BrightSide Theatre to Stage SPAMALOT
BrightSide Theatre, Naperville's only professional theatre performing in the historic downtown district, presents the perfect finale to our 5th Anniversary Season with the outrageous musical comedy featuring the song that gave BrightSide Theatre its namesake and is lovingly ripped off from the motion picture "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"- Spamalot. Spamalot will perform at the Theatre at Meiley-Swallow Hall at North Central College, 31 S. Ellsworth Street in Naperville June 3-19, 2016. Tickets are on sale now at www.brightsidetheatre.com, or by phone at 630-447-TIXS (8497). The press performance is Friday, June 3 at 8pm.
A talented ensemble of actors from the Chicagoland Area make up the Cast of Spamalot: Abby Boegh, Mark Johnson and Genna Marie Walden (Naperville);Julie Bayer (Batavia); Mik Dempsey (Aurora); Josh Durham (Darien); Matt Gibson (Lombard); Ryan Breig and Eric Hansen (Bolingbrook); Connor Hernandez (Glen Ellyn); Scott Kelly (Schaumburg); Rob Sorensen (Clarendon Hills); Andrew Taylor Swanson (Downers Grove) and Alexis Aker, Kraig Kelsey, Barbara Kosiek, Sierra Schnack and Amanda Walsh (Chicago).
Spamalot is the hysterically irreverent musical that tells the tale of King Arthur being instructed by God Himself to gather his Knights of the Round Table and find the Holy Grail. It features a bevy of beautiful showgirls, not to mention flying cows, killer rabbits, flatulent Frenchmen, one legless knight and several show-stopping musical numbers including "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" and "The Song That Goes Like This". Labeled as one of the greatest Broadway Musicals of the modern age you'll be in stitches as you watch the Knights of the Round Table go on this ultimate and unforgettable quest only as Monty Python can provide as they search for the Holy Grail.
