Eric Idle made a musical out of Holy Grail...

..Called Spamalot. The website is at Spamalot (http://www.montypythonsspamalot.com/).
Here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/3875889.stm) is a BBC article. Also The New Yorker critics essay (http://newyorker.com/printable/?critics/041220crat_atlarge).

Holy Grail was great, not my favourite Python movie, but great nevertheless. Somehow I don't think this could get anywhere close to that. But a must-see this is anyway.

What do you (yes, you who are reading this) think?

Funny you should ask, I was watching Holy Grail again this afternoon. My 10 year old son loves it (killer rabbit, black knight etc.). My friends and I were into Monty Python as teenagers in the late 70's.
The New Yorker article was very good. It helped address the obvious issue of whether the rest of the Monty Python team is involved and/or supportive. I'd look forward to it, I hope it goes over well.

I wonder why Broadway and not West End?

I like the name "Spamalot". ah, the fascinating history of the word spam and its meanings. I watched the Flying Circus:Spam episode for the n:th time some days ago, and I haven't been able to check my workplace's email with straight face since that..

I just watched a movie with my kid sister that she had rented "Ella Enchanted" (I was bored!)and was surprised to see Eric Idle narrating it.
