‘Spamalot’ Opens at Beck Center for the Arts

Some of that classic Monty Python humor and style is now on full display at Beck Center for the Arts.

And this one’s got music.

Spamalot, a new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” is showing on the Mackey Main State from July 12 through Aug. 18. 

From the original screenplay — by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin — Spamalot tells the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on their quest for the Holy Grail.

“It is every Monty Python fan's dream to be able to direct this show,” said director Scott Spence in a press release. “And makes all of those years watching Monty Python every Friday night on PBS so worthwhile.”

With musical direction by Larry Goodpaster and choreography byMartín Céspedes, the talented cast of 20, including Equity actors Dougfred Miller as King Arthur and Jessica Cope Miller as Lady of the Lake, will keep the laughs rolling in this shameless parade of puns and slapstick. 

Tickets are on sale for $28 for adults, $25 for seniors (65 and older), $12 for students (with valid I.D.), and $10 for children (12 and under).

An additional $3 service fee per ticket is applied at the time of purchase. Group discounts (13 or more) are available. Purchase tickets online at beckcenter.org or call Customer Services at 216.521.2540, ext. 10.
