Spamalittle
Last night, my wife and I saw Spamalot on Broadway. This show is based mainly on the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. As a Python fan, I was looking forward to seeing the show. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing.
Most of the good jokes from the movie seemed tired and the new material was largely uninspiring. The best new material was the song "The Song that Goes Like This" that was a good spoof of those sappy songs popular in Andrew Lloyd Webber Broadway shows. The whole gay Lancelot bit was a deviation from the original movie and I do not think it worked.
For a really funny musical, I highly recommend Avenue Q.
