| FIVE WEEKS LEFT TO SEE THE TONY AWARD-WINNING BEST MUSICAL COMEDY MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT A MUSICAL LOVINGLY RIPPED OFF FROM THE MOTION PICTURE MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL FROM THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY BY GRAHAM CHAPMAN, JOHN CLEESE, TERRY GILLIAM, ERIC IDLE, TERRY JONES, MICHAEL PALIN LIMITED ENGAGEMENT CONCLUDES SUNDAY, APRIL 7, 2024 NATIONAL TOUR TO LAUNCH SEPTEMBER 2025 At Broadway's St. James Theatre Book & Lyrics by ERIC IDLE Music by JOHN DU PREZ & ERIC IDLE Direction & Choreography by JOSH RHODES CRITIC'S PICK! "BELOVED SILLINESS. A BLISSFUL BROADWAY REVIVAL!" – Jesse Green, New York Times "PURE GLEE! DELIRIOUSLY FUNNY! Who could resist the impulse to bask in a couple of hours of deliriously funny escapism at a time when the world seems to be getting grimmer by the day." – Charles Isherwood, The Wall Street Journal "Spamalot is THE FUNNIEST MUSICAL ON BROADWAY, funnier than ever. It's unfair to make me laugh this much. Gloriously hilarious, the jokes crackle, and the production numbers sparkle. This two-hour strut-upon-the-stage has been restored to absurdly entertaining life from the annals of ridiculousness to bring joy to a land desperately short of guffaws and chuckles and snickers and giggles." – Peter Marks, Washington Post "A hilarious funfest filled with true Broadway RAZZLE DAZZLE." – Christian Holub, Entertainment Weekly "Perfectly cast and splendidly performed! The Middle Ages haven't been this funny since, well the last time SPAMALOT opened on Broadway!" – Greg Evans, Deadline "WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS MORE SPAMALOT! As in the best comedy of this sort, outrageous humor becomes both a tonic and a salve, even a means of catharsis – and SPAMALOT ensures that you laugh your cares away." – Elysa Gardner, New York Sun New York, NY (March 5, 2024) – The Tony Award-winning Best Musical Comedy Monty Python's SPAMALOT will conclude its limited engagement on Sunday, April 7, 2024.

"I am so proud of the entire cast, creative team, musicians and crew for their hard work and for delivering the highest level of joy and laughter back on Broadway when we need this more than ever," said producer Jeffrey Finn.
