Spamalot returns to the bay area for another ribald run. The play won a 2005 Tony for best musical and offers a fun revamp of the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It includes some of Monty Python's most famous songs and sight gags — flying cows, killer rabbits, taunting Frenchmen and more. Eric Idle, wrote the musical's book and lyrics and collaborated with John Du Prez on most of the music. A must for fans of the troupe. 8 p.m. $42-$62. Mahaffey Theater, 400 First St. S., St. Petersburg. 727-892-5767. mahaffeytheater.com.
