Funnier than the black death! Spamalot transferred from its critically acclaimed run in Colchester to the Daegu International Musical Festival in 2017.

Lovingly ripped off from the hugely successful 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this spammier than ever production is a riotous comedy full of misfit knights, killer rabbits, dancing nuns and ferocious Frenchmen. Join King Arthur as he travels with his hapless Knights of the Round Table on a divine mission to locate the illusive Holy Grail – with uproarious consequences.

Spamalot was the winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best New Musical, while it enjoyed a victorious West End run. This hilarious show is written by Python legend Eric Idle, who has been entertaining the British public for over 50 years. The funnyman also wrote the score alongside John DuPrez, famous for his work on Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life amongst a host of other big-name scores.

Cast: Mark Aklinfolarin, John Brannoch, Daniel Cane, Grace Eccleson, Bob Harms, Sarah Harlington, Norton James, Matthew Pennington, Gleanne Purcell-Brown, Simon Shorten and Dale Superville
