Kate Rockwell (you better have voted for her on NBC’s “Grease: You’re the One That I Want”) starts a two-performance local appearance in New Stage Collective’s concert performance of “The Last Five Years.”  Find info elsewhere at CinStages.com or call the box office at 513-621-3700.

Next up for Rockwell: New York Musical Theatre Festival entry “Tully (In No Particular Order)” running Sept. 20-28. Among Rockwell’s co-stars is another alum of the “Grease” reality show, Austin Miller.

And for something completely different:

Monty Python fans can get spammed tonight at the Victoria Theatre in Dayton – or at least they can buy tickets to the “Spamalot” tour before they go on sale to the general public tomorrow.

Just make Friday date night the Michelob Ultra Cool Film Series at the Victoria. This week’s flick – “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” which inspired the musical (and which provided much material for ripping off.)

Doors open at 5:30, the first 100 patrons to purchase “Spamalot” tickets get free coconut shells for clippity-clopping. The evening will include costume and trivia contests, dashing knights and taunting Frenchmen, free food (rabbit, one can only hope) and a concert on the Mighty Wurlitzer. And of course the movie, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets $4.75 – to the movie. “Spamalot” tickets start at $28.50. The tour plays Dayton’s Schuster Center April 22-27, 2008.
