Additional information: AUDITIONS FOR "SPAMALOT" AT STAGE WEST CALGARY -
December 15 & 16, 2014:
This notice is for the Calgary auditions only. Toronto auditions will be
scheduled for January.

Contract dates:  March 31 - June 21, 2015

Character Breakdown:
King Arthur - (male, late 30's-60's) The King of England who sets out on
a quest to form the Knights of the Round Table and find the Holy Grail.
Great Humour.  Good singer

Sir Robin - (male, 30's-40's) 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.

Sir Lancelot - (male, 30's-40) A Knight of the Round Table. He is
fearless to a 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,
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 - (male, 30's-40's) King Arthur's horse and servant.
Under-appreciated 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 home town, and the
drunken, useless GUARD 2.

Sir Galahad - (male, 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 Yorkshire 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 - (male, 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.  No solo singing.

The Lady of the Lake - (female, 25-45) - 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.

THE FOLLOWING ROLES ARE ALL PLAYED BY THE SAME ACTOR - (male,
20's-30's): Tenor singing required. Very good mover. Good supporting
role.
Historian - A tweedy academic
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 - In Sir Robin's band Prince Herbert - The hopeful and frilly
prince who loves to sing and pines for his love atop a tower

Ensemble of 8-10 evenly split male/female
