A few weeks ago, I posted an item about how a revue of Monty Python material, performed by actors not of the Monty Python troupe, might be making its way to Broadway. I was later informed by a good source that though it had been announced, it was probably not going to happen.
So now, how do we feel about a Broadway show, written by Eric Idle and based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail? For some reason, this sounds like a much better idea to me.
Say, while we're at it: Has anyone heard anything like a release date for Mr. Idle's sequel to The Rutles? I saw it at an invitational preview in May of 2001 and it seemed very funny and very close to done. Since then…not a word.
