"Spamalot" tells the legendary tale of King Arthur’s quest to find the Holy Grail. However, diverting a bit from the usual story, this hilarious musical features such oddities as a line of beautiful dancing girls, the Knights who say Ni and killer rabbits. Outside there is plague with a 50% chance of pestilence and famine. Throughout the show Arthur, traveling with his servant Patsy, recruits several knights to accompany him on his quest, including Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot and Sir Galahad.
Auditions will be from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. July 13 and from 12-5 p.m. July 14. If needed, callbacks will be from 7-10 p.m. July 15.
Most of the actors in Spamalot will play multiple roles. These roles may not necessarily correspond with the gender or age of the actor. English, Scottish, and/or French accents are a plus.
The show will require a dance corps that does not necessarily need to sing. Auditionees for the dance corps should sign up for an audition time in the first hour of each audition day. They will be taught a more difficult dance combination then the actors and will be given the option of performing a song or monologue or simply vocalizing with the music director.
All actors must be at least 18 years old.
