The five remaining members of Monty Python will have a series of ten reunion shows entitled "The Last Night of Monty Python," between July 1 and July 20 at London's O2 Arena. Aubrey Powell, the legendary director, will direct the group's first live performance together on stage in five years. Their fans must have missed them a great deal, as tickets were quickly sold out.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that Picturehouse Entertainment will air the final live performance in 1,500 cinemas all over the globe, with 450 movie theaters to broadcast it live in the U.K. This means that fans of the group from other countries will be able to watch Monty Python's reunion live performance, likely to be the last for the group together.

Monty Python has six main members, but only five will be performing at this show; Graham Chapman, the sixth member, died in 1989. The five surviving members are John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones.

Cleese declared, during a press conference, that fans can expect a few new materials and their old classics like Dead Parrot and Crunchy Frog, but with a new twist. He further said they do not want their show to be very predictable, as it will mean their audience know more of the scripts than they. However, they will be doing versions of their unforgettable sketches and skits with their well-known and influential brand of idiosyncratic humor.

The comedy group released 45 episodes in BBC Flying Circus series that was aired from 1969 up to 1974. They also became well-known for popular comedy films like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975), "Life of Brian" (1979) and "The Meaning of Life" (1983).

The last live performance of Monty Python was at the Hollywood Bowl in 1980.
