Star names join Python on Broadway

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- David Hyde Pierce, Tim Curry and Hank Azaria were
named Wednesday as the leading trio for next year's Broadway-bound
production of Monty Python's "Spamalot."
"Spamalot," to be directed by Oscar and Tony Award winner Mike Nichols, is
billed as "the musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture, 'Monty
Python and the Holy Grail,"' the 1975 comedy directed by Terry Gilliam and
Terry Jones.
It tells the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and
their quest for the Holy Grail. A chorus line of dancing divas and knights,
flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits and one legless knight are featured.
Pierce, who was Dr. Niles Crane in the long-running U.S. sitcom "Frasier,"
will play Sir Robin. Curry, known for his star turn in the cult film, "The
Rocky Horror Picture Show," will play King Arthur. Azaria, best known as the
voice of Moe the bartender on the animated series "The Simpsons," will
portray Sir Lancelot.
The corresponding film roles were performed by Eric Idle, Graham Chapman and
John Cleese of the British comedy troupe.
Idle wrote the book for the new musical and collaborated on the music and
lyrics with John Du Prez, whose film scores include the "Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles" series and the hit, "A Fish Called Wanda."
The show is scheduled to have a world premiere engagement in Chicago,
Illinois, from December 21, 2004, to January 16, 2005, before beginning
Broadway previews on February 7.
