The Tony Award-winning Best Musical of 2005, Monty Python’s Spamalot, will return to the fair city of Washington, D.C., for a final one-week only engagement April 10 through 14 at The National Theatre. Tickets, starting at $50 (plus applicable fee and service charges), are on sale now at The National Theatre box office, through Ticketmaster.com, and via phone at (800) 745-3000. Box office hours are Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For information, call (202) 628-6161 or visit nationaltheatre.org. Lovingly “ripped-off” from the internationally famous comedy team’s most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s Spamalot is the winner of three 2005 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director (Mike Nichols), as well as the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical. Washington’s sordid love affair with Monty Python’s Spamalot began in 2006, when the First National Tour played to sell-out crowds at The National Theatre, breaking the existing box office record. The show returned to the nation’s capital twice more, earning rave reviews and legions of fans. Now after seven years, Monty Python’s Spamalot comes full circle, back to the theater where it all began for D.C.
