Synopsis
Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table and features a bevy (or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, witch burnings, and not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.
Running at the Playhouse Theatre, the show features the hilarious songs "He is Not Dead Yet", "Knights of the Round Table", "Find Your Grail" and, of course, the Nation's Favourite Comedy Song, as voted for by Reader's Digest in 2009, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".
Starring Anna-Jane Casey, Stephen Tompkinson and Todd Carty, buy tickets now for this hilarious musical.
