Really? They sing "Always look at the bright side of life"?

Oh well, I'm not sure if I'd love or hate this musical, being such a huge fan of "MP and the Holy Grail" (I've seen it so many times I know every line). But I'm sure it's more of a tribute to Monty Python...

One last question: does it feature my favorite scene? When the guards are instructed to keep prince Herbert in the tower ("You keep him in here, and make sure he dosen't leave the room...")
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Yes, it does have that song.
Instead of the Knights voluntarily splitting up for the search after the French taunting, like in the movie, the Knights run away and are scattered.

Arthur and Patsy find the Knights who say Ni, get their quest and Arthur gets depressed about finding a Shrubbery. Patsy then sings the song.

Yes, that scene is in the play. In fact, the whole Herbert thing is quite integral, as we learn that Lancelot is, as part of the song said, "Batting for the other team."

Well, somehow that song only seems to fit a crucifixion...

I think it's like "The Producers", the musical is merely a paying tribute to the original movie...
