Not The Messiah

As part of their 40th anniversary celebrations last year, the surviving members of Monty Python (with the exception of John Cleese), appeared in a stage performance of Eric Idle's oratoria Not The Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy). The musical is of course based on Monty Python's Life of Brian, which many consider the most successful of their films.

The event was recorded and will in fact gain a very brief cinema release for one night only on March 25th. The recording will screen at 90 cinemas in the UK, with no showings planned in the US at president.

No doubt this means the show will turn up on DVD at some point in the near future. In the meantime, here's a trailer for the cinema screeenings
