‘Spamalot’ of laughing here

There’s nothing like a night with the Knights who say “Ni” to make you forget what’s going on in the real world. “Spamalot,” the Tony-award winning “musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail” is back in Boston for an all-too-short run at the Colonial Theatre. And it’s as fresh and funny as it was on its first visit nearly three years ago.

Tired of all these snotty art-rock poseurs flicking alternate tuned guitars and whispering long winded nonsense about ghost ships and quantum physics? This triple bill of good ‘ol, zero-pretension rock ’n’ roll has what you crave: hooks, energy, guitar solos, and just enough inebriation to make it sound like it wasn’t rehearsed. Added bonus: the Truckers and Kickbacks release new CDs tonight.
