MEN King Arthur (male baritone 45 – 55 lead) The King of England who sets out on a quest to form the Knights of the Roundtable and find the Holy Grail. Great humor. Sir Robin (male baritone 30 – 45 lead) 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 plays Guard 1 and Brother Maynard, a long-winded monk. Sir Lancelot (male baritone 30 – 45 lead) A Knight of the Roundtable. He is fearless to a bloody fault, but does discover his “softer side.” Must be great with character voices and accents – 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 baritone 25 – 45 supporting) 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 (male tenor 21 – 35 supporting) A Knight of the Roundtable. 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, The Black Knight, who is always ready to duel despite multiple injuries. Sir Bedevere (male baritone 32 – 47 supporting) A Knight of the Roundtable. An inept scholar. Also plays Dennis Galahad’s Mother, a shrill peasant woman, and Concorde, Sir Lancelot’s horse. Prince Herbert (male tenor 21 – 35 supporting) Hopeful and frilly prince. Loves to sing. Pines for his love. Also plays; Historian: A tweedy academic. Not Dead Fred: A sickly fellow. French Guard: Condemnatory French sidekick to the French Taunter. Minstrel: In Sir Robin’s band. Very good mover.
WOMEN The Lady of the Lake (female alto 25 – 45 lead) 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. ENSEMBLE 6 Men Strong Singers, Dancers and comedic actors playing various parts 6 Women Strong Singers, Dancers and comedic actresses playing various parts
