Spamalot – Sanjeev is the new Arthur

Spamalot cast news – Comedian Sanjeev Bhaskar will be playing King Arthur as of June 23rd. Sanjeev, one of the stars of The Kumars at No. 42 and Goodness Gracious Me, takes over from Alan Dale.

Sanjeev is married to co-star, comedienne and writer Myra Sayal. As far as I can find this will be his first West End role. I think he’s a great choice and he will bring his own unique style to the final months of Spamalot.

Spamalot looks set to close on January 3, 2009, but will go on a UK tour in April.
