Corn Stock Theatre for Kids - Spamalot School Editionwed23sep7:30 pm

Event Details

Tickets are $17 for adults and $13 for kids 12 and under and go on sale on September 2 and will be available at the Corn Stock Theatre box office, by calling 309-676-2196 or online at www.CornStockTheatre.com

Monty Python's Spamalot, lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, 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... Oh, and did we mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls? Bursting with unforgettable songs, absurd humor, and zany characters, this musical is a rollicking celebration of all things Monty Python. The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and its success continued with two West End runs and a recent Broadway revival. With its laugh-out-loud moments and unforgettable anthem “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” Monty Python's Spamalot is a gloriously entertaining journey that will leave audiences in stitches from start to finish.
