  • The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash
    SPOOFS The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash In the 1970s, Eric Idle, a former member of the legendary British com- edy team Monty Python, featured a Beatles parody song called “It Must Be Love” on Rutland Weekend Television, his own television show on BBC-2. The song had been written by Neil Innes, who had previously worked with Monty Python and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. The song was performed by ‘The Rutles’, a Beatles look-alike band featuring Neil Innes as the John Lennon character, and Eric Idle as the Paul McCartney character (vgl. Harry 1985: 69). In October 1976, the parody was shown on America’s NBC TV’s show Saturday Night Live as a se- quel to the running gag of a Beatles reunion for $3,000. The parody went down so well that Eric Idle and Neil Innes decided to produce a feature program about The Rutles for television. Idle, who was a close friend of George Harrison, was allowed to watch Neil Aspinall’s unreleased do- cumentary about The Beatles, called The Long and Winding Road. Aspi- nall’s film featured a bulk of famous footage of The Beatles, from their first televised performance at the Cavern Club in Liverpool to their last group performance on the roof of their Apple business building. Idle u- sed The Long and Winding Road as a model for his fake-documentary about The Rutles and basically re-told the history of The Beatles pro- jected upon this imaginary rock band, adding essential elements of par- ody and the Pythonesque sense of surreal humor.

  • MONTY PYTHON at 50 , a Month-Long Season Celebra
    Tuesday 16 July 2019, London. The BFI today announces full details of IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50, a month-long season celebrating Monty Python – their roots, influences and subsequent work both as a group, and as individuals. The season, which takes place from 1 September – 1 October at BFI Southbank, forms part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the beloved comedy group, whose seminal series Monty Python’s Flying Circus first aired on 5th October 1969. The season will include all the Monty Python feature films; oddities and unseen curios from the depths of the BFI National Archive and from Michael Palin’s personal collection of super 8mm films; back-to-back screenings of the entire series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in a unique big-screen outing; and screenings of post-Python TV (Fawlty Towers, Out of the Trees, Ripping Yarns) and films (Jabberwocky, A Fish Called Wanda, Time Bandits, Wind in the Willows and more). There will also be rare screenings of pre-Python shows At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set, both of which will be released on BFI DVD on Monday 16 September, and a free exhibition of Python-related material from the BFI National Archive and The Monty Python Archive, and a Python takeover in the BFI Shop. Reflecting on the legacy and approaching celebrations, the Pythons commented: “Python has survived because we live in an increasingly Pythonesque world. Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was.” IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50 programmers Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy said: “We are delighted to share what is undoubtedly one of the most absurd seasons ever presented by the BFI, but even more delighted that it has been put together with help from the Pythons themselves and marked with their golden stamp of silliness.

  • The Rutles and the Use of Specific Models in Musical Satire John R
    The Rutles and the Use of Specific Models in Musical Satire John R. Covach On March 22, 1978, NBC aired a 90-minute "docudrama" entitled, "The Rutles: All You Need is Cash."l The focus of this satirical film is the fictitious 1960's musical group, "The Rutles." As the title of the film already suggests, the Rutles are modeled on the Beatles, and the densely packed references to the "Fab Four" which occur throughout "All You Need is Cash" will be immediately detected by any viewer familiar with the Beatles' careers. The idea of making the film arose after Monty Python comedian and writer Eric Idle presented a film clip of the Rutles performing "I Must Be In Love" on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" 1This date is given by Kim "Howard" Johnson in The First 200 Years of Monty fYthon (New YorK: St. Martin's Press, 1989),235. According to George Perry, BBC-2 fIrst aired the Rrogram on March 27, 1978. Perry, Life of Python (Boston and Toronto: Little, Brown and Company, 1983), 188. The film is available on home video as "I Love The Rutles," Pacific Arts Video Records P A VR-540. All the Rutles musical examples can be found on the recent CD release, The Rutles, Rhino R2 75760. The Beafles songs cited in the text can be found on the following albums: "She Loves You, " The Beatles' Second Album, Capitol ST2080; "Please Please Me" and "P.S.

  • Monty Python's SPAMALOT
    Audition Packet Monty Python’s SPAMALOT Book & Lyrics by Eric Idle | Music by John Du Prez & Eric Idle From the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin Performing at the NorShor Theatre: September 16 – October 3, 2021 Director: Justin Peck | Choreographer: Matthew Wagner | Music Director: Kyle Picha Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy of hilariously memorable characters and classic bits, not to mention great songs, high-energy dances, and killer rabbits. The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they learn to “always look on the bright side of life.” SPAMALOT CHARACTER BREAKDOWN: This production was fully cast and ready to open when the pandemic struck. Some of that cast can return, but others cannot. We are seeking a diverse cast of singers and dancers (18+) to fill the following vacated roles. • Sir Lancelot: A Knight of the Round Table. He is fearless to a bloody fault but discovers something surprising about himself. Also plays multiple supporting characters. Needs comic timing and musical ability. Preference given to performers with strong character voice and accent abilities. • Sir Bedevere: A Knight of the Round Table. A strangely flatulent, inept scholar. Also plays multiple supporting characters.
