Spam a lot! I went to see it a few days ago. I enjoyed it, but if you're a huge Monty Python fan, you won't be surprised. I laughed three or four times, because I knew a lot of the routines and songs well enough that I could have been on stage doing them. I bet many of you could too!
The original work was derivative, but enjoyable. Eric Idle wrote the book and lyrics, and had a hand writing the music.
It followed the basic plot of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" until near the end when it just went a bit nuts.
Frankly, my hopes were raised by reading the playbill (honest). Before getting into the genuine playbill, they had three pages of a rather different play. I've copied the sheets below, but you need to click on them to enlarge them and really enjoy it.
Now I think I have to sit down and watch Fawlty Towers.

I am also a big Python fan. Love the dead parrot skit and the Lumberjack song, just to name a few.
