Spamalot: costumes
Laurie Farquhar
How do you outfit almost 50 singing and dancing knights, monks, nuns, chorus girls and paupers and still stay within your budget? By following the three R’s – use, Repurpose and Rent.
Showtime’s spring production is Spamalot, Monty Python’s spoof of the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their search for the Holy Grail. This award-winning musical has a huge cast and most of the actors, singers and dancers will need several costume changes. To make all of them would be a daunting task for any theater company, but fortunately, Director Karyn Horst and Costume Managers Lynne Carlyle and JoAnn Smyth have found ways to outfit the cast in beautiful costumes without taxing themselves or the show’s resources.
Karyn says the costumes for the major characters and a few of the dance numbers will be rented from Fountain Hills Theater and Costume Connection, a theatrical rental organization. This still leaves about 30 pieces that will be designed and created by Lynne and JoAnn. Lynne says some costumes used by Dance Fusion in previous shows will be revamped and altered for this production and currently, dancers are pulling out jackets, tops and dresses from their personal costume collections. By the time Lynne and JoAnn have used their magic on them, the audience will not recognize that they were worn in another show. The remaining costumes will be made from scratch by Lynne.
The other big task facing Lynne and JoAnn will be fitting the rental costumes. These items will not be available to ShowTime until after mid-February which does not leave much time to get the alterations done but fortunately, other club members have offered to help with this sewing.
It takes a lot of time and talent to pull together a costume wardrobe for a production as large as Spamalot, but Lynne and JoAnn have the expertise and experience to create an outstanding collection. So if you like colorful and wacky costumes, you won’t want to miss the outfits worn by the brave knights, not-dead-yet people, water belles and cheerleaders in ShowTime’s Spamalot.
Spamalot will run six nights from Monday, April 3 to Saturday, April 8. Tickets are only $15 and will go on sale Saturday, March 4 from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. in the Renaissance Theater.
