ENID, OK – Gaslight Theatre is thrilled to announce the return of the uproarious and award-winning musical comedy, Monty Python's SPAMALOT, directed by the talented Carmen Ball. This hilarious production will take place from July 26-28, 2024, at a new location: the Enid High School auditorium, located at 611 W Wabash Ave, Enid, OK 73701.
Monty Python's SPAMALOT, with a book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, is a musical lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The outrageous and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table features a bevy of beautiful showgirls, killer rabbits, cows, and French people. The original Broadway production won three Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs.

Fans will delight in seeing iconic scenes and characters come to life with an added musical twist, ensuring an evening filled with laughter and nostalgia.

Director Carmen Ball expressed her excitement: "Bringing Monty Python's SPAMALOT back to the stage after 10 years is a dream come true. This production is a labor of love, and we can't wait for the community to experience the hilarity and magic all over again."
Frank Baker, President of the Gaslight Board of Directors, emphasized the importance of community partnerships in making this event possible: "We are incredibly grateful to our generous sponsors – Security National Bank of Enid, Park Avenue Thrift, K/H Financial, and St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church. A special thank you goes to Enid Public Schools and Enid High School for the use of their facilities. Their support ensures that our community can continue to enjoy top-notch theatre productions."
