Monty Python's SPAMALOT

16 Sep - 4 October 2026

Athenaeum Theatre 1

"It’s just a flesh wound!"

"'Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

"We are the Knights who say… Ni!."

MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT, lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy of beautiful showgirls not to mention village idiots, cows, killer rabbits, and French people - Oh, and did I mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls?

Bursting with unforgettable songs, absurd humour, and zany characters, this musical is a rollicking celebration of all things Monty Python. The Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

With its laugh-out-loud moments and unforgettable anthem “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT is a gloriously entertaining journey that leaves audiences in stitches from start to finish.

"Camp, comical, and bursting with talent, this is a show not to be missed. Rush to get tickets – it is guaranteed to lift your spirits and make you roar with laughter. It’s one of the best show’s I’ve seen this year." - Graeme Watson (Out In Perth)

How early should I arrive before the performance?

What happens if I’m running late to a performance?

Due to the nature of live performance, trying to find your way to your seat once a show has started can disrupt both the audience and the performers on stage. Therefore, most performances have a lockout period which restricts anybody from entering the auditorium until a suitable break in the performance. Depending on the performance, you may not be able to be seated in your original seat.

Can I take food and drinks inside the auditorium?

Packaged foods and cold drinks purchased at any of our theatre bars can be taken into the auditorium during the performance.

Hot drinks, glass and unpackaged foods will not be admitted into the auditorium.
