《Spamalot日记》[有声书]

The inside story of what it took to bring Monty Python and the Holy Grail to Broadway as the unlikely theatrical hit Spamalot, told through actual diary entries from the legendary comic performer, founding member of Monty Python, and New York Times bestselling author. On March 17, 2005, Spamalot debuted on Broadway to rapturous reviews for its star-studded creative team, including creators Eric Idle and John Du Prez, director Mike Nichols, and stars Hank Azaria, David Hyde Pierce, Sara Ramirez, Tim Curry, and more. But long before the show was the toast of Broadway and the winner of three Tony Awards, it was an idea threatening to fizzle before it could find its way into existence. Now, in The Spamalot Diaries, Eric Idle shares original journal entries and raw email exchanges—all featuring his whip-smart wit—revealing the sometimes bumpy, always entertaining, path to the show’s unforgettable run. In the months leading up to that opening night, financial anxieties were high, with a low-ceiling budget and expectations that it would take two years to break even. Collaborative disputes put decades-long friendships to the test. And the endless process of rewriting was a task as passionate as it was painstaking. Still, there’s nothing Idle would change about that year. Except for the broken ankle. He could do without the broken ankle. Chronicling every minor mishap and triumph along the way, as well as the creative tension that drove the show to new heights, The Spamalot Diaries is an unforgettable look behind the curtain of a beloved musical and inside the wickedly entertaining mind of one of our most treasured comic performers.

The 《Monty Python和圣 GRAIL》在百老汇的幕后故事，讲述了传奇喜剧表演者、蒙提·派恩特创始成员之一以及纽约时报畅销书作者的真实日记条目。2005年3月17日，《Spamalot》在百老汇首演，引起观众热烈反响，其明星级别的创意团队包括创作者伊莱克·爱德华和约翰·杜佩兹、导演迈克·尼科尔以及汉克·亚扎里亚、戴维德·海德·皮尔斯、萨拉·雷米安、特米·库瑞等。但远在剧目成为百老汇的宠儿，获得三个托尼奖之前，《Spamalot》曾经是即将夭折的想法，尚未成型。 现在，在《Spamalot日记》中，伊莱克·爱德华分享了原始日志条目和原始电子邮件交流——其中包含他敏锐的机智——揭示了剧目的难忘演出之路。在那场首演前几个月里，财务上的忧虑仍然存在，预算低且预计至少需要两年才能收支平衡。合作的争执考验了多年的友谊。还有反复修改的过程既充满激情又令人疲惫不堪。不过伊莱克·爱德华这一年中并没有任何改变，除了脚踝骨折。他可以不提脚踝骨折这件事。《Spamalot日记》回顾了整个过程中每一个小的失误和成功，以及激发剧目达到新高度的创作上的紧张感，《Spamalot日记》是一次难忘的幕后探秘之旅，也是我们最喜爱音乐剧中的一颗璀璨明星及其才华横溢的喜剧表演家内心世界的洞察。
