Spamalot! Spamalot! Spamalot!
Yes, the Monty Python musical has taken three prizes at the Tony Awards. Best
Musical, Best Director for Mike Nichols and Sarah Ramirez, playing the Lady in
the Lake, won Best Supporting Musical Actress.
However, the musical was originally nominated for a massive fourteen awards,
and Mike Nichols said afterwards that when the early prizes went to other shows
he started to get nervous.
"I sat there thinking we are in the toilet. This is backlash big-time. But
then it turned out OK."
The show was broken Broadway records and looks set for a London transfer
either late this year or early next year.
