SPAMALOT TOUR
Very loosely based on the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot tells the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest to find the fabled relic. It features a chorus line of dancing divas (with serfs), flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits and a legless knight.
The West End production ran at the Palace Theatre for three years from September 2006 to January 2009 with a succession of King Arthurs, including Tim Curry, Simon Russell Beale and Peter Davison.

The role of Lady of the Lake is being shared by Jodie Prenger, Hayley Tamaddon and Amy Nuttall. The table below indicates which actress is appearing at each venue.
Comedian Marcus Brigstocke is making his musical theatre debut playing King Arthur in Spamalot and is staying with the show until it leaves York Grand Opera House on 27th November.
Due to prior commitments he will not be appearing in the show when it visits Aberdeen, Cardiff, Sheffield and Torquay when King Arthur will be played by James Gaddas who is probably best known for playing Governer Neil Grayling in ITV's Bad Girls and recently has been appearing in Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre playing the role of Jackie Elliot.
Marcus will finally be handing over his crown to actor, presenter and comedian Matthew Kelly who is joining the show for a limited season when it visits Milton Keynes Theatre from November 29th - December 4th 2010 and the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham from 7th December 1st January 2011.
Todd Carty is playing Patsy who is King Arthur’s hapless assistant who sings "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" and follows the King everywhere. He is half Jewish which he doesn’t mention at first because "it's just not the kind of thing you say to a heavily armed Christian"
Joining Jodie, Hayley, Amy, Marcus and Todd will be Simon Lipkin (Sir Galahad), Graham MacDuff (Sir Lancelot), David Lang ham (Prince Herbert), Samuel Holmes (Sir Robin) and Robin Armstrong as Sir Bedcover. Other cast members include Kit Orton, Philip Catchpole, Amy Papa, Rachel Knowles,Tim Bonser and Paul Bulling.
