Dark Age Of Camelot: Holy Grail on Broadway in trouble already
|
Just picked this up off the wire:
Eric Idle's stage version of Monty Python movie The Holy Grail has hit a major snag - a fellow Broadway, New York-bound production has asked him to change the musical's title.
The comic has been contacted by a "disappointed" attorney representing a forthcoming stage version of Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner's classic Camelot, urging the Brit to axe the proposed title for his show, Spamalot - a word Idle lifted from a Monty Python song.
Production chiefs for Camelot are concerned the theater-going public will be confused by the similarity of the titles.
You can check out the rest of the story here. The upside of all of this is that Camelot is going to be on broadway in the same season as the Monty Python musical. It'll be a feast of stage goodness for those of us Camelot fans.
