CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS:
Spamalot
KING ARTHUR
(Baritone, Late 30s-60s)
The King of England, who sets out on a
quest to form the Knights of the Round Table and find the Holy Grail. Great humor.
Good singer.
THE LADY OF THE LAKE
(Alto with large range, 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. Sings everything from opera to pop to scatting. Gets angry easily.
SIR ROBIN
(Tenor/Baritone, 30s-40s)
A Knight of the Round Table. Ironically called
"Sir Robin the Brave," though he couldn't be more cowardly. Joins the Knights for the
singing and dancing. Also plays GUARD 1 and BROTHER MAYNARD, a long-winded
monk. A good mover.
SIR LANCELOT
(Tenor/Baritone, 30s-40s)
A Knight of the Round Table. He is fearless
to a bloody fault but through a twist of fate discovers his "softer side." This actor MUST
be 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.
PATSY
(Tenor/Baritone, 30s-40s)
King Arthur's horse and servant. Under-appreciated
but always longing for 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. Very good mover. Tap skills a bonus.
SIR GALAHAD
(Tenor, 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 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
(Tenor/Baritone with falsetto, 20s-40s)
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.
HISTORIAN/NOT DEAD FRED/ PRINCE HERBERT/ MINSTREL/ FRENCH GUARD
(Tenor, 20s-30s)
A tweedy academic. Also plays NOT DEAD FRED, a sickly little fellow who -- despite others' beliefs -- claims he is "not yet dead"; a FRENCH GUARD, the condemnatory sidekick to the French Taunter; a MINSTREL in Sir Robin's band; and PRINCE HERBERT, the hopeful and frilly prince who loves to sing and pines for his love atop a tower. Tenor singing required. Very good mover.
MALE ENSEMBLE
Seeking singer/dancers and singers to play many roles including the other Knights of the Round Table, Sir Not Appearing, Sir Bohrs, Bodies in “Not Yet Dead," the Dancing Monk, the Dancing Nun, French Citizens, Finland Citizens, a French Guard, Robin's Minstrel, and more! Strong dance skills preferred; tap skills a
bonus.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
Seeking strong dancers and singers to play many roles including the Camelot Girls, the Laker Girls, a French Guard, Knights of Ni, two of Robin's Minstrels, French Citizens, Finland Citizens, and more! Strong dance skills necessary.
Peter and the Starcatcher
Black Stache
A notorious pirate, terrorizing the seven seas in search of a worthy adversary. Heartless, hirsute, and suspiciously well read. Partial to the poetical and theatrical, which causes him to behave quite flamboyantly.
Molly Aster
A young girl and Starcatcher apprentice who is taken aboard the Neverland as precious cargo. Curious and intelligent, she is only beginning to understand the confusing romantic longings that come with her age. She will risk anything for the sake of what is right.
Age: 13 to 25
Boy/peter
A lonely and hardened orphan who doesn't miss much. Nameless, homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play and a hero by
the end. He wants a home and a family more than anything, and dreams of a life of being free.
Age: 13 to 25
Grempkin (Fighting Prawn/Mack/Sanchez)
The schoolmaster of St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost Boys. Mean and malodorous, he revels in keeping his boys in the dark and
malnourished. Doublings include:
FIGHTING PRAWN; MACK; SÁNCHEZ.
Age: 40 to 60
Mrs. Bumbrake
Molly's nanny, a stereotypical British cad and outfitted with the duty of teaching Molly about womanhood. She still has enough charm in her
age to attract a sailor or two. Optional Doubling as TEACHER. This role is played by a male presenting actor.
Age: 40 to 60
Bill Slank
The vicious orphaned captain of the Neverland. Does not possess the capacity to lead anyone but himself, which puts himself constantly in disaster. Greedy enough to send boys to their doom for the chance of gaining starstuff. Optional Doubling as HAWKING CLAM.
Age: 35 to 55
Smee
Black Stache's first mate. He is single-mindedly dedicated to his captain's every whim.
Age: 25 to 50
Prentiss
An orphan, ambitious, hyper articulate, and logical. He yearns to be leader, even when he knows in his heart that he'll never be one. A bit
of a blowhard with a touch of cowardice.
Age: 13 to 25
Alf
A seafarer, an old sea dog proud of his tenure. His kind heart gives him an appeal to the feminine sensibility.
Age: 50 to 65
Lord Leonard Aster
Molly's father, a loyal subject to the Queen. The very model of a Victorian English gentleman, he is a faithful friend and a secret Starcatcher.
Age: 40 to 60
Captain Robert Falcon Scott
Lord Aster's old school friend, the captain of the Wasp, Britain's fastest frigate. Lives with nautical bravura and heroic patriotism.
Age: 35 to 45
Ted
An orphan obsessed with food. A natural performer with easy wit and quite poetic language.
Age: 13 to 25
