Slappie 9 #1 April 24, 2006 Yes that's right, Spamalot is making it's way to Houston for a 4 week run at The Hobby Center. I've never been to a "fine theater" before. Well unless a high school production of "Anny Get Your Gun" counts I'm curious as to who has seen it? What did you think? Worth the money? So who in Houston is up for a show? May 22nd thru June 17th. some info and MontyPythonsSpamalot "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Lindercles 0 #3 April 24, 2006 Haven't seen it, but I did hear Mike Nichols on Fresh Air a few months ago and it sounds like a pretty neat show. Might even be worth driving to Houston for. edit: I just noticed the website has it in Chicago during those times. Has something changed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broke 0 #5 April 24, 2006 Dude it is really fucking funny. If you are a fan of Monty Python. You will laugh your balls off. If you aren't a fan of Monty Python. You will still laugh your balls off. They ripped a little from the move, as well as ribbing musical theater. It is worth it. Buy your tickets as early as possible.Divot your source for all things Hillbilly.

sundevil777 102 #6 April 24, 2006 I hope it gets recorded and put on DVD some time in the future. Did anyone else see the special that was on recently about the making of the Holy Grail? That was really cool. Anyone else have a copy of the The album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail? I have the Executive Version! Among other things, it contains the story of the film so far... Doug and Bob are metropolitan policemen with a difference. Doug likes nothing more than slipping into little cocktail frocks, while Bob bouffants his hair for a night on duty. Still, as they aren't in this film, we won't give their last names. The *Real* Story of the Film So Far: Pucky Reginald Vas Deferens is a nuclear scientist in love with mafia boss Enrico Marx, who is himself married to Conchito Macbeth, a lively belly-dancer at the Belgian disco whose manager, Burly Ivan Crapp, has a naked daughter Janice engaged to J.J. Spinman, New York private detective, employed by the elegant Laura Herron to trace the missing million-pound bidet that Hitler gave to Eva Brown as a bar mitzvah present during a state visit to Crufts, and which remained hidden until a World Cup referee, Horse Jenkenson, was found hanged in a New Jersey tenement with the plans of a Russian secret weapon partially tatooed on his elbow. In Brisbon, the Brain brothers, Nicky and Vance, torture a Mayfair psychologist, who reveals to Dora Brain in a tender and emotional death scene that his hair is not his own. Meanwhile, the Kent Touring Eleven have trapped husky Matilda Tritt on a sticky near Hastings, and she reveals all before enforcing to follow on. Peter Niesewand and Cyril Garfunkel arrive just in time with the Welsh Police, and the Harry Orchestra, and proceed to sing a love song which allows Dr. Indira McNorton *just* enough time to cross the alps into Geneva, where he meets Kon Rapp, a kung fu fanatic and cat lover, who frivilously shoots him, but not before introducing him to lively intelligent Norweigan widow Lanny Krimt, who shows him her inner thighs, where he finds the address of a good French restaurant, and unexpectedly meets Gabriello Machismo, an ex-Korean plastic surgeon whose frankly blond assistant Sally Lesbitt is now the half-brother of a distant cousin of Ray Vorn Ding-ding-a-dong, the Eurovision song, and *owner* of the million-pound bidet given by Hitler to Eva Brown as a bar mitzvah present during a state visit to Crufts, and which remained hidden, etc. etc. etc. This they now do. Meanwhile, Harold and Victor Medway III discover a newfound love for each other in an flashback near Devon, where they meet up with Doug and Bob, the metropolitan policemen who suprisingly turn out to be in this film after all, who kill everyone, and live happily ever after.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broke 0 #13 April 24, 2006 Given the popularity of the show in NY I don't think it is that odd. If you buy tickets now in NY the wait for a show is about 6-9 months, unless you want to pay through the nose at a ticket broker.Divot your source for all things Hillbilly.

If you buy tickets now in NY the wait for a show is about 6-9 months, unless you want to pay through the nose at a ticket broker. Ya well I cannot purchase tickets anyways. They're all reserved for "season ticket" holders. IF I become a sponsoring member of the arts society (read: give them $500). Then I'm qualified to purchase tickets to 5 or 6 shows and I only want to see the one. BUT, I can get first choice for Spamalot when the tickets are sold. If not I get to wait till 6 weeks before the production starts and pray some tickets are left. Which I gravely doubt will happen. So it's either pay $500+cost of tickets or buy from a broker here in town... DAMN DAMN DAMN...
