Do you like to look on the bright side of life? If so, you should see St Albans Secondary College’s production of Monty Python’s Spamalot.
Spamalot takes the classic story of King Arthur and his knights and turns it on its head. The quest for the grail is a series of hilariously chaotic events which highlight the absurdity of epic journeys.
St Albans Secondary College musical appreciation club director Melissa Tamraz said students have poured their hearts into rehearsals for the show.
“They are bravely uncovering their comedic talents, igniting their inner joy, and unlocking hidden dance abilities they never knew they possessed,” Ms Tamaraz said.
She said the production is sure to make people of all ages laugh.
“Inspired by Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is full of funny one-liners, silly situations, and hilarious parody,” Ms Tamraz said.
“The show pokes fun at musical theatre, with exaggerated songs, sparkling costumes, and even knights dancing tap. It makes fun of the genre in a loving way, while also showing what makes it special.
“Beneath all the silly moments, the show is really about friendship, never giving up, and following your dreams, your own ‘holy grail.’ It’s funny, but also warm and full of heart.”
Just beware of any killer rabbits.
Monty Python’s Spamalot, performed by St Albans Secondary College, will be showing at the Bowery Theatre from Wednesday, August 20 to Friday, August 22 at 7pm each evening.
Tickets are $15 for adults and children. Family tickets are $55.
