Monty Python's Spamalot

Book, music and lyrics by Eric Idle & John Du Prez
Directed by Ruby Kemp
Music directed Michael Stebbings

This production marked our third musical in a row to be based on a beloved film, as we took on the stage adaptation of Monty Python's extremely silly medieval epic. With roles such as Patsy and Bedevere cast with female actors, we also kept up the proud Footlights tradition of cross-gender casting.
