Mem to self: see Spamalot early

[marypcbuk]

According to the BBC, Tim Curry will play King Arthur for the first few months of Spamalot at the Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue (2nd October till January), then Simon Russell Beale, who is currently playing King Arthur in the New York production, will take over. I love the sound of the press conference: I've been to events with spam sandwiches (security at Bletchely) and dancers (Teched Amsterdam) but never one with both at once. Spamalot is going to Vegas too: Eric Idle will design the Spamalot Experience and Grail Theatre and while the version at the Wynn Las Vegas will be shorter it will play 12 times a week for 10 years (6,240 performances).
