Music Theatre of Den-ton serves up MontyPython’s Spamalot

with all the trimmings — sillysight gags, dry and lowbrowEnglish humor, and coconut-shell hoof beats — this weekend.

Monty Python was an Eng-lish surrealist comedy sketchgroup that hit it big in Britainand the U.S. The group’s televi-sion series, Monty Python’s Fly-ing Circus, debuted in NorthAmerica in 1970 and main-tained its popularity herethrough the 1980s and beyond,thanks to the series’ syndicationand the films Monty Python andthe Holy Grail (1975) and Life of

Brian (1979), a movie that lam-pooned the New Testament inmuch the same way Holy Graillampooned the grand Britishlegend of King Arthur.

“The musical is inspired byHoly Grail, with references tosome of Monty Python’s belovedsketches,” local director Bill Kir-kley said.

Spamalot won’t be lost onthose uninitiated into the cult ofMonty Python. People who loveBroadway musicals are bound toenjoy the very meta show, saidBrynne Huffman, who sings therole of the Lady in the Lake.

“Honestly, I think the show isspot-on,” Huffman said. “Themusical references all thingsmusical theater. It deals with di-vas, it makes fun of those num-bers that are in every single ma-jor musical,” such as the roman-tic duet between the hero andthe heroine.

Like the artists who createdthe musical, Spamalot takes aim

at the revered Arthurian my-thology. The comic creatorsmake light of a “system of gov-ernment” coming from “strangewomen lying in ponds.” Even thegreat symbol of Christian valorand British military might — thesword Excalibur — seems de-lightfully limp in the musical.

Kirkley has lined up estab-lished and new talent to play thenot-so-noble Knights of theRound Table. Eric Ryan playsthe skittish Sir Robin. KevinWickersham plays the dodder-ing Sir Bedevere, designer ofTrojan rabbits. Sterling Gaffordplays Sir Galahad. Jake Smithplays the role of Sir Lancelot,Bryan Patrick plays the put-up-on Patsy and Ted Minette playsthe role of Arthur.

During their search for theHoly Grail — the cup Arthur’sLord and Savior drank from atthe Last Supper — the knightsencounter snooty French royaltyand the dreaded Knights whosay “Ni.” The knights also meetPrince Herbert, Tim the En-chanter and a French taunter.

Audiences might have toarm-wrestle to settle the ques-tion of which is sillier, Monty Py-thon’s imagining of the Arthuri-an legend, or the larger-than-lifeconventions of musical theater.

There’s something a littleEdith Piaf about Stepha-nie Nilles’ voice, and

something a little unpredictable. Set against the artist’s piano

playing, Nilles’ voice is trem-bling thing. The classicallytrained New Orleans musiciantreats her keyboard the waySteve Albini treats a guitar.Which is to say that Nilles (pro-nounced “nil-less”) conjuressomething more than musicfrom her instrument.

She scrambles a microcosmof the human condition out of it— harsh tones and sweet resolu-tions. On songs such as “Transis-tor,” she beats the keys into afrenzy, but it’s not nonsense —there’s form and rhythm, just de-livered with punk rock attitude.

Denton has a chance to seeNilles on Friday night at theSpellcaster, one of many houseshow venues in town.

“I actually get a thrill havingthe venues be surprises,” saidNilles, 30. “That’s one of thethings I love about my job. Onenight I’ll be in a jazz place where

Charles Mingus used to play,and after the show’s over, thepeople will sit down and drinkwine and talk about CharlesMingus.”

The next night, Nilles mightfind herself in a smoky bar or aprivate living room.

Nilles doesn’t call herself astraight-up jazz pianist. Rather,she borrows jazz improvisationduring shows, dabbling in theharmonics and syncopation in away that honors the form.

The pomp and drama neverleave Nilles’ music completely.She grew up studying piano andcello.

“Singing came much later,”said Nilles, who is doing a one-week tour with Robert SarazinBlake, the headliner for Friday’sshow at the Spellcaster. “I reallydidn’t try to sing at all until I wasabout 17 years old.”

Nilles was studying classicalmusic in college. At the same

time, she started writing narra-tives.

“I started doing some slampoetry,” she said. “And that gotme started with trying things inthe moment in front of an audi-ence. I think any time you take aclassical musician, and you sitdown and say, ‘now play some-thing in C4,’ they freeze. Theyare so accustomed to playing therepertoire that all classical mu-sicians play.

“I just started checking outthe open mic scene in New York,and that was a good move forme, because in that scene, every-one is really supportive, and theyare kind of like, ‘Let's focus onsomething positive.’”

The mix of classical depthand live improvisation clickedfor Nilles.

“I think it ended up beingsomething in my personality,”she said. “I am not the kind ofperson who can sit in a room for

eight hours and then have a fewengagements.”

Barrelhouse is a tag Nillesembraces because it hitches wildtavern piano music with thesingers who established earlyjazz from the 1880s through1930 or so. Think Jelly Roll Mor-ton, Ma Rainey and BessieSmith.

“It’s the music that camefrom places that weren’t respect-able, and the musicians whomade the music were making itaround the prostitutes and thewhorehouses,” she said. “Itwasn’t pretty, but they made aliving.”

Barrelhouse jazz representsthe need to make music, conse-quences be damned, somethingNilles said she’s explored in NewOrleans.

“You can hang out with punkguys and indie guys, but you’llnever get in as much trouble asyou can with jazz musicians,”

Nilles said. Before she landed in New

Orleans, Nilles spent some timein the anti-folk movement inNew York City. Anti-folk musi-cians challenged what they sawas the neutering of folk. Nillesand her peers felt folk music wasbeing watered down to a simpleformula of three-minute acous-tic songs with a singer whodoesn’t cuss and certainlydoesn’t get political.

Nilles doesn’t shy away frompolitics. In fact, her song “Occu-py” is a condemnation of mid-dle-class criticism of the OccupyWall Street movement, andeventually, a protest all its ownagainst hollow demonstration.If you want the world to be dif-ferent, Nilles says, you have tolive differently.

She can just as easily play amazurka, a Polish folk dancethat sounds a bit like a waltz —or perhaps a rondeau that’s beenreframed with earthier materi-als. And whether she’s punkingit up or playing it classical, Nillesgives herself over to it.

Now, she’s exploring formswithout creating crossover.

“There are a lot of people do alot of classical crossover, I think,”Nilles said. “Some of that’s defi-nitely scraping for different waysto pull people in. When the mes-sage doesn’t match the content, Ihave a problem with that. I’ll doan original piece and maybeturn around and play a shortclassical piece.”

OPENING FRIDAY

Non-Stop (★★ 1⁄2) U.S. air marshal

Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a drinker

and a smoker, a sad-eyed man who

doesn’t like to fly, in this solid, work-

manlike action picture that builds

slowly. Somebody is threatening the

150 passengers and crew on Marks’

cellphone, and framing Marks with

the dirty work to his superiors back

on the ground. In the wee hours of

this red eye from New York to Lon-

don, that first text arrives on his

“secure” phone: “In exactly 20 min-

utes, I’m going to kill someone on this

plane.” Marks may have had a nip

from a bottle before boarding, but

he’s sharp enough to observe and

profile every face on the plane.

Orphan director Jaume Collet-Serra

does a little better by Neeson here

than he managed with the identity-

theft thriller Unknown. But tension is

in short supply as we lurch toward

the film’s lulu of a finale. With Ju-

lianne Moore, Michelle Dockery and

Linus Roache. Rated PG-13, 104

minutes. — McClatchy-Tribune News

Service

Omar (★★★ ) This Oscar nominee

for Best Foreign Language Film

follows a young Palestinian man,

Omar (Adam Bakri), as he falls in

league with a terrorist whose sister,

Nadia (Leem Lubany), he wants to

marry. But in his first terrorist act,

Omar is captured by Israelis, who

then use the young man as a double

agent to trap Nadia’s brother. Writer-

director Hany Abu-Assad creates a

perilous situation and then sustains it

with heightened tension. Not rated,

96 minutes. At the Angelika Dallas

and Plano. — Boo Allen

Son of God A film portraying the life

of Jesus, from birth through his

preaching, crucifixion and resur-

rection. With Diogo Morgado, Greg

Hicks and Adrian Schiller. Written by

Nic Young. Directed by Christopher

Spencer. Rated PG-13, 138 minutes. —

Los Angeles Times

NOW PLAYING

About Last Night Two couples

navigate the ups and downs of

modern love and romance in this

remake of the 1986 film of the same

name. With Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy,

Regina Hall and Joy Bryant. Directed

by Steve Pink (Hot Tub Time Ma-

chine). Rated R, 100 minutes. — LAT

American Hustle (★★★ 1⁄2) David

O. Russell co-wrote and directed the

story of Irving Rosenfeld (Christian

Bale), who in 1978, began running

scams with his partner Sydney

Prosser (Amy Adams). Busted by an

FBI agent (Bradley Cooper), the two

then help trap politicians. High-energy

scenes combine with bad hair and

worse costumes for a wild ride.

Jennifer Lawrence burns up the

screen as Irving’s unstable wife.

Rated R, 138 minutes. — B.A.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Con-

tinues — Super-sized R-Rated

Version (★★★ 1⁄2) This alternate cut

of last year’s film includes more than

700 new jokes. Ron Burgundy (Will

Ferrell) gets fired from his job hosting

a morning show, but opportunity

comes in the form of a new 24-hour

news channel. Burgundy heads for

New York, stopping to gather the old

news team from San Diego (David

Koechner, Paul Rudd and Steve

Carell). With Christina Applegate,

James Marsden and Kristen Wiig.

Rated R, 143 minutes. — The Associ-

ated Press

Endless Love A privileged young

woman and a charismatic young man

spark an intense but star-crossed love

affair in this remake of the 1981 movie

of the same name. With Alex Pettyfer,

Gabriella Wilde and Robert Patrick.

Directed and co-written by Shana

Feste (Country Strong). PG-13, 105

minutes. — LAT

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

(★★ 1⁄2) In this Jack Ryan reboot, Chris

Pine takes over as Tom Clancy’s CIA

analyst. Inspired by Sept. 11, Ryan joins

the Marines and is heroically injured

in Afghanistan. During his recovery,

he meets his eventual fiancee (Keira

Knightley) and is lured to the CIA by a

mysterious recruiter (Kevin Costner).

Director-actor Kenneth Branagh

endows his film with (mostly) old-

fashioned competency but little to

distinguish it from superior thrillers

that have come before. Rated PG-13,

105 minutes. — AP

The Lego Movie (★★★★ ) There

are so many things to like about The

Lego Movie: a great voice cast, clever

dialogue and a handsome blend of

stop-motion and CGI animation that

feels lovingly retro, while still looking

sharp in 21st-century 3-D. Set in a

world built entirely of Legos, the story

revolves around construction worker

Emmet Brickowski (voice of Chris

Pratt), who must join forces with a

group of rebels to stop the evil Lord

Business (Will Ferrell). With the

voices of Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth

Banks and Will Arnett. Rated PG, 94

minutes. — The Washington Post

Lone Survivor (★★ 1⁄2) Mark Wahl-

berg stars in this true story of four

Navy SEALS in Afghanistan in 2005

on a mission to find and eliminate a

Taliban leader. When the squad is

reduced to one (hence the title), he

finds refuge in an unlikely place. The

standard action flick accentuates the

bravery of the squad, but co-writer

and director Peter Berg never raises

his film beyond routine adventure

material. With Eric Bana, Emile Hirsch,

Ben Foster and Taylor Kitsch. Rated R,

121 minutes. — B.A.

The Monuments Men (★★ )

George Clooney stars in this World

Casablanca in 20 cities, and Dallas is among them. Director Michael Curtiz’s wartime

romance screens at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Angelika Dallas, 5321 E. Mockingbird Lane. In

Award nominations, and won for best picture, best director and best screenplay.

and co-wrote, with Grant Heslov,

from Robert Edsel and Bret Witter’s

nonfiction book. Clooney heads a

team of aging art experts who identi-

mented film never gathers mo-

Philomena (★★★ 1⁄2) In director

Stephen Frears’ film, Judi Dench plays

the title character, an Irish woman

who decides to try and find the son

she lost to adoption 50 years ago,

when he was snatched away by nuns.

Infuriating but at times inspirational

film captures the pain of loss suffered

by a mother. Based on the book by

utes. — B.A.

That Awkward Moment (★★ 1⁄2)

This chatty romantic comedy in the

modern mode — rude, nude and

crude — has some funny, writerly

riffs on relationships and how to

avoid them. But the movie, like star

Zac Efron and writer-director Tom

Gormican, never lets us forget that

it’s trying too hard. Efron, Miles Teller

(The Spectacular Now) and Michael

B. Jordan (Fruitvale Station) play

three New York pals who vow, when

one is dumped by his wife, to stay

single and enjoy the mingling. Which

all of them ignore. Rated R, 94 min-

3 Days to Kill (★★★ ) Kevin Costner

and director McG are plunged into the

madcap mayhem of Luc Besson’s

a veteran CIA agent diagnosed with

cancer. But his new control agent, a

vamp named ViVi (Amber Heard),

wants him to finish one last massacre

— taking out a nuclear arms dealer

and his associates in Paris. The

carrot? She has an experimental drug

that might give Ethan longer to live.

And that could mean more time with

his estranged wife (Connie Nielsen)

and daughter (Hailee Steinfeld). Daft

and sloppy as it is, 3 Days rarely fails

to entertain. — MCT

MOVIESContinued from Page 7

Turn a couple of skepticsloose with a camera and a hare-brained theory and the resultmight be something like Tim’sVermeer, an engaging new doc-umentary from magicians Pennand Teller. The duo uses nosleight-of-hand, however, intheir quest to uncover how the17th-century Dutch painter Jo-hannes Vermeer created hisstriking masterpieces, filled withluminous details created by hisfamous “painting with light.”

The theory examined by di-rector Teller (he’s the silent one)and his producing, narratingand writing partner Penn Jillettegained momentum with Britishartist David Hockney and artistand scholar Philip Steadman.Their theory then takes rootwith San Antonio-based inven-tor Tim Jenison, and togetherthey explain their belief that Ver-meer took advantage of then-current technological devices,such as the camera obscura,which might have then givenway to the use of various optics.

Fortunately for this film, Je-

nison has enough personalwealth to allow him the expenseand time to travel to Vermeer’sHolland for research and toEngland to talk to Hockney andSteadman, as well as dropping

in on the queen (not seen) for aprivate viewing of Vermeer’s TheMusic Lesson.

Back in Texas, Jenison takesmonths to recreate Vermeer’sroom, mix the paints like Ver-

meer did, and even manufacturehis own optic lens. Once ready,he spends more agonizingmonths to paint The Music Les-son, using the techniques theyall believe Vermeer used. TheDutch painter was revered forhis striking, realistic paintingsthat introduced light in waysthat had never been done before.

The process is a tedious one,made cinematically palatable byTeller’s short-hand storytellingand by an acknowledged need tokeep his film relatively brief.Eventually, it becomes a ques-tion of who had greater patience,Jenison or Vermeer?

The final product may, ormay not, persuade skeptics, butPenn and Teller have providedfurther discussion by assertingthat an artist is not “cheating”when using what is simply at hisdisposal.

COVER STORY

Karen Meredith said the time hascome to throw a bigger MardiGras party than the bash her

downtown bar and grill, Sweetwater, hashosted for the last five years.

“For a while now, Mardi Gras has beenan event that I’ve done with the VintageJazz Society on the patio here at Sweet-water,” Meredith said. “A lot of the MainStreet merchants have wanted to make ita bigger deal. I think the city got tired ofhearing us talk about it.”

The result: Mardi Gras on Walnut, afree, family-friendly party on Fridaynight.

Meredith said the city saw an opportu-nity in having a local Mardi Gras partyfanning out from the patio of SweetwaterGrill & Tavern: The event could give thecity more information on the possibilityof converting Walnut Street into a pedes-trian strip, making it off-limits to vehicles.

“They told us, ‘Show us what you cando,’” Meredith said. “So this is a party anda dry run of possibly closing Walnut. As itis, Walnut is mostly our delivery alley.”

Mardi Gras is a party flowing withrich food, drink and spectacle to markthe end of Epiphany and the last hurrahbefore Lent, the Christian season of fast-ing, prayer and discipline leading up toEaster. South America and Europe cele-brate Carnival, and the most famousNorth American observance is in NewOrleans.

Sweetwater has been one of Denton’smost reliable downtown venues for livejazz, and the city isn’t hurting for Dixie-land jazz.

“It’s always been a good event forSweetwater,” Meredith said. “It’s alwaysone of our biggest sales events.”

For Friday, more than a dozen boothswill offer Denton Community Marketshopping, face painting, mask-makingand Cajun-style food, including boiledcrawfish, etouffee, Louisiana meat pies,

beignets and Mardi Gras-inspired icecream sundaes. Beth Marie’s Old-Fash-ioned Ice Cream & Soda Fountain willscoop ice cream bearing names such asKing Cake, Bourbon Street and WobblyMonkey.

Jugglers from the local group Juggling& Flow Arts, dancers and other streetperformers will add a unique Denton flairto the celebration. In cooperation withthis event, select downtown businesses

will extend their hours.The Mardi Gras contests — masks,

costumes and mini-wagon floats — arefor adults and children. (Wagon floats aredecorated, pullable wagons or carts nolonger than 6 feet in length. Contestantsshould decorate in New Orleans style.)

Local businesses are supplying“krewes” — groups that participate inMardi Gras and Carnival parades, usuallyin lavish costumes and floats.

Live Dixieland music starts up on theoutdoor main stage at 7 p.m., in the centerof Walnut Street, with Ron & the Row-dies, followed by Le Not So Hot Klub duDenton performing gypsy jazz, andWoody’s Rampage performing zydeco.The block will be open for dancing until 11p.m.

Inside Sweetwater, at the corner ofWalnut and Elm Street, Dixieland jazzwill fire up at 6:30 p.m., with Strictly Dix-ie, Vintage Jazz Society and the Fat

Dallas Morning News

Throw me something, mister! You can’t celebrate Fat Tuesday without shiny purple, gold and green beads. Come get yours at Mardi Gras on Walnut in
