Monty Python's SPAMalot Wins 5, no 3 Tony Awards

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wish-i-lived-in-new-york dept.

acreman writes "Monty Python's SPAMalot, a musical lovingly ripped off from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, won 3 of the 14 Tony Awards it was nominated for. The 3 awards given out were for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical (Sara Ramirez), Best Direction of a Musical (Mike Nichols), and Best Musical. "

    Right. Today was supposed to be the DUPE of the story.

  2. And about some of the other musicals... by kria · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I was in New York earlier this year, and among other activities, we saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrals and La Cage aux Folles. Both were VERY good, and I'm pleased to see they won awards (Scoundrals won best male actor in a musical and La Cage got best revival musical and best choreography).

    I know a lot of you might be freaked out by a lot of crossdressers, but really, I recommend both of them.

    (I don't, however, recommend Phantom, which is the other musical we saw. Rent the new movie... it's much better, IMHO.)
