Simon Russell Beale is taking over as King Arthur in the Monty Python musical “Spamalot.” The musical has won several awards on Broadway and has been nominated for seven Laurence Olivier awards in London. Critics are giving him the thumbs up.
“He’s cuddly, loveable and has a very small brain. But he offers such a jovial performance that you can’t help but enjoy watching him.” - The Guardian
“It was strange to watch our greatest classical actor in a Monty Python musical but he was predictably excellent.” -The Independent
“He is, in short, the last actor one would expect to see in the deliciously silly, wildly camp musical that is Spamalot.” - Daily Telegraph critic Charles Spencer
