BWW Photo Exclusive: First Look at BCP's SPAMALOT, Opening This Saturday
Get ready to roll in the aisles as Bergen County Players (BCP) ushers in the 2017-2018 season with a side-splitting production of SPAMALOT, adapted from the classic 1975 cult film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The show starts its run tomorrow, September 16, and runs through October 14. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Directed by veteran BCP member Jacqueline Poquette of Westwood, the musical opens following a full summer of renovations at the Little Firehouse Theatre at 298 Kinderkamack Road in Oradell. New seats have been installed, and the theater's interior and lobby have been completely refurbished.
BCP's SPAMALOT is true to the original script of the show with a multitude of shenanigans. It tells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they follow God's orders to find the Holy Grail. It features 11 production numbers along with gallant, and not so gallant knights, show girls, show boys, cows, killer rabbits, flatulent Frenchmen and clapping coconuts, added in for sound effects.
Eric Idle, a member of the comedy group Monty Python, wrote the lyrics and book to SPAMALOT, with music by John Du Prez, Idle and Neil Innes. The original 2005 Broadway production, directed by Mike Nichols, won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical of the season and received 14 Tony Award nominations. During its initial run of more than 1,500 performances, it was seen my more than two million people.
Curtain call for Fridays and Saturdays is 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. There will be no performances on September 29 and 30. Tickets may be purchased online at www.bcplayers.org, by calling 201-261-4200 or by visiting the box office of the theater during regular box office hours.
