Spamalot, the musical, has announced the extension of its West End run by at least 3 months. The London show is now taking bookings until 3rd November 2007. Spamalot is playing at the Palace Theatre, London.

The hugely successful show is based on the Monty Python film - Monty Python and The Holy Grail which was written by comic legends: John Cleese, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. The stage show features a new score with music and lyrics by Eric Idle and John Du Prez. The stage show also includes three classic songs from the 1975 film.

Spamalot has had a fantastic reception in the West End with rave reviews from critics and theatre fans alike. The hilarious London show stars British actor, Tim Curry who gives an outstanding performance as King Arthur. Tim Curry just picked up the Whatsonstage Theatregoer’s Choice Award for Best Actor in a Musical. Tim’s co-star, Tom-Goodman Hill, picked up the award for Best Supporting Actor for his performances as Sir Lancelot.

Long live Spamalot and hurrah for King Arthur and Sir Lancelot!

The other day Melvin Bragg’s Southbank Show had all the surviving members of Monty Python giving a really interesting behind the scenes look into what it took to get Spamalot off the ground.

In the old world of TV when there were only 4 terrestrial channels this information would only add to the frustration that you missed it. Ahh but fear not you can nip over to ITV.com and grab your self a free copy to watch again.

However, if you are just too lazy to grab your own copy just sit back and relax in front of this 9 minute preview from Youtube.

If that has whet your appetite book up to see the live show in London
