Introduction 'Idle'

[edit]

The introductory paragraph quotes 'Idle'. Since Eric Idle has not been mentioned previously in the article, this looks strange (and is incorrect usage, I think). Should it say something like:

Monty Python's Spamalot is a musical comedy "lovingly ripped off from" the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail by former Monty Python member Eric Idle. Like the film, it is a highly irreverent parody of the Arthurian Legend, but it differs from the film in many ways [...] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.247.83.9 (talk) 21:53, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Picture in Act 1 heading

[edit]

What is the deal with the image in the Act 1 paragraph? It is a horrible photoshop of a woman's face over another's. if there is no permission to use the image with the original actress, then why use that image at all. I think it should be deleted. 71.13.94.42 (talk) 20:55, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New Icelandic production for February 2014

[edit]

I notice from the Leikárið 2013–2014 of the Þjóðleikhúsið [National Theatre], Reykjavík, that a production of Spamalot in Icelandic, translated by Bragi Valdimar Skúlason, is scheduled for February 2014.

(see http://www.thjodleikhusid.is/Syningar/leikarid-2013-2014/syning/1231/spamalot). On the Iclandic website but not yet (22.8.13) added to the English side of the same website — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.209.223.213 (talk) 21:23, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Instrumentation

[edit]

Does anyone know the instrumentation for this musical? Most other musicals on Wikipedia have the instrumentation listed. I think it would be pertinent and valuable information to include herein. So, anybody have it? Cory Parkinson, Composer (ASCAP), Pianist/Vocalist (talk) 00:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should the MUSICAL NUMBERS section be the songs as listed in the Playbill or the songs as listed in the Original Cast Recording?

[edit]

This would apply to all musicals so may have a broader discussion somewhere -- would be happy to be directed there.

The songs listed in the Playbill differ slightly from the listing on the cast album, which is often the case. Which should be used for the wiki page? Should we list both if more than a couple differences?

I'd say per the playbill with a double dagger ‡ mark for tracks not included on the recording CaptainPedge | Talk 23:24, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good to me. I'll fix the listing this week. BugSwat (talk) 18:42, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe add a mark for tracks on the cd that arent in the show like the tuning track and intermission? CaptainPedge | Talk 20:16, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea. I'll see if I can get it all listed nicely. I'm not entirely certain what is and wasn't in the very initial Broadway production as it was altered a bit, but I'll just go by what they listed in the Playbill as a starting point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BugSwat (talk • contribs) 00:51, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
