Showbiz Eight years after the original premiere of ‘Spamalot,’ went on this crazy musical tonight for a second time in premiere. With largely the same cast as when, including Jonas Van Geel and Jan Van Looveren. Erik Van Looy is new. He allowed his voice to God to provide in this piece is full of Monty Python humor.
After the resounding success of Spamalot in 2011, Stany Crets again a contemporary adaptation of the movie ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ (1975). In this musical King Arthur, his servant Patsy, and some knights on a quest for the Holy Grail. But for the Flemish version of this classic has the director of-the-pot-of-way that they are pulled Broadway parodies added, and there seriously, the spot is driven with the musicalgenre, as well as with some BV’s.
Under the motto “never change a winning team” works Stany together again, with the same cast as eight years ago. As we see on the stage, among others, Koen Van Impe, Ann Van den Broeck, Walter Baele, Jonas Van Geel and Jan Van Looveren. For those last two meant ‘Spamalot’ at the time, their great breakthrough
But the most striking role for Erik Van Looy. The presenter gives his voice to God. “I felt very honored when they asked me, though I realized afterwards that they have something to ask only to an old man. So that’s quite confronting. Jesus, I will never be able to play.” Itself is Erik, who is big fan of Monty Python, also not on the shelves. “Due to lack of time, but I would like to like to acting. Only I can’t be good lyrics remember.” Meanwhile, Erik is busy with the preparations for a new season of ‘The Smartest Man In the World’ and he has already had some interesting names may be snares.”
The musical Monty Python’s Spamalot, playing until 13 april in the Antwerp Stadsschouwburg. Tickets at deepbridge.be.
These BV’s were present at the premiere:
“My grandma was British, so I’m familiar with that dry humour,” says Lesley-Ann Poppe on the side of Kevin. “Unfortunately, I’m not that funny.”
