Spam on the Road: Will’s Touring Blog

Spam Poster

So as all of you know. I’m going on the road with the National Tour of Spamalot, by Eric Idle. “Spam” is the musical staging of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The show is 2 hours of non stop Python-esqe silliness. All the cows, coconuts, and catapults that you know and love bookended with musical numbers in every conceivable broadway style.

We will tour for 10 months, in 113 cities, doing around 200 shows. The bus will take us everywhere from Florida to Canada, and Maine to L.A. The creation of CTRLZ STUDIO makes it impossible not to blog about it. So……..

We started rehearsals last week at Chelsea Studios in New York, on 26th between 6th and 7th ave. I’m living with a good friend, Ashley Wallace, who I know from a previous tour. Everyone in the cast is very nice and talented.

The show itself is very challenging. It is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. I am having fun, but there have been some rough days this past week. I sometimes feel, ( as I’m sure everyone in the cast does ) like the weakest link.

I just can’t wait till I know the show and it is nothing but fun.

And it will be.

Waterbury, Connecticut is first on the Schedule. That is where we will tech and open the show.

Till then,

Will
