well with the absurd sense of humor the film is known for.
Leading the cast of “Spamalot” is John O’Hurley (of “Seinfeld” fame) as King Arthur. All of the “Holy Grail’s” s befuddled Knights of the Round Table are present to continue their awkward search for the lost relic, as well as some new characters, such as the show stealing, divaesque Lady of the Lake with her “huge tracts of land”, and her backup “Laker Girl” dancers. Never fear, Python fans: The taunting Frenchmen, the Black Knight and the Killer Rabbit are all here too. The ensemble cast provide a solid and hilarious performance, gleefully bouncing back and forth between the story, and breaking the fourth wall to remind the audience that they are watching a stage musical set in Las Vegas.
Anyone who is a fan of the classic Monty Python movies will surely enjoy this show. John O'Hurley is fantastic in his role and also included is a behind the scenes tour and a chance to have pictures taken with the cast.
