4. Which of these men was NOT in the original Broadway cast of "Spamalot"?

Answer: John Lithgow

John Lithgow played Lawrence in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", but was not in "Spamalot". Tim Curry portrayed King Arthur, David Hyde Pierce was Sir Robin, and Hank Azaria presented Sir Lancelot and a variety of other minor characters, including the taunting French soldier.

5. What did Robin personally do after the Battle of Badon Hill in "Spamalot"?

Answer: wet himself

"Sir Robin the Not-quite-so-brave-as-Sir-Lancelot,
who slew the vicious Chicken of Bristol and who
personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill."

6. In "Spamalot", what is Sir Galahad's real first name?

Answer: Dennis

His name is changed by the Lady of the Lake and her Laker Girls.

7. Who "comes out" during the show "Spamalot"?

Answer: Lancelot

"Lancelot you might as well just fess up
Really you're a different kind of guy
Move aside your scabbard
For underneath your tabard
There is waiting to escape a butterfly"

8. What is the "final word" according to Patsy in "Spamalot"?

Answer: Death

"For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow"

This is from the song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".

9. Which of these things is NOT mentioned in the list of things that Robin isn't afraid of, according to the song "Brave Sir Robin" in "Spamalot"?

Answer: have his head cracked open

This song was taken almost word for word from the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". He is also apparently not afraid "to be killed in nasty ways", "to be mashed into a pulp", to have "his body burned away, And his limbs all hacked and mangled", to have "His head smashed in and his heart cut out, And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged", at which point Robin diverts attention from the continued list.

10. At the end of "Spamalot", Robin announces that he has found his personal grail. What is it?

Answer: musical theatre

At the end of the show, Robin, dressed in white tie and tails, announces that he has found his grail. Herbert and Lancelot found each other and so did Arthur and the Lady of the Lake. The ensemble encourages everyone to find their own grail.
