Spamalot/Trivia


 * Acting for Two: Just like in the movie, even with the Composite Character effect going on, most of the actors play several roles.
 * Actor Allusion: During the original production, after Tim the Enchanter introduces himself, King Arthur (Tim Curry) would cheat out to the audience and mutter "Tim... what a stupid name!"
 * The Cast Showoff: In "You Won't Succeed on Broadway", David Hyde Pierce gets to sing, dance, pattersong and do the Fiddler on the Roof Bottle Dance.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Hey, it's Dr. Frank N Furter, Slim, "Animal", and John Cleese.
 * One touring production featured John O'Hurley (Family Feud, Dancing With the Stars, Mr. Peterman on Seinfeld) as King Arthur. He also headed up the Vegas cast.
 * Some who went to the West End production got a chance to witness a singing, dancing Fifth Doctor.
 * The current touring production has Eric Idle as the voice of God.
 * The Mayor spent some time playing King Arthur in the Broadway production.
 * Alyx Vance was The Lady in the Lake.
 * In the British touring production, King Arthur is usually played by a well-known comedian; recent examples include Sanjeev Bhaskar, Marcus Brigstocke and Phill Jupitus. There is a new Arthur roughly every six months, while the rest of the cast remains largely the same.
 * Playing Against Type: Tim Curry as King Arthur in the original Broadway and London casts.
