RATED PG13 | Mature and Risqué Content (May not be appropriate for younger audiences. Please read reviews below.)

The Branson Regional Arts Council presents a comedy musical, lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Monty Python’s Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people.

The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “[fac_icon icon=”music”] always look on the bright side of life.

Public performances at the Historic Owen Theatre run July 27 – August 6, 2023 with 7pm showtimes on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (no matinee).

– Ticket prices are $20.00 (Adults 18+) and $12.00 (under 18)

REVIEW: Monty Python’s Spamalot bears the warning “irreverent adult content”. Here’s the good news: the irreverence is based on equality: the ridicule reaches out to all people and institutions on an equal basis, so no one can take particular offense. The show makes fun of Royals, the English, the Finns, the French, Gays and Jews, and yes; there is a poke at Christians, too. It takes shots at ancient legends, traditions, religion, Las Vegas and Broadway. There is no respect shown for anything or anyone, and I have never heard so much laughter in a theatre!

The musical is under the direction of Jacob Estes, who has directed many BRAC productions including Something Rotten!, The Marvelous Wonderettes, A Christmas Carol – The Musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Legally Blonde – The Musical and many others.

REVIEW: If you’re a fan of Monty Python you will definitely want to see Spamalot. If you want to share your enjoyment of Monty Python with your kids, well – if they’re younger than 13 you may want to start somewhere else. There is some risqué content that isn’t appropriate for younger audiences.
