Monty Python’s Spamalot will continue its run at the Festival Theatre into November.
The Stratford Festival announced the popular production will extend two weeks, to Nov. 12.
The show has been packing the Avon Theatre since it hit the stage in May, the Festival said in a media release, and even attracted creator Eric Idle, who "loved the show and got up on stage to sing Always Look on the Bright Side of Life with the cast."
Stratford favourite Jonathan Goad leads the production, playing King Arthur, with Eddie Glen as his trusty sidekick, Patsy. The production also features Aaron Krohn as Sir Lancelot, Trevor Patt as Sir Robin and Liam Tobin as Sir Dennis Galahad.
The Lady of the Lake, played until Labour Day weekend by Jennifer Rider-Shaw (now on maternity leave), is played by Kimberly-Ann Truong, well remembered for her portrayal of Columbia in The Rocky Horror Show, another Stratford musical extended to meet demand.
The cast also includes Eric Abel, Carla Bennett, Devon Michael Brown, Amanda De Freitas, Aidan deSalaiz, Josh Doig, Henry Firmston, Evangelia Kambites, McKinley Knuckle, Bethany Kovarik, Gracie Mack, Ayrin Mackie, Anthony MacPherson, Heather McGuigan, Kyla Musselman and Jason Sermonia.
