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.
