This month, Melbourne welcomes the Australian premiere season of Monty Python’s SPAMALOT. ‘Lovingly ripped off’ from the cult film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, SPAMALOT tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest for the Holy Grail.

The Tony Award winning musical brings the classic Python humour to life and fans will recognise silly walks and sketches including the fish-slapping dance. SPAMALOT features sexy dancing girls, knights in tights, a flatulent Frenchman, killer rabbits and flying cows.

Head to Her Majesty’s Theatre from November 20 and find out what all the fuss is about – you’ll laugh-a-lot.
