It's easy to see why the show is closing as the tiny theatre was only at about half capacity which was saddening to see, especially with such a feel-good show.
Whilst the story is exactly the same as the film, the songs give it a new burst of life and make it thoroughly more enjoyable, whilst meaning characters such as the Black Knight and The Knights who say Ni still make an appearance.

Joe Pasquale played the lead with an adequate singing voice but an unforgettable persona which really added to the comedy side of the show.
James Bisp as Sir Galahad had a stunning voice whilst Conan House played a very camp Sir Lancelot which was the comedy highlight of the night.
In a predominately male cast, it was lovely to see Carley Stenson as the Lady of the Lake and she played the part effortlessly. Along with James Bisp, 'The song that goes like this' showed off the vocals of the pair whilst mocking the conventions of musicals.

Spamalot is definitely worth a watch before it leaves the West End but I would recommend seeing some Monty Python comedy sketch first or the show may be a little too bizarre for you to appreciate the first time around. The cast may be small but seeing characters take on several roles does add to the comedy of the show.
