In a press statement, Dennis said, "As a kid I was always a massive fan of Monty Python so when Spamalot came to town I thought I'd really love to be in that. And now I'm excited that I'm actually not just in it, but playing the lead role. I'm really looking forward to always looking on the bright side of life!"
Davis will join the company Sept. 23 to play Patsy through Oct. 19. He started his career playing the role of Wicket the Ewok in "Star Wars VI: Return of The Jedi" and went on to star in the fantasy feature film "Willow."

In a press statement, he said, "I'm delighted to be making my West End debut at the Playhouse Theatre. I've been in hit TV shows and blockbuster Hollywood movies, but you are never really taken seriously as an actor until you've done a play. That's why I jumped at the opportunity to play Patsy in Spamalot."
