'Spamalot' in Vegas Celebrates One Year Anniversary

This week Monty Python's Spamalot at Wynn Las Vegas celebrates its one-year anniversary at the resort. 
 
For the past year, the award-winning Monty Python's Spamalot has brought the bright side of life to the Las Vegas Strip. Starring John O'Hurley and performed in The Grail Theater, Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest for the Holy Grail. Spamalot features silly songs, dancing divas, knights in tights, feisty Frenchmen and a happy ending!
 
Spamalot features a book and lyrics by Eric Idle, music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, direction by Mike Nichols, and choreography by Casey Nicholaw. The show is based on a screenplay by Monty Python creators Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. It is lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
 
O'Hurley, who is best known as J. Peterman on Seinfeld, was the ultimate champion on season one of Dancing with the Stars and is the new host of Family Feud. O'Hurley, who has worked on stage throughout his career, starred on Broadway in Chicago as Billy Flynn. He has also written two books, It's Okay to Miss the Bed on the First Jump, and Other Life Lessons I've Learned from Dogs, and Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It: Life Lessons from a Wise Old Dog to a Young Boy.
 
Spamalot has been honored with numerous awards, including the Grammy Award for Best Original Cast Recording and three Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The production has been lauded by audiences and critics around the world.
 
Monty Python isn't a person, but a group of British actors and writers (and one American) that performed their famous comedy show Monty Python's Flying Circus on BBC television from 1969 to 1974, with subsequent fame and success. Changing comedy forever, a series of hugely popular motion pictures and live tours made Monty Python and their members into international superstars. Ticket prices are $69, $89 and $109, plus tax. Tickets for the V.I.P.P. (Very Important Person Package) are also available for $179, plus tax, and include premier seating, souvenir grail cups with beverage and a 45-minute backstage tour.
