Not The Messiah (He's A Very Naughty Boy)

Image

ONE NIGHT ONLY IN CINEMAS
Thursday 25th March 2010

from the creators of Spamalot, written by Eric Idle and John Du Prez

A fabulously entertaining 90 minute comic oratorio by Eric Idle and John Du Prez (creators of Spamalot), inspired by Monty Python’s Life Of Brian and filmed at its only European performance at the Royal Albert Hall in October 2009 to celebrate 40 years of Monty Python.
This hilarious take on the Messiah features the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, a host of superb soloists in the lead roles including Rosalind Plowright and Eric Idle, with Michael Palin as Mrs Betty Parkinson and special guest appearances from Pythons Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam. And of course three sheep!
Like Handel only funnier.

And if you check out Monty Python's official YouTube channel, you can get a sneaky peek!

I'm going to go to my local screening. I'd like to see what it looked like from the front. I was sitting behind the choir in the Royal Albert Hall.

Saw it in LA at the Hollywood Bowl. Great to see Eric in action but... underwhelming.

You haven't lived until you've looked out at a packed Royal Albert Hall all waving candles and singing "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life"!
