The 5th Avenue Theatre Company presents \u201cMonty Python\u2019s SPAMALOT<\/a>,\u201d a revival of the Tony Award-winning musical. Spoof, goof, and sometimes woof, it first premiered in 2004 to critical and commercial acclaim. Based on the 1975 cult classic film \u201cMonty Python and the Holy Grail,\u201d the musical adaptation has taken on cult status of its own, and if you haven\u2019t always been \u201clooking on the bright side of life,\u201d then gear up for a whole (spama)lot of nonsense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe [Synopsis] That Goes Like This\u201d<\/h4>\n

King Arthur (Major Attaway) comes coconut shell-clopping through drab and dreary medieval England with his servant Patsy (Blake Segal). He is on a mission to assemble his Knights of the Round Table, travel to Camelot and, what else, find the Holy Grail. What ensues are consecutive slapstick, absurdist gags that generally support Arthur\u2019s end goal, though to fully summarize all of the ludicrous plot points of this comedy would be a fool\u2019s errand.<\/p>\n

The musical opens in \u201cFinland\u201d with \u201cFisch Schlapping Song,\u201d a kitschy parody that sets the tone for the ensuing 2.5 hours. The musical number, \u201cHe is Not Dead Yet\u201d, finds plague-ridden peasants vying to stay out of the corpse wagon. But the production\u2019s\u00a0 farcical timbre finds its stride when Arthur beckons the Lady of the Lake (Amanda Robles) to authenticate his sword Excalibur and confess their generic love (\u201cThe Song That Goes Like This\u201d). She brings along her Laker Girls, scantily clad dancers with pom poms. The mockery train finds fantastically preposterous speed and is completely runaway when the group of nincompoops make it to Camelot, a medieval Vegas, where they party (\u201cKnights of the Round Table\u201d) until God commands them to find the Holy Grail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second act is far easier to settle into, given the first act\u2019s chaotic preparation. Arthur and Patsy must find a shrubbery for the barbaric Knights Who Say Ni, leading to the production\u2019s most well-known number \u201cAlways Look on the Bright Side of Life.\u201d When the group is then forced to put on a Broadway musical to appease the creatures, \u201cYou Won\u2019t Succeed on Broadway\u201d laments the necessity that they find Jewish people in order to fulfill the tall order, an inside joke for SPAMALOT-admirers that doesn\u2019t quite land for those of us new to the musical.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou Won\u2019t Succeed on [Common Sense Media]\u201d<\/h4>\n

There is a nuance that requires some explanation to younger viewers about this particular sequence, which goes on to depict \u201cJewish\u201d cultural moments, like a spoof of Fiddler on the Roof and a drag Barbra Streisand. The production wants to capture the zeitgeist of their cultural relevance, but the sequences could come off as clich\u00e9 and offensive. The comedic quality of the joke only works because it is done with love and admiration, not explicit antisemitism, but this is a difficult concept to explain to a young person who has no context for it. As a mid-30s viewer who isn\u2019t a Pythonite, I found myself uncomfortable with their implications, but reassured by the reaction of those in the theater that this was a friendly joke made with love.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are jokes personalized to Seattle audiences throughout. (A Seahawks jersey may have found its way into the costume racks.) But for impressionable audience goers, there are some moments of inappropriate allusions. They are often quick \u2013 a character makes a crude, sexually charged gesture with his hands and mouth on a broomstick \u2013 though some are more intrinsic, like the lack of women in the production.<\/p>\n

The Lady of the Lake is the only female presence, apart from her Laker girl back-up dancers. When she is ignored for much of the second half, her solo \u201cDiva\u2019s Lament\u201d pokes fun at it, but highlights the fact that this is a man\u2019s show with predominantly male-leaning and male-centric skits.<\/p>\n

Overall, I think many of the inappropriate jokes would fly over the heads of younger viewers. Even I missed many of them; the cast speeds from one to the next without slowing down for the punchline to hit. I couldn\u2019t imagine, however, that there is anything for anyone under 13 to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
\n

Even the silly, idiotic jokes are a bit too smart or mature or require context for viewers under that age to fully understand, and while the physical comedy provides much of the musical\u2019s laughs, even that may get old over nearly two and a half hours of sitting.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Dissenter\u2019s] Lament\u201d<\/h4>\n

As I sat quietly through the inane routines and absurd skits in \u201cMonty Python\u2019s SPAMALOT,\u201d fellow theater-goers around me cackled and cheered, laughing and quoting along with the glorified fart jokes (and a few literal flatulent punchlines too). At first, I thought perhaps the affected British accents were losing me in translation. As the production progressed well into the second half, the sketch-based absurdity never quite grew on me.<\/p>\n

A quote by Michael Scott kept flitting through my thoughts: \u201cI love inside jokes. I\u2019d love to be a part of one someday.\u201d The inside jokes in \u201cSPAMALOT\u201d are almost imperative to enjoying the scattered premise that contains no urgency or interest in even a semblance of plot, conflict, and resolution. The musical doesn\u2019t want to be confined by an arc, both in terms of premise and character, and this is evident for the entire show, which moves from punchline to punchline as cheaply as it can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The disparity between my thoughts on the musical and the obvious reaction of others in the theater leads me to the conclusion: you are either a fan of Monty Python\u2019s humor, or you are not. Do yourself a favor before seeing \u201cSPAMALOT\u201d: watch or rewatch \u201cMonty Python and the Holy Grail\u201d to get a sense of whether or not you will be able to stomach it.<\/p>\n
