Last evening saw the Broadway opening of Monty Python's Spamalot, the rudely hilarious new musical inspired by the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. (To access David Finkle's review of the show, click here.) Our photographer was on hand for the arrivals at the Shubert Theatre and for the after-party at Roseland. Pictured here are (l-r) original Python Eric Idle and three of the stars of Spamalot: Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce, and Hank Azaria.
