Tim Curry - Spamalot REHEARSALS !! - Original London Cast

[@flotasker]

I saw the London performance on the opening night (before the proper one with celebrities) and the whole audience absolutely loved it. We even cheered the chap who sweeped the stage during the interval. Best bit was the end when we all stood up and cheered the cast who looked very taken aback by the audience's huge response. It was fantastic.

[@pikppa]

Tim Curry = Legend **

[@cooperminion825]

Francesco Brosolo no shit

[@lexilove8900]

Haha "Legend"... get it? Because he (Curry) plays Darkness in the movie "Legend". He really is truly a centrurial icon.

[@Arualx]

Tim Curry and Christian Borle = perfection

[@bloodssoda6341]

they could actually be related

[@cruisematt8585]

My gosh I love them both sm!

[@GodIsJamesMason]

6:04 omg Tim is loving this! 💗

[@pryor9224]

I like how they keep saying it's an all British cast and then there's just Christoper Sieber standing there.

[@TravelWithNic]

OH MY GOD! THESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING, ESPECIALLY HANNAH! I am SOOOOOOOOO impressed with how well these people sing just in rehearsal. OMG it takes my breath away. WOW! I had the chance to see Spamalot with Hannah Waddingham and Clay Aiken and it was such an amazing combo! I just love these two people. They are so talented and so is everyone else in this brillant show!

[@shaitarn1869]

I was half-expecting Tim to say "No, let's not go to Camelot; it is a silly place" at the end.

[@cosmobane6995]

Tim is so humble

[@JoTheAnomaly]

IM SCREAMING. I LOVE TIMMY

[@ExpertSelections]

I saw this show last night in Toronto. I laughed my ass off! The Lady of the Lake steals the show!

[@cateylove123]

Mhmmm I love Tim Curry

[@luvame94]

i just love tim!!

[@el-ti8gd]

Tim Curry’s shade at the Americans in the beginning

[@taylorv.2355]

Ella O’Neill Weird considering Sara Ramirez pretty much made the damn show.

[@corinnenh1217]

I'm American and still loved it, it's Tim Curry, and Americans are darn needy.

[@Angelique24118]

It doesn’t surprise me

[@davidwilliss5555]

I've seen 2 or 3 productions of this (including a children's theatre version where God was played by a 9 year old girl - amazing!), but I'd really like them to release a DVD of the original cast.

[@maclin52]

Tim Curry and Hannah Waddingham how perfect

[@tdogg46142]

I was looking up people from this cast and hadn't realized that the Lady of the Lake was on Game of Thrones (Septa Unella)

[@GwennieGail]

Hannah Waddingham was the Lady of the Lake for London and part of the Broadway tour.

[@eleanorpowell2007]

Lucky you! I feel so stupid, living in London, walking by the Palace Theatre every week of my life and I managed to miss it when Tim Curry was in the show. I wanted to get best tickets with a glorious view instead of watching from the gods and time passed quickly and lost my chance. Grrr... Never again.

[@maureenwagg5305]

I didn't know we 'ad a king! I thought we were an autonomous collective LOLOL :) I love Monty Python they are the best of the best

[@Blizzardthewolfie]

3:38 XD Tim's face XD

[@joycepiantes8383]

Oh how I would have loved to see this

[@virginiarules510]

I'm seeing this later this month! So excited!

[@SeldimSeen1]

I had the great fortune to see Spamalot on Broadway in New York. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Lioninthenight]

Saw it in Las Vegas at The Wynn last month. It was excellent!

[@TheDiplomancer]

I saw the original cast on Broadway. Also, in english, we were watching the movie "Clue", and Tim Curry was in that, so it was weird to see him as young as he was then, and he is a lot older now.

[@martinsorenson1055]

We all are....

[@TheDiplomancer]

@@martinsorenson1055 I can say that I am 15 years older than I was when I left that comment

[@martinsorenson1055]

@@TheDiplomancer And I'm only a few hours older since I left mine....Wow.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

Man I really wish I could have seen this

[@Alleycatbluetrumpet]

I would have so loved to see this! But only this cast would make it great! Love the Pythons and TIm!

[@eleanorpowell2007]

United States. I believe formally in March 2005 (correct me if I'm wrong). London saw the arrival of Spamalot in October 2006. In both places, Broadway and the West End (London) Tim Curry was King Arthur.

[@charchaz00]

Christian Borle is incredible

[@eslomovits]

The clips of Christian Borle as Not Dead Fred are better than whoever plays him here! Borle is an amazing talent!

[@TimelordUK]

These are rehearsals not the finished show. I guess things get refined

[@eleanorpowell2007]

I was supposed to be there, that night......ahhh, couldn't go in the end...long story. I'm glad you had a great time, one of those 'once in a lifetime' opportunities in the theatre world :)

[@babygirl-vi7ws]

If Tim was in game of thrones I probably would have watched it

[@Fcutdlady]

sounds like it is form the south bank show . this is a show about the arts on ITV

[@vstreamer]

that was a lot of fun!

[@eleanorpowell2007]

Anyone interested in the full 45 minute show, please, do send me a message and I will reply you will the link to the entire documentary for the making of Spamalot. It is uploaded on a different website. I cannot post links here, so a Private Message is the only way. Cheers!!

[@WhoseLineBabygirl]

"you wish you werent born!!!!" lmao i miss spamalot!!

[@LPM12]

The Palace Theatre, now home to Priscilla - Queen of the Desert. (I wish shows here In New York put things on top of our marquees, like the Grail or a stiletto)

[@IJVin]

Christopher Sieber (Galahad) looks like Jason Segel.

[@kitkatcutie520]

to think this guy sang sweet transvestite xP

[@carliforlife8093]

kitkatcutie520. right

[@martinsorenson1055]

Well, he was younger then....

[@AngelAura28Video]

Aw, yes . . . I see what you mean! My bad. Oops! He was a very funny and kind guy. I loved chatting with him. I worked an an agency that represented him.

[@ucrfl]

Dear Eleanor Powell2007, I'd love to see it. I just saw it on Broadway, and it was fabulous! ucrfl

[@Anaksunamen999]

I really like sara ramirez as the lady of the lake but this lady does it well too. I hope they put it on DVD I would but it instantly

[@AlrauneX]

@IJVin I was thinking that too!!

[@Adirondaque]

I was wondering where I saw Hannah watching Ted Lasso. Turns out, my subconscious remember these bits! Probably why I wasn't surprised when she sang.

[@anikoles]

LOL first it's Molecat, and then Camltoe, THEN Camelot lol

[@eleanorpowell2007]

Sometimes he reminds me of Brendan Fraser, mainly with the wig when he pulls those funny faces in 'The Song That Goes Like This' (Brendan Fraser in George Of The Jungle)

[@Editslovejazzy]

"Cameltoe" ROFL XD

[@martinsorenson1055]

I remember howling so loud when that happened....

[@RosesNightengales]

Tim Curry is Nigel Thornberry! XD

[@ethalinia]

@IJVin Ah, finally someone notices too! I saw a vid of spamalot and I thought it was Jason Segel at first :P

[@gchimmel]

It's really weird watching them perform without their costumes on

[@justbeyondthecornerproduct3540]

7:36 "Stage freeze!" "Don't say stage freeze just do it"

[@eleanorpowell2007]

This is a documentary focused on the making of Spamalot, so is more about Eric Idle, the Pythons, ideas that were never used and some bits about actors. Tim Curry's bits are pretty much all here, with the exception of a couple comments he made. I can send you by Private Message a link where you can find the whole show, which is 45 minutes long and is really great. You should see it!

[@atearsarahjane]

Is there more Hannah? Do you still have the link if so?

[@kalishiva18]

they are talking about it, putting it on DVD

[@ironbutterflyasmr4111]

Hannah Waddingham's figure..OMG..

[@gentlerat]

I'm not sure it works in London. I heard that half the jokes in it are about Broadway. Then again, obscure cultural references never stopped some of us Americans from liking Monty Python.

[@ZeldaQueen64]

I nearly died laughing when I saw this! I don't think it was the original London cast, but it was still hilarious! XD

[@timicus2]

@maipigenDK Sara Ramirez was in he original Broadway cast. This is the London cast.

[@flotasker]

Yes indeed. Sorry you missed the opening - hope you have seen it anyway though. :D

[@brayidur]

sara is better id say but my aunt was a costume person on the us tour when hannah and some of the cast came over, it was excellent, then i saw sara and them in shubert both shows were out standing

[@poptropican2001]

It looks like Eric Idle at 4:40

[@spacewarpphotography1667]

Who edited this documentary? Those are some very hard cuts between parts, and most of all at the end. Very jarring.

[@basinglag]

Fetcher la vache :D So funny to see, if you go to london, this is a must see ;)

[@nohollaback]

I can never see him without thinking about Dr. Frankenfurter, personally.

[@carliforlife8093]

nohollaback lol right

[@eleanorpowell2007]

@malisemary1 Oh, thank you! Any chance the interview might be watched on youtube?

[@0NeverNeverLand0]

ummm, in some clips the not dead guy is Christian Borle... but some its not him....

[@charchaz00]

the clips are from the broadway production with christian in it, the rehearsal clips are the west end rehearsals

[@gpmorris16]

My version of knights of the round table at my college I’m not in it who’s in it is King Arthur Patsy Sir Robin Sir Lancelot Sir Galahad Sir Bedivere Sir Bors And Sir Not Appearing And one knight, Concorde, Sir Robin’s 1st Minstrel And 1st monk and 7 laker girls and lady of the lake

[@malisemary1]

@eleanorpowell2007 Sorry, I do not think there is a way. Anyway I am not savvy with that sort of thing. To correct my self it is not UNO that is another interview I found. The one I found is from American Theater Wing.

[@scene-formusic9091]

so where can i watch the full play please?

[@MrKaywyn]

Did Tim returned to England for this show? I always assumed that the equally excellent Peter Davison was cast, since, Tim decided to stay in the States.

[@SenzaNomeThi3f]

XD Nice!

[@chocolateposters]

Love it!!!! d=(^o^)=b Lol that guy in the Not Dead Yet part looks a bit like Graham Chapman Bless him

[@ilovequeenandhp]

I love you Patsy...

[@maipigenDK]

I'm very new to this show, but...pardon me I thought Sara Ramirez was the original Lady or am I wrong?

[@dorothyallspice1862]

This is the Original LONDON cast. It opened it London one year after it opened on Broadway.

[@achanwahn]

Omg! How much did production cost?! 😲

[@martinsorenson1055]

Funny. It was $11 million. The Original, NY version. With that cast, director it had to be hefty. Even so, they used the money when they needed to, for a good gag and then when the gag called for cheapness, they did that too.

[@imisstoronto3121]

i understand they did the song "you won't succeed on broadway......" a little differently than the original. The original was a howl, but i;d like to see the revised version. Do you have it?

[@lastbloke]

I can't find it anywhere! Because we don't have the big Jewish financier thing over here, they took those references out and changed the song to "You won't succeed in showbiz if you haven't got a star". I've seen the show twice now, and the first time (about two years ago) is was really lame, but I saw it again a month ago and they've rewritten it. It was hilarious this time around. The theatre were selling soundtrack CDs, so I would guess it will be on there. Hope that helps...!

[@imisstoronto3121]

Richard Cook We don't laugh because of the 'big jewish financier". We laugh because Jews are hugely involved in show business and theatre, from composers, musicians, lyricists, writers, producers etc and yes some financiers.

[@lastbloke]

imiss toronto Oh.... I seeeeeeee......! I guess the song doesn't translate properly in this direction either then...! ;)

[@dysenteryworld]

David Hyde Pierce is the only good Robin

[@GwennieGail]

Clay Aiken was fabulous as Sir Robin, I saw it. I know I'd love DHP as well.

[@AngelAura28Video]

Graham Chapman died a long while ago, right? I met him in the 80s.

[@martinsorenson1055]

Yes, unfortunately. I see your comment is from 15 years ago , my GOD, time, time time.... Terry Jones just passed in Jan of 2020 - right on the Covid cusp! But not from it.

[@TheBroadway95]

Why do i get the feeling that Terry Gilliam did not like Spamalot?

[@BoynamedSaraya]

where did you get this?

[@relenkwish777]

tim curry is still hott

[@infectioustomfoolery]

Where is David Hyde Pierce 😢

[@azachu]

@ 0:33 I didn't vote for 'im

[@theatrebritty]

Hahaha Cameltoe! Never noticed that! Probably because I was in the last rows in Ny...

[@eleanorpowell2007]

I was quite unsure this musical was going to be any good before it premiered. I thought....."oh dear, don't touch the brilliant film the Pythons (all of them) made"; but then I saw it and... well it is a top job. Although I have to say that the original cast was the best choice of actors. Here in London recent choices are a bit....wrong. It is damaging the musical.

[@eleanorpowell2007]

It seems to work, only problem is all the new main casting, the musical itself remains very popular, but the new actors are....ahem, not the best choice. It might damage the musical quite soon.

[@toonsis]

I saw this over a bloody fortnight

[@daveburchall2887]

The guy with the short blonde hair in the ensemble looks like Donny Tourette

[@Vampires22]

i like sara batter than her, but she's still pretty good. gottta love not dead fred :)
