Monty Python’s Spamalot
Sunday, March 3, at 7:30 p.m.
If the Dark Ages were this lively, medieval fairs would be more popular than state fairs. Fortunately, we have Monty Python’s Spamalot, a musical based on cult classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the 1975 movie by Britain’s most infamous comedy troupe. King Arthur and his noble knights encounter killer rabbits, chorus lines, flatulent warriors and more utter nonsense as they ride on a slapstick quest for the Holy Grail. The touring production is presented at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, March 3, at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center, 701 S. Main St., Broken Arrow. Tickets are $20-$60 and can be purchased at www.thepacba.com.
