Described by John Cleese as 'the silliest thing I have ever seen', Spamalot, based loosely on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, had the last laugh scooping three Tony awards, including Best Musical.

It rewrites the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table but diverts from more traditional versions of the legend, featuring all kinds of shenanigans including dancing girls, fish slapping, flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits, shrubberies and coconut shells.

It features some magical tunes including He is Not Dead Yet, The Song That Goes Like This, Knights of the Round Table, Find Your Grail and, of course, the nation's favourite comedy song, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

It is now being staged at Norwich Playhouse from May 30-June 3 by the Threshold Theatre Company, the multi-award winning Norfolk musical theatre group.
