The Edmonton Journal today reports that former Monty Python star Eric Idle is hard at work at developing a Broadway musical version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Idle is writing the script, based, of course, on the screenplay written by him and his former Python-mates. Idle is also co-writing the songs with formerMonty Python composer John Du Prez. Veteran film and Broadway director Mike Nichols is directing, and they hope to have their premiere in the spring of 2005.
And the working title is Spamalot.
Next issue...I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK.
