AUDITIONS: RED BANK COMPANY TO HOLD AUDITIONS FOR PONTY PYTHON’S “SPAMALOT”

AUDITION NOTICE

SpamalotSPAMALOT

WHEN: Saturday, September 13, 1 PM-4 PM; Monday and Tuesday, September 15, and 16,  7 PM – 9 PM.
WHERE:
Phoenix Rehearsal Center, 111 Monmouth Street at the corner of Pearl Street and right next door to the Count Basie Theatre.

All roles are open for this revival of the award-winning Broadway musical which will open at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank in mid-November. 

The show will be directed by Gary Shaffer with musical direction by Bob Sammond and choreography by James Steele.

Spamalot is an irreverently hysterical musical comedy "lovingly ripped off from" the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, with many roles for men from 30 to 50 years of age. 

The director is looking for people with excellent comic timing who can move well, with the ability to do accents a plus. Most of the roles are character voices and the ability to be funny supersedes vocal and dance skills.

  • Those auditioning are asked to prepare 16 to 32 bars of an uptempo song, preferably a comic number.
  • Bring your own sheet music.
  • An accompanist will be provided.
  • be prepared for a dance audition which will range from light movement exercise to strong tap, depending on role. Gymnastic ability is a plus.
