An evening of Monty Python musical numbers and sketches will be presented in Hollywood and Manhattan this fall.

The Los Angeles Times reports that An Evening Without Monty Python will play Hollywood's Ricardo Montalban Theatre Sept. 23-Oct. 4 and Manhattan's Town Hall Oct. 6-10.

Eric Idle and B.T. McNichol will direct a cast that includes Hank Azaria, Jane Leeves, Alan Tudyk, Rick Holmes and Jim Piddock.
