THEATER

 

RTC PRESENTS MONTY

PYTHON’S “SPAMALOT”

Opening tomorrow—FRIDAY, March 28!

Hilariously ripped off from the classic film comedy, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” Monty Python’s “Spamalot,” retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people. All singing, all dancing, all laughing and completely absurd—this thrice-winning Tony award winner follows King Arthur, his knights and the Lady of the Lake as they search for the Holy Grail! “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” as “Spamalot” opens a brand-new surprising season for the Rockaway Theatre Company! Show dates: March 28, 29, 30 and April 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13. Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. (with the exception of Sunday, April 13 matinee), plus, special extra 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, April 12.
