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.
