SHOW INFO
PLOT SUMMARY
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL,
Monty Python’s SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round
Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and
French people. Did we mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls? The 2005 Broadway production
won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End
runs. The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady
of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the
bright side of life.”
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Roles are open to performers of all races, gender identities, and body types. Please note that the ages listed just serve as a guide. All roles are available, and casting is open. Newcomers are welcome and encouraged. Character doublings are only suggested here and may change based on audition results and production needs.
AUDITION SIDES: https://bit.ly/HSACSpamalotSides
KING ARTHUR — To play late 30s-60s (Vocal Range: Baritone)
The King of England who sets out on a quest to form the Knights of the Round Table and find the Holy Grail. Great Humor. Good singer.
SIR ROBIN — To play 30s-40s (Vocal Range: Tenor/Baritone)
A Knight of the Round Table. Ironically called ‘Sir Robin the Brave,’ though he couldn’t be more cowardly. Joins the Knights for the singing and dancing. Also plays GUARD 1 and BROTHER MAYNARD, a long-winded monk.
SIR LANCELOT — To play 30s-40s (Vocal Range: Tenor/Baritone)
A Knight of the Round Table. He is fearless to a bloody fault but through a twist of fate, does discover his ‘softer side.’ This actor MUST be great with character voices and accents, as he also plays THE FRENCH TAUNTER, an arrogant, condescending, over-the-top Frenchman, the KNIGHT OF NI, an absurd, cartoonish leader of a peculiar group of Knights, and TIM THE ENCHANTER, a ghostly being with a Scottish accent.
PATSY — To play 30s-40s (Vocal Range: Tenor/Baritone)
King Arthur’s horse and servant. Underappreciated but always longing for King Arthur’s approval. Good, funny, physical mover with some tap dancing. Also plays MAYOR, a jolly red-faced man who advertises the merits of his hometown and the drunken, useless GUARD 2.
SIR GALAHAD — To play 20s-30s (Vocal Range: Tenor/Baritone)
A Knight of the Round Table. Begins as Dennis, a lower class ‘mud gatherer’ who becomes Knighted and transforms into the dashing Sir Galahad. Also plays PRINCE HERBERT’S FATHER, a wealthy, brutish Yorkshireman man at odds with his sensitive son, THE BLACK KNIGHT who is always ready to duel despite multiple injuries. Strong bari-tenor singing required.
SIR BEDEVERE — To play 30s-40s
A Knight of the Round Table. An inept scholar. Also plays DENNIS GALAHAD’S MOTHER, a shrill peasant woman, and CONCORDE, Sir Lancelot’s horse. No solo singing.
THE LADY OF THE LAKE — To play 20s-30s (Vocal Range: wide-range Soprano E3-B5)
A Diva. Strong, beautiful, possesses mystical powers. The leading lady of the show. Great singing voice is essential, as she must be able to sing effortlessly in many styles and vocal registers.
THE FOLLOWING ROLES ARE PLAYED BY THE SAME ACTOR — to play 20s-30s (Vocal Range: Tenor) Very good mover.
HISTORIAN — A tweedy academic.
NOT DEAD FRED — A sickly little fellow who, despite others’ beliefs, claims he is “not yet dead.”
FRENCH GUARD — The condemnatory French sidekick to the French Taunter.
MINSTREL — In Sir Robin’s band.
PRINCE HERBERT — The hopeful and frilly prince who loves to sing and pines for his love atop a tower.
