English Envy: NOT THE MESSIAH (He’s a Very Naughty Boy)

The younger generations today — as I speak assuming the voice of some elder codger — do not seem to appreciate the comedic brilliance and wisdom bestowed upon the world by Monty Python. Too often I have found the youthful yanks of the Unites States are entirely unaware of the British comedy troupe, or on rare occasions, are reluctantly aware.

Some 40 years ago, the lot of them emerged… Eric idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, et al. With this glorious anniversary upon us, the old boys have reunited to present a celebratory shin dig to honor the historical moment of Monty Python’s inception. There’s just one problem… this event is screening for one night only, all over Europe. Why is this a problem? Last I checked, the United States is NOT in Europe!

This massive comedic, operatic spectacle included a chorus of 140, an orchestra of 80, bagpipes and guest appearances… all hosted by Eric Idle. Inspired by and featuring live, orchestrated performances of the music from LIFE OF BRIAN, this event looks terribly enjoyable, surreal and most definitely British, through the mischievous minds of Monty Python. NOT THE MESSIAH (He’s a Very Naughty Boy) almost makes me wanna be a Brit… almost.

Attached below is the trailer for the event, so that we may at least enjoy it’s truncated glimpse of what’s n store, but I do hope that it one day makes its way across the Atlantic to theaters on our side of the pond. The trailer comes to you courtesy of FlicksNews and their foresight to rub it in our American faces.
