Brian is a big fan of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. For his birthday this year we took him to see Spamalot on stage at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford on Sept. 6, just a few days before his birthday. Several roommates and friends joined us, too. It was great fun!
Spamalot is a spoof not only on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but also on Broadway. One of my favorite lines was after King Arthur and Patsy brought a shrubbery to the Knights Who Say Ni, they were given a new task: to make a Broadway musical, but not an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical! I wrote about an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical on this blog earlier this year. Brian and I saw that musical in Milwaukee in 2000. That may have been the last musical Brian saw before Spamalot.
Spamalot was scheduled to run through Sunday, Sept. 7 at The Bushnell. Matinee and evening shows were scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday. We saw the matinee show on Saturday. That was a good thing. In the early hours of Sunday morning, Hurricane Hanna swept through southern New England. I found this on the web site for The Bushnell as I was writing this post: "Due to last evening's storm, which has left The Bushnell with little electricity, the matinee and evening performances of Monty Python's SPAMALOT for today, Sunday, September 7, have been cancelled."
