I think it's hilarious that, given Python casting, the actors playing Sir Robin and Lancelot first show up as the two guards interested in coconuts, which means you get grand applause for David Hyde Pierce (or Michael Urie currently) and Hank Azaria (or Alex Brightman at the Kennedy Center and Taran Killam currently) popping their heads out in a role they play for all of two minutes. Which is probably incredibly confusing for people who aren't familiar with these actors.
My parents and I saw this on Broadway back in 2006. Different cast, but we still loved it, and it’s by far the funniest musical ever! Also, I remember during intermission, you could hear sounds of cows mooing
I wish I saw the original Broadway cast. I saw the Toronto production and it was phenomenal, but i would have loved to hear Sara Ramirez as Lady of the Lake. However, my cast did something in 2006 when i saw it a few weeks after the World Cup where Zinedine Zidane headbutted the Italian player and getting a red card out of it: - When King Arthur and the knights meet up with the Frenchman who farts in their general direction, they added the line "Run away now, or we will head butt you in ze chest!" The entire theater erupted in laughter and applause and the actors had to wait a bit to compose ourselves. I wonder if the other Spamalot casts added that line, if it was a revision from Eric idle or if it was just a Toronto thing...
1:17:50 You're marrying Princess Lucky [Dearly, the dalmatian puppy] If I were to stage this production: "You're marrying Princess Cadpig" "You're marrying Princess Two-Tone" "You're marrying Princess Dolly Dalmatian"
