I just saw this and had to post it...to celebrate the first anniversary of the show's opening on Broadway, Spamalot is hosting a Guiness Book of World's Records competition for the world's largest coconut orchestra...here are the details.
Someone go and take pictures, okay?
WHEN:
Wednesday March 22 after the matinee performance of Monty Python’s SPAMALOT at 4:30 PM
WHERE:
Shubert Alley, 44th - 45th Streets between Broadway and 8th Avenue, New York City
WHAT ON EARTH:
Talent. Tradition. Dignity. Monty Python’s SPAMALOT is prepared to
squander them all to celebrate an award-winning and record-breaking
year for the Tony Award-winning Best Musical. Monty Python’s SPAMALOT
will got for the Guinness World Record for the “World’s Largest Coconut
Orchestra.” Official representatives from Guinness World Records -
including ones who can count – will be present to monitor the flood of
serfs and peasants expected to gather to try to set this record. After
all, they’re getting free coconuts.
Cast
members from SPAMALOT, including Tony Award nominees Christopher Sieber
and Michael McGrath will be on hand to taunt, or rather “conduct,” the
orchestra in a coconut-clapping rendition of “Always Look on the Bright
Side of Life” in Shubert Alley.
HOW DO WE JOIN THIS QUEST:
Anyone and everyone is invited to participate in this record-setting event.
3:45 PM: Event registration begins in Shubert Alley.
4:30 PM: Event scheduled to begin
4:45 PM: The record will be confirmed by a Guinness World Records official
In order to receive your free commemorative coconuts, participants must first complete a painfully brief registration form.
