SPAMALOT To Play The St James This Fall — Page 12

I wonder if they would Brightman with Liam Murrray Scott, who played the role in the West End and Toronto; Or just bump up a standby to finish out the run. 

Looks like we'll be getting the Lancelot casting announcement soon:

I still don’t believe it’s Brightman. Why would they play this game the whole time just to end up revealing it was the same guy all along. 

Plus, SPAMALOT was pulled together quickly and out of necessity due to Spider Woman getting yanked, so I can’t imagine Brightman was planning a long term run in a musical so quickly after Beetlejuice and especially since The Shark is Broken is already an exhausting role for him. 

Nice work if you can get it and all that, but from interviews I’ve seen, it sounded like he really wants a break, but SPAMALOT fell into his lap and then SHARK during the SPAMALOT’s run, so I can totally see him finishing out with SHARK and then taking a break. It doesn’t mean he won’t join later on if they have someone for the short term (like INTO THE WOODS) since they are running through at least April and probably June

I believe that they have a star for Lancelot till Shark closes if you look on Twitter someone part of the production team said …that a first Lancelot will open the show and stay unit Nov 19th until Brightman comes back…smart move…I wonder who it is

That's only a four-week run for a "star" to join a show."

That might be okay for a name who's just waiting out the SAG/AFTRA strike and they get an initial box office boost (though they'd probably want them through the thanksgiving holiday) 

Also I believe they maybe doing a splitsies when Brightman is available so it won’t be his fully…again I am just guessing…it is what they did for Into the Woods…

There’s three tweets about him/family guy/Peter griffin

It’s someone who’s played a prince or king before based on their Instagram clues (they put up 🫅 when asked for a clue and that’s the prince emoji; there’s a separate king one). These were the other clues: 🌃🏫🎭. And yes, it does seem like two people, so I supposed Brightman will be one of them. Honestly, this reveal is the only thing keeping me interested in the revival, and who they announce will determine if I want to see it or not. Brightman isn’t doing that for me.

All I’m saying is it better be someone good with all this hype up…

Could be a TV show as well…or movie even

Sticking to SNL, I think it’s Pete Davidson. They posted a meme of him (with John Mulaney) on Twitter, he was in a movie called “School” Dance and his more recent one “Kings” of Staten Island, and, of course, the night sky for Saturday “Night” Live. Okay, done now.  

Good grief. I’ve never seen a show’s social media manager be such an edgelord. 

The show isn’t selling heavily right now so they may want to step their game up so they can put butts in seats.
