Monty Python’s Spamalot Revival to Close on Broadway: What Went Wrong?

After a 24-week run, the Broadway revival of Monty Python’s Spamalot is set to close at the St. James Theatre. Despite favorable critical reviews, the production struggled to fill seats, with last week’s attendance at only 59% of capacity. Cost-cutting measures failed to make a significant impact on the show’s financial performance. Producer Jeffrey Finn expressed pride in the cast and crew, but acknowledged the challenges faced by the production. With a national tour planned for 2025, fans can still experience the joy and laughter of Spamalot beyond Broadway.
