Monty Python's Holy Grail goes Broadway

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the 'tis-a-silly-place dept.

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."

    Gee...if only Eric Idle weren't my least favorite Python. Seriously, his stuff on the show and movies was so-so at best. Do any of the really classic Python quotes or scenes have Idle in them?

    (Michael Palin, of course, being the best, with Terry Jones as Most Underrated).
