"Robles repeatedly steals the show - as the best Lady of the Lakes do - with precise comic timing and delivery, impressively and intentionally over-the-top vocal work (which would given even "Songbird Supreme" Mariah Carey a run for the money) and an ability to both spoof and embrace full-throttle divadom."
"Major Attaway, a Broadway vet known for his role as The Genie in "Aladdin," is another massive highlight in the role of King Arthur in this Camelot-inspired tale focused on finding the Holy Grail. Attaway manages to make the part his own, nicely mixing the kingly with the comical in ways that delight scene after scene."
"Overall, the cast is fabulous - nary a weak link in the bunch - with each of the actors thriving in the trademark chaos, fun wordplay and abundant miscommunication that this play has been serving up ever since it debuted on Broadway back in 2005."
The current Broadway touring production of Spamalot features Amanda Robles as an outstanding Lady of the Lake, stealing scenes with precise comic timing, over-the-top vocal performances, and full-throttle diva energy. Major Attaway, known for his role as The Genie in Aladdin, excels as King Arthur, masterfully blending regal authority with comedy through physical humor and expressive facial work. The entire cast performs without weak links, thriving in the show's trademark chaos, wordplay, and miscommunication. This 2023 revival, directed by Josh Rhodes, modernizes the original 2005 Broadway production by incorporating updated pop-culture references and stage designs while maintaining the show's core comedic essence.
