Slashdot Mirror
Monty Python's Spamalot Musical Gets Cast
Frisky070802 writes "Slashdot reported last fall that a musical version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail was in the works for Broadway. A new CNN article talks about the latest news, including casting (Hank Azaria and Tim Curry, as well as David Hyde Pierce of Frasier fame as Sir Robin!) and scheduling. And, oh yeah, it was Spamalot after all.... not Spamelot as the last Slashdot article claimed. Watch for previews late this year and Broadway next spring."
That's just we all needed. As if a bunch of nerds quoting monty python if high pitched shrill nasal voices, followed by raucous laughter wasn't bad enough, now they'll be singing it.

I was going to read the article, but then I got a grip on reality, and I though otherwise.
Oh great, the last thing we need are frenchmen singing off key insults at people.
On the other hand, i've always wondered what the witch burning part would be like in song.
Guess it all depends on if it is an european thunderbird or an african thunderbird..

That is, without doubt, the most gratuitous exclamation mark I have ever seen.
You found Benny Hill funny.
"Lets not make that musical" "you're right, broadway is a silly place"
...the "and no singing!!" sequence?!
Yay! Jim Carrey! Oh wait... Tim Curry.

Funny that the only Remus I ever heard of was in Roman Mythology not Greek. Perhaps someone is not as culturally sophisticated as they thought.
Not just Python nerds, but Curry will bring the Rocky Horror Nerds and Azaria will bring the Simpsons Nerds.
Heck, if they can find a role for Brent Spiner (he's done broadway before), then I think we've got ourselves a geek's wet dream live on stage.

I think you mean the PFJ.
The PFJ was the people's Front of Judea.
Then there was the Judean People's Front.
And the Popular Front of Judea? That's him sitting over there...
When they came for the communists, I said "He's next door. Take him away. Goddam commies."

We're the Knights of the Round Table,
We dance whene'er we're able,
We do routines and chorus scenes
And foot work im-pecc-able
We dine well here in Camelot
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.
We're the Knights of the Round Table
Our shows are formidable
But many times we're given rhymes
That are quite un-sing-able
We're opera mad in Camelot
We sing from the diaphragm-a-lot
In war we're tough and able
Quite indefatigable
Between our quests we sequin vests
And impersonate Clark Gable
It's a busy life in Camelot
I have to push the pram a lot
How cool is it going to be when they launch the cow into the audience!
