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."

    EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A MUSICAL!

    Oh lord, when will it end. Please. Monty Python has created some of the most hysterical movies I have ever seen. Their skit/sketch comedy was genius. Yes, they sometimes had musical bits.

    But *ONE MEMBER* reworking Holy Grail?

    Sorry, I can't be a fanboy. All I can think is.
    'Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo'

    If it's without the original cast it's worthless. Anyone else saying "It's a flesh wound!", "Run Away!", "African or European?", "Ni!", etc, is just blasphemy.
