The Tony Award winning touring production of Monty Python’s Spamalot is kicking off its national tour January 11th at Richmond’s CenterStage. With the play authored by Monty Python’s own Eric Idle, this adaptation of The Holy Grail is a show that appears to be nothing short of a spectacle. The play includes various moments that re-enact infamous scenes from the classic 70’s Monty Python production, including killer rabbits and the Knights of Ni.
Production Supervisor Jinay Lena, on her second tour with Spamalot, said the show continues to make her laugh. “I actually laugh at different things every night… It’s always funny no matter how long you’ve been working on it. Depending on the night, the energy from the audience, and people experimenting with line delivery, there are different things that just tickle me.”
Lena went on to say CenterStage is the perfect venue for Spamalot; it’s unique front house architecture “totally matches the style of our show.”
