The award-winning Broadway musical Spamalot hilariously retells the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, taking inspiration from the classic comedy film “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” In this hysterical musicalcomedy, the knights face flying cows, killer rabbits, and a 50% chance of pestilence and famine.

“The Writing’s on the Wall” as Sam Smith brings his haunting falsetto vocals and first-ever James Bond theme song to open at #1 on the British pop charts to the Amway Center. Determined to ‘shock,’ this out-spoken and outrageously ‘dressed’ vocalist tells us in his lyrics that “he is not here to make friends,” but makes it clear that HE IS HERE TO PARTAY….” Parental guidance suggested.
