Lovingly "ripped-off" from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Spamalot is the winner of three 2005 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director (Mike Nichols), as well as the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical.

Washington’s sordid love affair with Monty Python’s Spamalot began in 2006, when the First National Tour played to sell-out crowds at The National Theatre, breaking the existing box office record. The show returned to the nation’s capital twice more, earning rave reviews and legions of fans. Now after seven years, Monty Python’s Spamalot comes full circle, back to the theater where it all began for D.C.
Two local actors who were here last year with Monty Python’s Spamalot return to say farewell: Arthur Rowan, who plays King Arthur, and Adam Grabau, who plays Sir Lancelot and three other roles. Rowan attended high school in Vienna, Virginia, and has worked with Folger Theatre, WSC Avant Bard, Scena Theatre, Horizons Theater, and American Century Theater, among others. Grabau, a native of Howard County, performed in Signature Theatre’s Helen Hayes Award-winning Les Miserables. He has also worked with Studio Theatre, Olney Theatre Center, Toby’s Dinner Theatre, and Rep Stage.
