Woot! And Monty Python still rules the world .

quote: Monty Python's Spamalot," a loose - and loony - adaptation of the 1975 film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," won the top prize at last night's Tony Awards, adding a Tony for best musical to a résumé that already includes a $27 million advance, international press coverage and more knights in tights than any other show on Broadway. "Spamalot," which opened in March to generally good reviews and torrid sales, won three Tonys in all, including one for Mike Nichols's direction, his sixth Tony as a director. Mr. Nichols practically apologized to fellow nominees for his victory. "I guess you're thinking, age before beauty," he said. "Me, too." Sara Ramirez, meanwhile, won best featured actress in a musical for her work as a buxom Lady of the Lake, a star-making turn that featured Ms. Ramirez stealing scenes from her male co-stars: Tim Curry, Hank Azaria and David Hyde Pierce.

Awesome. I saw an advance performance a couple of months back, and it was lots of fun. Sara Ramirez was very good, and John Cleese's voice cameoed as the voice of God. Good stuff.

The problem with new Broadway plays is that no one outside of New York sees them. I've heard Spamalot is good. big whoop.

Nor, apparently, do the Brits, including original Python memebers -- since this is their production. (Eric Idle is the driving force behind it, iirc.)

Keeper: Oh bad, bad Zoot! You must spank her!
Sir Robin: Spank her??
Keeper: Yes, and then spank me.
Girl #1: And me!
Girl #2: And me!!
Keeper: Yes, you must spank all of us! And then... the oral sex!
Sir Robin: Well, I suppose I can stay a bit longer.

Every second of the Holy Grail (except for that sillyness about Camelot)

Money

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas.
I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge.
I've got lots of lovely lira,
Now the Deutschmark's getting dearer,
And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money!
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash!
Some people say it's folly,
but I'd rather have the lolly,
With money you can make a smash!

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money!
There is nothing like a newly minted pound!
Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker,
It's accountancy that makes the world go round!

You can keep your Marxist ways,
for it's only just a phase...
Money, money, money makes the world go round!

Actually, it was Sir Galahad who was faced with temptation at Castle Anthrax, not Sir Robin.

Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin

His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off
And his penis...
Well that's enough music for now, lads...

Brave Sir Robin ran away - No!
Bravely ran away, away - I didn't!
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled - No!
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin
