If your New Year’s resolutions included “laugh more,” Spamalot is about to help you crush that goal. The Tony Award–winning musical comedy—lovingly “ripped off” from Monty Python and the Holy Grail—is coming to the West Herr Auditorium Theatre from January 13–18, 2026, as part of the 2025–2026 M&T Bank Broadway Season presented by RBTL and Albert Nocciolino.

This show is pure, unfiltered joy. Think flying cows, killer rabbits, French taunters, Grade-A absurdity, and the kind of belly laughs that make strangers bond instantly. Critics agree: Peter Marks of The Washington Post says, “It’s UNFAIR to make me laugh this much!” And honestly…same.

Whether you’re a long-time Monty Python fan or just a lover of good comedy, this is the kind of Broadway event that makes January in Rochester feel a whole lot brighter.

About the Show

Spamalot first galloped onto Broadway in 2005 with a book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle. It was nominated for 14 Tony Awards and won three, including Best Musical—and it’s not hard to see why.

The show takes everything beloved about Monty Python and the Holy Grail and turns it into a full-scale musical spectacle—rubbery shrubbery included. From showstoppers like “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” “The Song That Goes Like This,” and “Find Your Grail,” this production brings nostalgia, hilarity, and a touch of Broadway glam to the most ridiculous quest in theater history.

Why Rochester Audiences Will Love It

Because it’s BIG. It’s SILLY. And it’s the perfect mid-winter pick-me-up.

Rochester always shows up for comedy, for nostalgia, for Broadway, and for a good time—and Spamalot brings all three.

Plus, any show that manages to mix British humor, Broadway vocals, tap-dancing knights, and a killer rabbit? Automatic win.

Bottom Line

If you love musical theatre, Monty Python, or simply want a night out where you laugh until your face hurts, make space in your January calendar. Spamalot is one of those shows that becomes a shared Rochester “remember when?” moment.

Sharpen your coconuts. Assemble your knights. And get ready to look on the bright side of life—live on stage in Rochester.
