A seasonal treat and fantastic savings with Spamalot at Theatre Royal Brighton
The international smash hit musical comedy Spamalot gallops into Theatre Royal Brighton from Thursday 15 December 2011 to Saturday 14 January 2012. If you are looking for a feel-good family outing this Christmas, then look no further. Spamalot is harmlessly funny, very silly and has dancing, audience participation and great songs. It is truly a pantomime for all seasons. ‘Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life’, voted the nation’s favourite song, is guaranteed to have children (aged 8+), parents, teenagers and grandparents singing along.
Written by original Python Eric Idle and John Du Prez, Spamalot is based on the story of King Arthur and his Knights – think Horrible Histories crossed with Merlin. The cast includes Marcus Brigstocke (CBBC’s Sorry I’ve Got No Head, BBC’s Have I Got News For You, QI etc) who plays King Arthur; Todd Carty (Tucker in Grange Hill and Tucker’s Luck, Mark in EastEnders) who plays his hapless sidekick Patsy, and Jodie Prenger (Winner of BBC’s I’d Do Anything, playing Nancy in the West End’s Oliver!) plays Lady of the Lake. All three won rave reviews when the show visited Brighton last year.
Making a trip to Spamalot even more affordable, the new ATG Theatre Card (annual fee £30) offers theatregoers a range of benefits, including a reduction of £5 per ticket on price bands A & B for all off-peak matinee performances of Spamalot (up to four tickets).
