AHHH! We SO Have To See This Show!

Posted on by

Chicago Tribune | Monty Python show to try out in Chicago… because Tim Curry will be in it. We gotta, we gotta we gotta!

Call Steve. Because:

He leaked one detail regarding the stage version, relating to the knights’ encounter with the sniveling Frenchman played on the screen by John Cleese: “Remember the cow that gets flung over the wall? The cow has a song. That’s all I’m saying.”

Moo-moo-moo! Moo moo moo, moo-moo moo moo, moo moo moo moo-moo moo moo… moo-moo-moo!

  1. I have had the pleasure of meeting Michael Palin on two separate occasions. I am very excited for you!!!

    Ken

  2. Hi, Ken! Oh, if only I could make it really happen the way it ought to… which means meeting Tim Curry.

  3. Wouldn’t the song be more of a:

    Moo, moo-moo, moo, moo-moo, Splat! Moooooooooo!

    I believe it’s previewing in December. Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me…

  4. Spot on, Mitch. And sheep do not so much fly as plummet.

    My nephews persuaded the family to do a home video version of The Holy Grail. It was craptacular, with most us playing multiple roles.

    I would loooooove to see this. And Tim Curry rocks.

  5. Oh, oh, oh, is this video viewable anywhere? And while was looking this over, some lady bopped me over the head and ran off, cackling madly. I think it was my poetic muse.

    Good God, it’s the part of the song leading up to the cow’s big solo (one time only):

    Sheep do not fly, so much as plummet,
    they need a boost to reach the summit.
    “Cows are not aerodynamic,” you say:
    “unless you have a trebuchet!”

    Well…

    We’ve got one lying around here
    A catapult on steroids was found here
    Left over by Romans or Normans or the steenking Vikeengs or some verrry dodgey types named Brrruce… oh verrry well.

    We’ve got one lying around here,
    and ammo seems to abound here.
    We’ve plenty of cows on the ground here,
    And the one that was singing
    soon will be winging…
    its way through the air to completely CRUSH all you English pig-dogs into smelly little flat puddles of goo. Bah.
