Spamalot at The Kennedy Center

Spamalot

The Kennedy Center
2700 F Street, NW Washington

Everything that makes a great knight in the theater is here, from flying cows to killer rabbits, British royalty to French taunters, dancing girls, rubbery shrubbery-and of course, the Lady of the Lake. Spamalot features well-known songs such as "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," "The Song That Goes Like This," "Find Your Grail," and more that have become beloved classics in the musical theater canon.

"...Musical comedies, like bananas, can go bad. But time has been kind to Python's mix of high- and lowbrow humor. The antics are of a variety that deconstructs the irrationality of king-making in one moment ("We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune," declares a peasant played by Walker) and sends up bodily functions in the next ("I fart in your general direction!" Brightman shouts in an outrageously snooty French accent)."

"...It feels weird to write this in a review context, but...it does kind of go without saying. It's perfectly in line with expectations that Kennedy Center's Broadway Center Stage: Monty Python's Spamalot has wonderful music, fantastic costumes, splendid acting and singing, stunning choreography and direction, and gorgeous sets, sound, projections, and lighting. Everything is of the caliber one would expect from the kind of team they assembled for this production."

"...Once again, the Kennedy Center's Broadway Center Stage series is raising the quality of its productions beyond the program's original aim–semi-staged performances of musicals with talented visiting performers, using scripts if needed–with a riotous production of Monty Python's Spamalot. It's a must-see, but it runs only through May 21, so get tickets now."

"...At its heart, "Spamalot" is about having a positive outlook no matter how difficult things might be (Monty Python's signature song, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life") and even more important, being true to who you are and following your dream ("Find Your Grail")-all cloaked in wonderful silliness."

"...Retelling the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table (with gratuitously scantily clad showgirls, cows, killer rabbits, and a villainous French mime) Monty Python's Spamalot, features music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, book and lyrics by Idle, scenic and projection design by Paul Tate dePoo III, costume design by Jen Caprio, lighting design by Cory Pattak, sound design by Haley Parcher, and wig design by Tom Watson. The glitzy, silly production is directed and choreographed by Josh Rhodes, with musical direction by John Bell."
