Decca Broadway has announced it will record the upcoming Broadway musical Monty Python’s Spamalot for an original cast recording release set for spring. The recording date is February 7, and will feature Tim Curry (The Rocky Horror Show, “Clue“) as King Arthur, David Hyde Pierce (“Frasier,” The Heidi Chronicles) as Sir Robin, Hank Azaria (“The Birdcage,” Sexual Perversity in Chicago) as Sir Lancelot, Christopher Seiber (Into The Woods) as Sir Galahad, Michael McGrath (Wonderful Town) as Patsy et al., Steve Rosen (The Golem) as Sir Bedevere and Sara Ramirez (A Class Act) as The Lady of the Lake. Songs include “Fisch Schlapping Song,” “King Arthur’s Song,” “I Am Not Dead Yet,” “Come With Me,” “The Song That Goes Like This,” “Burn Her!,” “All For One,” “Knights of the Round Table,” “The Song That Goes Like This (Reprise),” “Find Your Grail,” “The Cow Song,” “Run Away,” “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” “Brave Sir Robin,” “You Won’t Succeed on Broadway,” “The Diva’s Lament,” “Where Are You?,” “Here Are You,” “His Name is Lancelot,” “I’m All Alone,” “The Song That Goes Like This (Reprise),” “The Holy Grail” and “Find Your Grail Finale – Medley.”
For those unfamiliar with the story, Spamalot tells the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table on their quest for the Holy Grail. The show will boast “a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits and one legless knight who create unforgettable musical production.” Creator Eric Idle, in the show’s announcement, promised it will be “as good as or quite likely better than any other show with killer rabbits and a legless knight opening on Broadway or in Chicago this season.’
Boy, I want to see this show. I want that album.
The show also has a homepage, with an incredible number of silly bits in the flash animation. Oh, this looks *good*.
