Monty Python announces greatest hits reunion show
The five surviving members of the British comedy troupe Monty Python announced at a Thursday press conference they will perform together on stage in 2014 for the first time in more than 30 years.
John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin revealed their reunion on Thursday morning at the Playhouse Theatre in London and said the performance would be a one-off greatest hits show to be held in London's O2 stadium on July 1. They also plan to include some new material.
Though the show is currently billed as a single event, at the press conference Palin and Jones both said they'd be interested in touring if the show is successful.
The last time the Pythons performed together on stage was at the Hollywood Bowl in September 1980. They haven't performed together on stage in the UK in 40 years, according to the BBC.
