Spamalot (also known as Monty Python's Spamalot: A Musical (Lovingly) Ripped Off from the Motion Picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail) premiered at the Shubert Theatre (now the CIBC Theatre) in Chicago on December 21, 2004. The original Broadway production ran for 1,575 performances, was seen by more than two million people, and grossed over $175 million. Tim Curry starred as King Arthur in both the original Broadway and West End productions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamalot). The Broadway revival closed after 164 regular and 17 preview performances (https://www.playbill.com/production/spamalot-broadway-st-james-theatre-2023).
Synopsis from Playbill.com: "Lovingly ripped from the film classic, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot has everything that makes a great knight at the theatre, from flying cows to killer rabbits, British royalty to French taunters, dancing girls, rubbery shrubbery, and of course, the lady of the lake."
