SPAMALOT To Play The St James This Fall — Page 7

I saw a bowdlerized, almost certainly unsanctioned all female middle school production in which the entire set was a plastic Little Tikes Castle that was moved around the stage and rotated and such. Now imagine that same castle with six grown men.

All major roles listed. Interestingly Sir Galahad and Patsy are the only roles listed as already being cast."

The casting notice on Equity’s website only has Arthur and Lancelot open. The rest say “This Role Is Cast.”"

I am sure that offers have been going out left and right to various stars. They required to have an AEA open call per union rules, but there is no way any of those roles are actually open.

Hoping a great cast can make up for the weak direction at Kennedy Center.   Surprised this is transferring - as the weakest of the Kennedy Center series last year.

Matt Berry for Arthur would be fun.

That would be a big fat absolute no. 

I loved this show when it debuted on Broadway. Was lucky enough to attend opening night.

But I wonder, is the revival too soon? Without big stars attached to it, I'm not sure it will find it's audience. I hope I am wrong.

Especially since it's been done everywhere. And if this is more or less a replica of the original, who's going to see this? They definitely need a name or two to draw people back to seeing it.

Casting announcement this Wednesday (8/9), per a source working on the production.

Man, they've got to lock down their info better if everyone and their mother is leaking stuff from this show"

Leaking stuff? Not one hint of if who's doing this has been leaked. We just know JME isn't doing it.

Ticket prices are a lot more reasonable for this than I expected them to be, which would make me think they’re not really “star” casting it.

I'm wondering if there is a method to their madness.  Reasonably priced presale tickets, then announce the cast and up go the prices? 

I don't see how their going to fill the St. James with no "star" names in the cast, but I suppose time will tell.

I would imagine there's no HUGE names or else that would be announced beforehand? Why wait and then raise tickets? That doesn't make sense producing wise. And the fact that it's still Rhodes means it is likely just a carbon copy and nothing new. Sounds like they just want to fill that barn during the holidays.
