'Frasier' Star Lands Monty Python Role


Former Frasier star David Hyde Pierce and Rocky Horror Picture Show actor Tim Curry have been named among the cast of Eric Idle's new Monty Python musical. The acting pair and funnyman Hank Azaria will take the leads in the Broadway-bound production of Spamalot. The King Arthur legend spoof, which became cult Monty Python film Monty Python & The Holy Grail, will be directed by Oscar winner Mike Nichols. Pierce, who played Frasier's brother Niles Crane in the hit sitcom, will play Sir Robin and Curry will play King Arthur. Azaria will take on the role of Sir Lancelot. The show is set to debut in Chicago, Illinois, in December, before beginning a Broadway run in February.

It would be so interesting to see that.

I AM seeing this!

I heard about it last month from a friend of my mom's, and she's buying me a ticket to NY to see it with her, cause she doesn't want to see it alone!

Monty Python and Niles Crane, together.... does it get any better?!

very true.
I saw "Rocky Horror Picture Show" a few months ago for the first time, it was very strange -- but very entertaining.

****ing awesome is right.

I'll definately go see it! You know, Jane Leeves was in Monty Python's Meaning of Life movie haha! I was watching that today and saw her in the last scene - "Christmas In Heaven" hahaha!!!


Tim Curry is great! I remember him in the movie "The Worst Witch.." anyone besides me, love that movie? Oh and Rocky Horror - love that, too!

I really wish I could see this. Any chance it might come to London's West End? :(
