“Spamalot” is brilliant, hilariously British comedy. The writers, cast, choreographer and orchestra infuse parts of “Monty Python” within the show for die-hard fans, but the references aren’t so obscure that people who have never seen the British show won’t enjoy themselves just as much.

“Spamalot” should be applauded for taking a musical that was featured in Las Vegas – with the same lead – and for making audiences roll with laughter during the entire duration of the play.

The lead, John O’Hurley, is absolutely brilliant, and the Lady of the Lake, played by Merle Dandridge, is fabulous. The entire cast gives its all, and “Spamalot” is definitely worth watching for “Monty Python” fans and newbies alike.
