Culturein 7hSpamalot
Athenaeum Theatre One
Approximate Running Times: Doors: 30 minutes prior to start Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT, lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy of beautiful showgirls not to mention village idiots, cows, killer rabbits, and French people. Bursting with unforgettable songs, absurd humour, and zany characters, this musical is a rollicking celebration of all things Monty Python. With its laugh-out-loud moments and unforgettable anthem "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," it's a gloriously entertaining journey that leaves audiences in stitches from start to finish. "Camp, comical, and bursting with talent, this is a show not to be missed. Rush to get tickets - it is guaranteed to lift your spirits and make you roar with laughter. It's one of the best show's I've seen this year." - Graeme Watson (Out In Perth)

A helpful dog, bird and frog find the witch's lost things, and they all hop on the broom for a ride. But this broomstick's not meant for five and - CRACK - the broom snaps in two! When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch? And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?
