Broadway Awards Spam

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the insert-favorite-python-quote-ni dept.

norfolkboy writes "Spamalot the musical that is! The BBC is reporting that Spamalot has topped the nominations for Broadway's main awards, the Tonys. It is nominated for 14 awards. Of course, this has nothing to do with SPAM, but since the Musical was previously announced on Slashdot, I thought readers would be interested in this followup."

  1. You're a Looney! by killproc · · Score: 5, Funny


    Strange critics, lying about in flats, distributing nominations, is no basis for a system of awardship.

    If I were to claim an Oscar because some moistened bent lobbed a nomination at me, they'd put me away.

  2. First use of the word spam on the internet - 1987 by notthepainter · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I have the dubious honor of first using the word "spam" on the interent to describe unwanted electronic communication. I certainly didn't intend anything at the time, indeed, my mention went largely unnoticed, the MUDers really deserve the credit, but I was first...

  3. I saw the show opening weekend... by RegalBegal · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Thanks to an incredible gift. It was hilarious, it blended the old with much new material. I didn't stop laughing the entire time and they also incorporated parts from other Python movies that any Python fan will recognize. While the tickets ARE pricey I recommend anyone to check the show out with the cast as it is now (Azaria, Hyde-Pierce, Curry, etc). Well worth the money, hilarious and I'm glad it got a boat load of nominations. So yeah, Go, NOW, it's worth it and NY is always a decent weekend trip.
