The Spamalot Diaries – Eric Idle

Posted on 06/01/202403/27/2026 by Mark Lieberman

I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. Now, I have seen Spamalot twice (once in NY and once locally in town), and it’s one of my favorites (right along the same line as The Producers).

This book is written in a diary format, and I truly enjoyed Eric’s insights. Insights to the writing process, the rehearsals, the collaboration amongst the writer, the director (Mike Nichols), the choreographer, and the cast (Tim Curry, Hank Azaria, and David Hyde Pierce), and the constant pressure to bring it.

It really goes to show you how much effort and time it takes to put on a successful Broadway show, and I really enjoyed it.
