text: (originally posted this in late SEPT ... I checked back recently, and inexplicably found my review missing?!?!  What happened here, Yelp, did someone from teh show contact you and ask to remove my and my coworkers negative review?!?!?!)\n\nSpamalot in Vegas was miserable, just miserable :(\n\nSome background on me - big MP fan, love the Holy Grail movie, and for the most part I really enjoy broadway-type musicals (e.g., just saw Avenue Q in SF, it was hilarous & awesome!).\n\nI've been wanting to see Spamalot on Broadway ever since I heard about it last year ... from what I'd heard, the show was very well received in NY and was hilarious.  So when I found out it was playing in Vegas, I was stoked ... my only fear was whether or not the show had been \"vegasized,\" but after reading the reviews on Yelp! that fear was allayed.\n\nWell, future yelpers reading this beware - this show is _terrible_, just absolutely bad ... and doubly so if you buy the tix at $100+ face value as we did :(\n\nI gotta think that the original production was nothing like the Vegas show (that much \"kitzsh\" and predictible, bad jokes could never have gone over well, could it?!?!), and that they mukked with the show to make it more palatable to typical 50+ Vegas showgoers ... that's the only thing I can think (said crowd, btw, gave this show an inexplicable standing ovation ... unreal).\n\nShow had only two saving graces, imho - the \"lady of the lake\" actress had a great voice, and some relatively funny lines; and the \"jews on broadway\" number was mildly amusing.\n\nAnyway, strongly advise against this for MP and Holy Grail fans, and probably anyone else under 45.  OTOH, if you enjoy Vegas glitz and glam paired with obvious & predictable jokes, perhaps you'll enjoy this show as well.
