If you've been reading this for a while, you know that I got to see Spamalot, the Monty Python musical "lovingly ripped off" from the Monty Python and the Holy Grail cult film classic, when it was in tryouts in Chicago. Good thing, too, because I couldn't afford to see it in New York. Several Putman editors were at Interphex, and found that tickets were going from $300 to $1100 and that was LIST. Scalpers were getting more. Of course, the $1100 tickets are for two seats in the front row that...(well, I can't tell you, now can I?). Spamalot received 14 Tony nominations, which is the second largest haul since 1947. If you can afford to see it, see it.
