Always look on the bright side of life
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty
Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his
Knights of the Round Table. This hilarious musical sticks close to the original
legend*, but features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows,
killer rabbits, and French people.
FRC is proud to present one of the country’s first
non-professional productions of Monty Python’s Spamalot! With numbers like
“The Song That Goes Like Thisâ€
and “Always Look on the
Bright Side of Lifeâ€, this
Tony Award winner for Best Musical will have you rolling in the aisles (and did
we mention the bevy of beautiful show girls?)*No it doesn't.
We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and spam
a lot!
Audition Location
Auditions are held at the Beddington Heights Community
Arts Centre.
