Monty Python Live (mostly)

Wednesday, Aug 6, 7:30 pm
Sunday, Aug 17, 2:00 pm
The Lincoln Theatre is pleased to hold an encore screening of Monty Python Live (mostly) on August 17th.  The broadcast was taken from the historic sold-out Last Night of the Pythons Live from London’s O2 arena recorded on July 20th. Our first screening was a big hit with our patrons leaving the theatre singing Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.
 
Fans around the world will have the opportunity of joining in on one of the most anticipated live events of the year, a chance to say farewell to the Pythons on this last and special night. The live show will be directed by Aubrey Powell and produced by Fiz Oliver.
 
Monty Python rightfully hold a place amongst the world’s finest ever comedians, influencing a generation and revolutionising comedy on their way to greatness.

There was huge demand for tickets for the first live performances at the O2 on stage by the stars of Monty Python since performing at the Hollywood Bowl on 15 September 1980 and 40 years after they last appeared on stage in the UK at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. At a combined age of just 357, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin will once again take to the stage and perform some of Monty Python’s greatest hits with modern, topical, Pythonesque twists.

 "Thanks to the wonderful invention of moving pictures, The Last Night of Monty Python is coming to a cinema near you. Get your knotted handkerchiefs out and warm your brains one last time at any one of 450 cinemas across the UK, and 1500 across the world. Join the crowd live from London’s O2 in a final weepy, hilarious, uproarious, outrageous, farewell to the five remaining Pythons as they head for The Old Jokes Home ....on the big screen, in HD, ” said the Pythons.

 
 
 
 
Monty Python first hit our screens with the Flying Circus, which saw 45 episodes broadcast over four BBC series between 1969 and 1974. The Pythons were an instant success and became the face of British comedy.  They went on to achieve overwhelming international acclaim with the huge success of films such as “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” in 1975, “Life of Brian” in 1979 and their final film, “The Meaning of Life” in 1983.
 
Tickets: $15 general; $13 seniors; $11 students with $2 off for Lincoln Theatre Members.
