<strong><br></strong>

<div class="default-style">
Note: We will most likely be following the original production’s role tracks, where some performers will be asked to play multiple roles through the production.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
KING ARTHUR (Late 30s-60s.): The King of England who sets out on a quest to form the Knights of the Roundtable and find the Holy Grail. Great Humor. Good singer.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
SIR ROBIN (30s-40s): A Knight of the Roundtable. Ironically called ‘Sir Robin the Brave,’ though he couldn’t be more cowardly. Joins the Knights for the singing and dancing. Also may play GUARD 1 and BROTHER MAYNARD, a long-winded monk.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
SIR LANCELOT (30s-40): A Knight of the Roundtable. 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 may play 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.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
PATSY (30s-40s): King Arthur’s horse and servant. Underappreciated but always longing for King Arthur’s approval. Good, funny, physical mover with some tap dancing. Also may play MAYOR, a jolly red-faced man who advertises the merits of his home town and the drunken, useless GUARD 2.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
SIR GALAHAD (30s): A Knight of the Roundtable. Begins as Dennis, a lower class ‘mud gatherer’ who becomes Knighted and transforms into the dashing Sir Galahad. Also may play PRINCE HERBERT’S FATHER, a wealthy, brutish Yorkshireman man at odds with his sensitive son, THE BLACK KNIGHT who is always ready to duel despite multiple injuries. Strong bari-tenor singing required.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
SIR BEDEVERE (20s-40s): A Knight of the Roundtable. An inept scholar. Also may play DENNIS GALAHAD’S MOTHER, a shrill peasant woman, and CONCORDE, Sir Lancelot’s horse. No solo singing.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
THE LADY OF THE LAKE (20s+):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. Especially seeking actresses of all races for this role.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
THE FOLLOWING ROLES ARE PLAYED BY THE SAME ACTOR (20s-30s): Tenor singing required. Very good mover. 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.
