Three of today’s most celebrated and popular stars of stage and screen will lead the musical quest for the elusive Holy Grail.

Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and their quest for the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s SPAMALOT features a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits and one legless knight who create unforgettable musical production numbers that Eric Idle promises will be “as good as or quite likely better than any other show with killer rabbits and a legless knight opening on Broadway or in Chicago this season.”

Reg : All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Attendee: Brought peace?
Reg : Oh, peace - shut up!
No it didn't!
"Bring out yer dead!"
"I'm not dead yet....I feel HAPPY! (whack!)
Now go away, before I taunt you a second time....
"I'm not dead yet." (now that is a great line, useful in so many situations). They were the best at their peak. Their comedy was like art.
I got better...
I think my all-time favorite was when that women's club re-enacted great battle scenes in a mud pool. I am still laughing!
