9th – 12th May 2018

Charter Theatre, Preston

Get your coconuts ready – Monty Python’s Spamalot rides into The Charter Theatre in May 2018 (May 9th – 12th) and this amazing, witty, silly musical is looking for a cast.

Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur’s quest to find the Holy Grail. Inspired by the classic comedy film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the musical also diverts a bit from more traditional versions of the legend. Instead, Spamalot features shenanigans including a line of beautiful dancing girls, flatulent Frenchmen, and killer rabbits. Outside, there is plague with a 50% chance of pestilence and famine. Throughout the show, Arthur, traveling with his servant Patsy, recruits several knights to accompany him on his quest, including Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad. Besides the rabbits and farting Frenchman, they meet such characters as the Lady of the Lake, Prince Herbert, Tim the Enchanter, Not Dead Fred, the Black Knight, and the Knights who say Ni.

Songs from the show include:

Finland/Fisch Slapping Dance
The Song That Goes This
Knights of the Round Table
You Won’t Succeed on Broadway
His Name Is Lancelot
You Won’t Succeed on Broadway
and
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
