Everyone loves the story of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table; and even more so when it’s “lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” That’s why the current tour of Monty Python’s Spamalot is one of the biggest hits to come to American theaters in a long time. And it might be coming to one near you!

The theater show, which depicts King Arthur and his knights, as well as the honor and loyalty that was the backbone of the Round Table, brings hilarity every step of the way. While the story itself is always a fun one to revisit, Monty Python’s take on it always delivers, and this includes a brilliant cast — not to mention some cows and killer rabbits along the way, as well.

Arthur Rowan and Abigail Raye return to their roles as King Arthur and Lady of the Lake, respectively; and Glenn Giron will also be resuming his role as Patsy, after being on hiatus for a year. Adam Grabau takes on many faces during the play including that of Sir Lancelot, The French Taunter, King Ni, and Tim the Enchanter. Kasidy Devlin will also be back to take up the roles of both Sir Robin and Brother Maynard.

The musical brings an entirely new score created by Eric Idle and John Du Prez; and the book was written by Eric Idle. The show is currently in Raleigh, North Carolina for the next week before heading off to Texas, New Mexico, and Illinois. You can find a full listing of shows here, and then get your tickets to one closest to you. This is one that you can’t miss!
