| Theatre News: |
| Spamalot is a runaway hit, so it is probably a little futile and indeed a little churlish to point out that it is not a great musical: the pastiche-ridden songs, by Eric Idle and John du Prez, rarely transcend spoof and the book - written by Idle and loosely based on the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail - has only the whisper of a proper plot: King Arthur and his knights search for the ultimate prize.
Spamalot is, however, a great comedy, a culmination, 30 years on, of the Beyond the Fringe and Python traditions of supreme silliness. It has taken an American director besotted with things British - Mike Nichols - to pour this Cambridge-revue brew through the sieve of show-biz spoofery and produce such a festive, fizzy concoction. Spamalot joyously embraces its hybrid form, confounding Python purists who argue that the show relies too much on Vegas vamps and Forbidden Broadway send-ups. In spite of Nichols' genius for paring away excess and preventing his actors from wholesale muggery, and in spite of Idle's ability to preserve the original's sense of anarchy, this breezy evening would never achieve lift-off without Tim Hatley's sleek, castle-and-forest-ridden set or its sublime cast. Tim Curry's Arthur is a suitably jolly anchor for the proceedings; Hank Azaria gives Casey Nicholaw's choreography a fast going-through in the coming-out number, "His Name is Lancelot"; and Sara Ramirez, as the diva-ish Lady of the Lake, will clean up at awards season. Yet it is David Hyde Pierce, as Sir Robin, who most devoutly embodies the spirit of the piece. Nichols has encouraged him to lose many of the the smug sitcom habits acquired on Frasier, and revel in subtlety. Hyde Pierce's underplaying is the brilliant set-up for his - the evening's - showstopper, "You Won't Succeed on Broadway (If You Don't Have Any Jews)", which is the funniest number to hit New York since "Springtime for Hitler" in The Producers four years ago. |
