Lovingly "ripped-off" from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail. According to production materials, it features "a chorus line of legless knights, men in tights with legs, killer rabbits and sexy dancing divas." Spamalot features a book by Eric Idle based on the screenplay of Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Monty Python creators Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin and music and lyrics by Eric Idle and John Du Prez. The show won 2005 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Director for Mike Nichols and Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Sara Ramirez.

The national tour of Spamalot is set to play its first performance in Boston on March 7 at the Colonial Theatre. Other cities confirmed for the tour currently include Chicago, Washington D.C., Pittsburgh and Atlanta.
