Monty Python is great, and I have wanted to see this since I first heard about it.
You and me both, Jen. Was sorry I missed Spamalot (and Wicked) while I was recuperating in LA for 6 mos.
Heck, I went on a date once where we constantly were throwing lines from Holy Grail back and forth and laughing ourselves sick. Not sure anyone else in the bar was nearly as amused as we were...but we had fun. We drove our friends nuts whenever we were with them.
somehow Python humor always seems to come up in conversations...
No kidding...they often came up in our rehearsals for our Wildlife Theater shows and we'd go so off script we'd end up in a heap on the ground. Working with live animals (especially parrots) makes for great ad libbing...especially with our bunch. And you should have heard our "bring out your dead" scene when we discovered that the box turtle wasn't "sleeping"...he'd croaked between shows! Oh geez...I'm LOL right now...what memories.
We wrote a whole show based on a Buffett/Islands of Life Theme. I came out singing Volcano with my tailgate gear...it was a riot.

You ladies are truly rare gems! Must be your theatrical backgrounds. My wife may not be converted to a Pythonhead yet, but she loved Spamalot last night. I turned her on to Jimmy Buffett 15 years ago. Now Monty Python. What next?
If I can only get her to recognize the satiric creativity of South Park and the comedy genious that is theThree Stooges we'll truly be on the same wavelength.

Ahh, but if it were cleverly disguised and packaged as a (finger quotes) "Broadway Musical" that might work. West Side Stooges ..... The Sound of Nyuks.

Wow! I am SO eager to see Spamalot now! (and where were all you Python loving women in my dating days? Don't get me wrong .. I love my wife, but this is so nice to hear that SOME women are Pythonheads!)
My husband and I had 2 prerequisites when we met. 1. you had to be a Parrothead. 2. you had to be a Pythonhead.
My husband was leery of my claim about growing up on Python until our first date, when I started quoting Holy Grail. (We were at a local brew pub/farm house when a rabbit hopped across our path.)
I own more Python DVDs but my husband is better at the quotes and accent. And I'm the one who told him about Spamalot.

South Park can be somewhat intimidating, at times...
I LOVE South Park, KOTH, etc. I suppose that's why my husband and I get along so well. I understand the male sense of humor better than the female.
My kids laugh at me too, because my husband was traveling during football season. I was in the bedroom folding laundry and watching the game. They don't know too many mom's who watch sports by themselves.
I know a lot of you female Parrotheads are also sports fans.

Seriously?
I love the Stooges......they can always make me laugh.
I was in heaven when I found a bunch of Stooges DVDs at the dollar spot in Target.....the one in the restaurant where they are watching the chef chase the cat around with a knife.....funny....every time.
