This area, it seems, can't get enough of "Monty Python's Spamalot."
The third staging in two years comes to NMSU's Pan Am Center, where the touring version will stop for a single performance at 7:30 p.m. March 1.
Tickets are $32, $42 and $52, plus service charges, on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 18 at the box office, Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.com and 800.745.3000.
Presales will run from 10 a.m. Jan. 16 to 10 p.m. Jan. 17.
It marks the second time the touring version of the hit Broadway musical comedy — which Python's Eric Idle fashioned into both a stage version of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and a Broadway spoof — will play a local stage in less than three years.
The show sold out the Plaza Theatre on Jan. 25, 2011.
The UTEP Dinner Theatre staged it last October.
If you're wondering how it'll work in a 13,000-seat arena, the venue's Bobbie Welch said that seating will be in a theater configuration, with capacity at just under 4,000, same as "Stomp," which comes there Feb. 1.
The house will be cut in half, with the stage located on the floor's center.
Is the show still 2:20 with a 15 min intermission? Gets done by 10pm?
