Upsala High School Presents “Spamalot”
The Upsala High School Drama Club will be presenting the award winning musical “Spamalot” April 11-13. The show is “lovingly ripped off” from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The musical is an irreverent parody of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. It won three Tony Awards in 2005 including Best Musical. Arthur and his knights encounter a variety of obstacles while searching for the holy grail, including rude Frenchmen, killer rabbits, a black knight and the knights who say “ni.” The offbeat, silly British humor is sure to keep you laughing.
King Arthur is played by Josiah Lojovich, and his knights are Aidan Guthrie, Paul Ripplinger, Aaron Ripplinger and Ruthie Flaa. His lackey Patsy is played by Danica Cheney and the Lady of the Lake is played by Margaux Douvier.
The rest of the cast includes McKenzie Barth, Ben Blonigen, Marie Blonigen, Samantha Blonigen, Lacey Brezinka, Gabe Douvier, Jessie Evonuik, Quade Evonuik, Savanna Johnson, Aaron Peterson, Stefani Pohlmann, Andrew Prokott, Rachel Prom, Cody Rahn, Andy Ripplinger, Anne Vos, Bennett Westrich, Brooke Westrich, Danica Westrich, Brandon Young and Dylan Zimmerman.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12. There is also a Sunday matinee on April 13 at 3:00 p.m. Tickets will be sold at the door.
