Spamalot returns to Milton Keynes Theatre from Monday (June 15) and it's a show that doesn't come without warning - 'Be aware that during the show's West End run, there were 21 onstage moustache incidents, three suspected cases of swine flu, three outbreaks of nits and 92 pairs of coconuts used.'
Ooh, eck. Nit-picking might be prevalent then!
Written by the pen of Eric Idle and ripped off from classic comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this is a show to make you smile. Broadly.
It comes with a bevy of beautiful show girls, killer rabbits, plague carts, fish slapping Fins and flying cows. The planned witch-burnings are off though - a health and safety executibe thought this would be one heated exchange too far.
Still it will be a grand night out, nonetheless.
"Spamalot is fun," promises Eric Idle, "The new production is funnier, it's more like a Python show.
"There are some new costumes and new sets and a new director, Christopher Luscombe, so it's just got a whole different spirit to it."
Joe Pasquale makes his MK Theatre return as King Arthur, and playing his manservant Patsy is a chip off the old block - Joe's son, Joe. Nope, that's not a typo. They share the same name.
Sarah Earnshaw is The Lady of the Lake.
Spamalot continues at the venue to Saturday, June 20, at 7.30pm nightly, with additional afternoon matinees on Wednesday and Saturday.
Tickets start at £10.50 and rise to a top price of £36.50.
