Turns out, the dream lives on: the comedy group’s final show on July 20 will be broadcast simultaneously to 450 movie theaters in the UK and another 1,500 around the world, reports The _Guardian._ Fans in the U.S., Australia, Sweden, Russia, Poland and more will all get a chance to see the remaining Pythons perform together for the last time. The group last performed all together – along with their sixth original member, Graham Chapman, who died in 1989 – at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in 1980\.
