Folsom’s Sutter Street Theatre is bringing a well-known cult comedy to its stage with Spamalot riding onto the Historic Folsom stage starting this Saturday evening.
The new show is being fully directed by Sutter Street Theatre’s own Connie Mockenhaupt. Mockenhaupt not only is the play’s direction but is also in charge of vocal direction and choreography of the play that is expected to bring non-stop laughs through August 13.
According to the playbill, the stage verison of Spamalot is, “lovingly ripped off,” from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people. Did we mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls? The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs.
With such classic songs as “He Is Not Dead Yet”, “The Song That Goes Like This”, “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” and the ever popular “Fisch Schlapping Song”, the outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight you as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”
Following its opening on Saturday, Spamalot will take the stage on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. as well as Sunday’s at 4:30 p.m. The play is rated PG-13.
Sutter Street Theatre is located in the heart of Folsom’s Historic District at 717 Sutter Street. For reservations and ticket pricing go to www.SutterStreetTheatre.com or call (916) 353-1001.
