BREAKDOWN

SPAMALOT

Casting Note: Seeking comedic musical theatre performers of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, ages, sizes, physicalities and abilities, with excellent British accents and deft wit.

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.

[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 most. Sings a patter song, “You Won’t Succeed on Broadway.” Doubles as GUARD 1 and BROTHER MAYNARD, a long-winded monk. Baritone/Baritenor.

[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. Doubles as 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.

[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. Doubles as MAYOR, a jolly red-faced man who advertises the merits of his hometown, and the drunken, useless GUARD 2. Baritone.

[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. Doubles as PRINCE HERBERT’S FATHER, a wealthy, brutish Yorkshireman at odds with his sensitive son, THE BLACK KNIGHT who is always ready to duel despite multiple injuries. Strong Broadway baritenor with falsetto.

[SIR BEDEVERE] Male, 20s-40s. A Knight of the Roundtable. An inept scholar with a flatulence problem. Doubles as DENNIS GALAHAD’S MOTHER, a shrill peasant woman, and CONCORDE, Sir Lancelot's horse. Baritone or tenor.

[THE LADY OF THE LAKE] Female, 30s-40s. A Diva. Strong, beautiful, possesses mystical powers. The leading lady of the show. Great singing voice, 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.

[HISTORIAN/NOT DEAD FRED/PRINCE HERBERT] Male, 20s-30s. 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 required. An excellent mover and adept with physical comedy.
