Look out; it’s hee-e-e-ere!
The long awaited SPAMALOT fulfills the promise of extreme Monty Python silliness!
Director Bob Purosky — with his trusty Stage Manager Michele Booher-Purosky and partners in crime Choreographer Karyn Perry and Music Master John Dale Smith (with his well-balanced, hidden orchestra) — has launched an extravaganza of humor and imaginative, fun dances. It shakes the stage and tickles our funny bones — and some of it is “inappropriate” states my 10 year old granddaughter… true, but pretty PG and major FUN for the whole family if you don’t mind a little bawdy, irreverent humor.
Pythonesque projections add what magic fly-space cannot, and the set collaboration by director Bob and the Three Set Masters of Riverwalk (Leroy Cupp, Tom Ferris and Bob Nees) is remarkable — with scenography by Jules Purosky. (Beware the Rabbit.) The costumes are multitudinous and wonderful, devised/designed by Kris Maier and a crew-of-thousands - most notably Chris Kennedy, Ashley Hampton and Theresa Dunn.
All the voices are impressive, especially Kathryn Mulcahy, making her Riverwalk debut as the fantastical Lady of the Lake, the hilarious diva inspiring the ever-stalwart Ben Holzhausen as King Arthur. The motley crew of Isaac Orr, Zach Riley, Boris Nikolovski, Jeff Kennedy, Brian Farnham and Will Harrison are each priceless, versatile gems, playing multiple roles to the hilt in this ridiculous Arthurian quest.
If you’re in the mood for an irreverent HOOT of a spoof, don’t miss this standing-ovation worthy show. Reserve today. I predict sellouts.
