Monty Python Musical ‘Spamalot’ Returns To Broadway With Ethan Slater, Taran Killam & Michael Urie – And Rave Reviews

A revival of Monty Python’s classic musical Spamalot officially opened on November 16 at Broadway’s St. James Theatre.

The musical began performances on October 31 and stars Tony award-winning actor James Monroe Iglehart, known for his roles in Aladdin and Hamilton, who portrays the character of King Arthur. He is joined by Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer from Beetlejuice as The Lady of the Lake, Tony nominee Christopher Fitzgerald from Waitress as Patsy, Tony nominee Ethan Slater from SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical as The Historian/Prince Herbert, Taran Killam from Hamilton and Saturday Night Live as Lancelot, Jimmy Smagula from Billy Elliot as Sir Bedevere, Drama Desk Award winner Michael Urie from Shrinking and Torch Song as Sir Robin, and Nik Walker from Hamilton as Sir Galahad.

The musical is based on the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail and follows King Arther and the Knights of the Round Table on their comical quest to find the Holy Grail.

The musical received the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2005, 30 years after the film was released.  Iglehart said, “This is the show just to have fun. This is the show just to laugh. Come here and have a good time.”

Kritzer excitedly said of her experience, “This is probably the comedy that I’ve done that I’ve been able to show the most of what I do, which is very exciting.”

The production has earned rave reviews for updating the comedy classic.

Slater has been in the news for his relationship with pop star Ariana Grande.
