Spamalot has just opened at Wynn, Las Vegas on March 31st.  It took over the theater that had belonged to Avenue Q up until last year when declining ticket sales forced the show to close. 

One of the stars of Spamalot is John O’Hurley, who is probably best known for his role as J. Peterman on Seinfeld.  Other cast members include Nikki Crawford, Harry Bouvy, Justin Brill, Anthony Crane, Randal Keith, Edward Staudenmayer, and Steven Strafford.  The writers are Eric Idle (of Monty Python fame), and John Du Prez.  With that kind of cast and writers, it has to be great.  Spamalot has already received awards from it’s Broadway location, and now hopes to do well with the Las Vegas crowd. 

One of the biggest differences between the two is that the Broadway version is 2 hours and 20 minutes, while the Las Vegas version is only 90 minutes.  With so much to do in Las Vegas, it seems people don’t want too long of a show, and don’t want an intermission.

While we have not gotten a chance to see it yet, it should be a lot of fun!
