BREAKDOWN
SEEKING:
[KING ARTHUR] Male, late 40s-60s. The King of England who sets out on a quest to form the Knights of the Roundtable and find the Holy Grail. Noble but not the brightest. Great Humor. Baritone. PRINCIPAL.
[SIR ROBIN] Male, 30s-40s. A Knight of the Roundtable. Ironically called “Sir Robin the Brave,” though he couldn’t be more cowardly. Loves musical theatre and joins the Knights for the singing and dancing. Sings a patter song, “You Won’t Succeed on Broadway.” Also plays GUARD 1 and BROTHER MAYNARD, a long-winded monk. Baritone/Baritenor. PRINCIPAL. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
[SIR LANCELOT] Male, 30s-40s. A Knight of the Roundtable. He is fearless to a bloody fault but through a twist of fate, does discover his “softer side.” 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. Baritone or Tenor. PRINCIPAL.
[PATSY] Male, 30s-40s. 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 home town, and the drunken, useless GUARD 2. Baritone. PRINCIPAL. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
[SIR GALAHAD] Male, 30s. A Knight of the Roundtable. 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 Broadway baritenor with falsetto. PRINCIPAL. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
[SIR BEDEVERE] Male, 20s-40s. A Knight of the Roundtable. An inept scholar with a flatulence problem. Also plays DENNIS GALAHAD’S MOTHER, a shrill peasant woman, and CONCORDE, Sir Lancelot's horse. Baritone or tenor, no solo singing. PRINCIPAL. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
[THE LADY OF THE LAKE] Female, 20s-40s. 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 (ranging from pop, jazz scatting, opera and musical theatre); strong high belter with soprano mix. PRINCIPAL. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
[HISTORIAN/NOT DEAD FRED/PRINCE HERBERT] Male, 20s-30s. One facile, comic to play the following roles – HISTORIAN: A tweedy academic narrator. 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: An outspoken singer in Sir Robin’s band. PRINCE HERBERT: The hopeful and frilly prince who loves to sing and pines for his love atop a tower. Strong Tenor singing. An excellent mover and adept with physical comedy. PRINCIPAL. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
