Monty Python's Holy Grail goes Broadway
Sixyphe writes "First sighted on Yahoo News, it would seem that Eric Idle of Monty Python fame is working on a Broadway musical adaptation of everybody's favorite source of accurate medieval data, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The goal is 2005, and the working title is Spamelot (and not Spamalot, contrary to what an AP wire claims). And as a bonus to all you North-American Python fans, Eric Idle is soon to be touring in Canada and the US."
the airspeed of an unladen swallow?
One over there, an another over there...
I just hope that they eat Sr. Robin's minstrels early.

This will be the most pathetic thread in this story.
I await proof to the contrary.
Whatever you do do not eat the free 'Crunchy Frog' candy they give you at the entrance.
Seriously though , why does this meret a slashdot posting?
:D I mean, even the term "spam" is purely attributed to Monte Python. Its a nerd thing.
Its Monte Python, for god's sake! Thats why!
I would say "You must be new here" but I don't need the karma.

Hopefully the actor that is going save get Galahad from the virgins is late coming onto the stage which will call for some adlibing . . .
Do you think they'll have a Spanish Inquisition? 'Cause I don't think I'd expect it...
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos

I have fond memories of sitting in an upscale Japanese hibachi restaurant 15 years ago with a bunch of programmer "nerds" singing the Spam song. That, and an alcohol-induced duet of Sit on My Face with a coworker's wife. Come to think of it, it's surprisingly difficult to get arrested for disturbing the peace.
My God, man, had this not shown up on Slashdot many a fine nerd might have missed Idle's tour. He's no Darl McBride, but he's still pretty damn funny...
That he's not just sitting around being idle
On second thought, let's not go to Broadway. 'Tis a silly place.

SVM, ERGO MONSTRO.
Let us not go there for it is a silly place.
Its only a model.
Americans are not a race.
Yeah, they're a disease.
... who are about to be exposed to endless repetitive Monty Python quotes. My gf was so relieved that I'm a Spaceballs fan.
I mean REALLY.... I fart in your general direction...
Do you or your partner snore? - Visit www.snoring.com.au
Do you mean subdued as in "Bennie Hill"? Or perhaps the subtle reparte that we see in "Are You Being Served"?
Just asking.
...it would certainly be a lot of fun to see stuff like the Camelot scene performed live.
It's only a model.

Then again, there are plenty of funny quotes to go around.

So what you aww saying is that you whaatew see a wewelease/bwoadway show of Life of Bwwian instead?
Do you mean subdued as in "Bennie Hill"? Or perhaps the subtle reparte that we see in "Are You Being Served"?
Maybe he's talking about Red Dwarf? Or the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

Wait a minute... Doesn't that mean that
We apologise for the karma-whoring in this post. Those user responsible has been sacked.
Losers choose to abuse the use of "loose".
This is supposed to be a happy occasion! Let's not bicker and argue about who made what into a musical!
Now that's something completely different!
Ni, ni ni ni.
Ni ni nininini

Mind you, moose bites can be pretty nasti.
I bet someone replies to this, and sacks me.
The latest Slashdot meme.
You know, because nothing like "Survivor" or musical "Idol" shows has ever been successful in Britain.

When you want to put down Americans and their TV watching, just remember: it wasn't America who made "Baywatch" the most watched show on the planet.
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
Can you please elaborate on how sliced bread helped the literary world?
Didn't hurt. But more than that, it meant authors didn't have to slice their bread themselves...putting in great jeopardy those precious fingers with which they write.
Or, perhaps, you could explain again how sheep's bladders can be employed to prevent earthquakes...
This one's tougher. But you see, there are a lot of sheep in New Zealand and, well, not a lot of earthquakes there. It would follow that sheep's bladders prevent earthquakes. My guess would be that the urine absorbs something from the bladder which, when applied to the soil, stabilizes the land, preventing earthquakes.
