Spamalot at the Kennedy Center is what we all need this season.
The Arthurian Legend Returns to Washington
If you hear the rhythmic clacking of coconut shells echoing down the Potomac, do not panic. It simply means the Knights of the Round Table have ridden their imaginary horses back to the Kennedy Center. This Tony Award-winning musical is currently lighting up the Eisenhower Theater, bringing killer rabbits and French taunters along for the ride, offering a whimsical world where a flesh wound is nothing to worry about, even if a knight has lost an arm or two in battle!
A Star-Studded Cast Leads the Quest
The production quality is straight from Broadway, featuring a powerhouse lineup that truly shines on stage. Major Attaway, globally recognized for his magical turn as The Genie in Aladdin, takes the crown as King Arthur. He is joined by the hilarious Blake Segal and the enchanting Amanda Robles as The Lady of the Lake. Classics like “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” and “Find Your Grail” are performed with an infectious energy that captivates the audience from the very first note. Spamalot does a fantastic job of satirizing the very genre it celebrates, ensuring that even those who are not die-hard theater fans will be grinning from ear to ear throughout the performance!
This limited engagement runs through the holiday season, making it a fantastic outing for friends and family members aged 12 and up. With a runtime that flies by faster than an unladen swallow, you do not want to miss your chance to see the “Best Musical” winner in all its glory. Grab your tickets for Spamalot immediately because a show this hysterical is bound to sell out fast.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. 2700 F St NW, Washington, DC 20566. $49.00 – $199.00.
