What an interesting cast! I love that Merle is coming back to the role, and that Eric Idle plays the narrator. Warwick Davis and Craig Robinson I think are the most unexpected bits of casting. Has anyone ever heard Warwick sing? Also, I love the race-blind casting of King Arthur, but I never would have thought of Craig Robinson for a role like that. I'd be curious to hear how he does.
I think it's an inspired bit of not just color blind but type blind casting. Robinson is funny, but he's the funny straight man, not the clown. Putting him in the play's straight man role may bring some new element to it.
Warwick played the role in London and was very good.
"Carson has combined his passion for helping children with his love for one of Cincinnati's favorite past times - cornhole - to create a unique and exciting event perfect for a corporate outing, entertaining clients or family fun."
They haven't named Lancelot yet, and his track is the real starring role. I wonder if they're getting a veteran, or courting a big name for that one...
With their Lady of the Lake, they seem to have broken the apparent Bowl tradition of casting big movie actresses/pop stars as the leading gal. I didn't see her performance, but I remember being floored that Jessica Biel was Sarah in their Guys and Dolls.
