Like the film, Spamalot is a highly irreverent and hilarious parody of the legend of King Arthur, his Knights of the Round Table, and his quest for the Holy Grail. The wacky show features The Lady of the Lake and Her Laker Girls, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Robin the Not-QuiteSo-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot, coconuts, cows, killer rabbits, and annoying French people. Songs include "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," "I Am Not Dead Yet," "The Song That Goes Like This," and the immortal "Fisch Schlapping Dance." One of the funniest shows you will ever see, this musical comedy raises silliness to an art form.
