All Roles Open
KING ARTHUR:
(Late 40s to 60s) The King of England who is on a quest to establish the Knights of the Round Table and find the Holy Grail. Strong male actor with an easy comedic manner and a good
singing voice.
SIR ROBIN:
(40s) A Knight of the Round Table ironically called “Sir Robin the Brave” though couldn't be more cowardly. Joins the Knights for the singing and dancing. Also plays GUARD 1 and BROTHER MAYNARD, a long winded monk.
SIR LANCELOT:
(30s to 40s) A Knight of the Round Table. He is fearless to a bloody fault but through a twist of fate, does discover his "softer side". This actor MUST be great with character voices and accents, as he also plays THE FRENCH TAUNTER, an arrogant, condescending, overthe-top Frenchman, the KNIGHT OF NI, and absurd, cartoonish leader of a peculiar group of Knights, and TIM THE ENCHANTER, a ghostly being with a Scottish accent.
PATSY:
(30s to 50s) 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 hometown and the drunken, useless GUARD 2.
SIR GALAHAD:
(30s) A Knight of the Round Table. 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, and THE BLACK KNIGHT who is always ready to duel despite multiple injuries. Strong bari-tenor singing required.
SIR BEDEVERE:
(30s to 50s) A Knight of the Round Table. An inept scholar. Also plays DENNIS GALAHAD'S MOTHER, a shrill peasant woman, and CONCORDE, Sir Lancelot's horse.
THE LADY OF THE LAKE:
(late 20s to 30s) 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. Seeking actresses of all races for this role.
CHARACTER ACTOR MALE:
(20s to 30s) Tenor singing required. Very good mover. Plays the following roles: HISTORIAN, a tweedy academic, NOT DEAD FRED, a sickly little fellow who, despite other's beliefs, claims he is "not yet dead", FRENCH GUARD, the condemnatory French sidekick to the French Taunter, MINSTREL in Sir Robin's band, and PRINCE HERBERT, the hopeful and frilly prince who sings and pines for his love atop a tower.
