Surviving Pythons reunite for NOT THE MESSIAH
Monday, March 1, 2010
Well, that was before Spamalot. These days, a new Python project is basically going to be another big, showbizzy Eric Idle stage musical that the other Pythons basically endure because he's an old pal and these things sure do make a lot of money. It brings me no joy to say it, but Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy) looks kind of awful, even if it does feature Palin, Jones and Gilliam briefly sharing the stage with Idle.
Sigh. At least it's unlikely that we'll be subjected to a Meaning of Life musical anytime soon. (I wouldn't be surprised if Idle is already working on one, but the film's episodic structure would be hell to adapt for Broadway.)
