"With an exceptional cast that makes every joke land, fun and colorful creative elements, and crisp direction, Arizona Broadway Theatre's production of the 2005 Tony-winning Best Musical Spamalot is one of the funniest and best shows I've seen at the Peoria dinner theatre....Monty Python and The Holy Grail is a very funny movie and Spamalot is one of the funniest Broadway musicals of the last twenty years. With a cast and direction perfectly letting the satire of the show run rampant, ABT's production of Spamalot is an evening of silly moments, lowbrow humor, hijinks, zany humor, and a whole lot of fun." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)

"ABT's lively, colorful, energetic production of SPAMALOT, directed by Danny Gorman, while streamlined somewhat from the original production, remains undeniably great fun....the ensemble remains large, headed by the excellent Steve McCoy as the often-bewildered King Arthur....Christopher G. Patterson's choreography, like the script's throw-away groaners and quick one-liners, works because of the ensemble's sharp timing throughout...In truth, MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT is not classic musical theatre and is neither expected nor designed to be, yet it is two hours of solid, musical fun and intentional silliness performed by an energetic ensemble of players..."  David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
