As gleefully silly yet wickedly smart as the beloved British comedy troupe and their 1975 cinematic savaging of the Arthurian legend that inspired it, this adaptation of Monty Python and the Holy Grail by MP's Eric Idle and longtime musical co-conspirator John Du Prez has much more on its feverish agenda than merely trashing King Arthur and firmly upending his Round Table. The film's plot remains largely intact, but its core songs ("Knights of the Round Table," "Brave Sir Robin") and comic thrust have been both expanded and satirically redirected, a musical comedy shotgun that takes dizzy aim at pop culture in general, and Broadway in particular. After typically Pythonesque distractions that somehow find us in "Finland..," stars David Hyde-Pierce, Tim Curry, Hank Azaria and company get busy conjuring the Lady of the Lake with the unlikely help of "Laker Girls..," while cast members Sara Ramirez and Christopher Sieber deliciously skewer contemporary Broadway cliches via the loopy showstopper "The Song That Goes Like This," a tune whose reprise also deliciously sends up every overwrought stage diva from Merman to Minelli. Idle has shrewdly ripped off--well, interpolated--Life of Brian's "Always Look On the Bright Side" for the new show, and even a snatch of "The Lumberjack Song" in "He Is Not Dead Yet." "You Won't Succeed on Broadway" reveals the frankly Semitic secret to stage success, and the French get can-canned on "Run Away!" Meanwhile, our bravest knight is de-closeted on the Manilow-mauling "His Name is Lancelot" before the familiar sound of clomping coconut shells brings down the curtain on the season's goofiest if satirically dead-on comic delight. --Jerry McCulley Have Fun with More Irreverent Musicals

 Written on December 30, 2007 Summary: Enjoyed It was a gift, and the person I gave it to enjoyed it. Written on November 1, 2007 Summary: I wish it were the whole soundtrack I enjoy musicals and this one was fun when we saw it in Denver. This CD captures all the songs nicely. I always wished CDs were available with the whole show's soundtrack and not just the songs. Written on October 24, 2007 Summary: Just too funny! I went to the touring production of Spamalot at a difficult time in my life and it made me laugh hysterically for 2 solid hours. The CD does the same thing. The songs are a mix of familiar Monty Python tunes and new catchy songs that you will find yourself humming and smiling over. "The song that goes like this" and others are extremely witty, as you would expect from Eric Idle, and the "Lady of the Lake and her Laker Girls" can't help but make you laugh. Even if you haven't seen Spamalot on stage this CD is a must-have to brighten your day. Written on October 17, 2007 Summary: This one is worth the price of the CD Often I write: "You have to see the show to enjoy the CD" but this CD is one of a few Broadway soundtracks that even if you are remotely familiar with Monte Python, you will enjoy no matter what. Classic stuff gleaned from the troupe's "Holy Grail," "Spamalot" is a winner! This CD is really really funny with catchy tunes that you will hum along to again and again... "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!" Written on September 27, 2007 Summary: More Spam Please Spamalot was hilarious when I saw it in London and again in Portland, OR. This soundtrack has everything from marching band to Gregorian chant to gospel to lounge lizard. These performers do a great job doing a parody of every style while still representing the style pretty accurately. They are quite talented. If you like musicals or if you hate musicals, this is one to listen to again and again. |
