Nice article on Eric Idle and his new Monty Python musical in the Chicago-Tribune. [Registration required but free] Amusingly, Slate today makes reference to "Mike Nichols' inspired musical about Monty Python." Nichols is directing but isn't it pretty obvious that the possessive here is misdirected and that the driving force in this project is Mr. Idle? Also, of course, the adaptation of their Holy Grail movie is not "about Monty Python." [Thanks to Steve Pyskoty-Olle for the Idle gesture.]
