wilmettebeacon.com LIFE & ARTS the wilmette beacon | July 18, 2019 | 39 Posted to WilmetteBeaconDaily.com 3 days ago ‘Spamalot’ promises hilarious experience for all ages Alexa Burnell Freelance Reporter The Wilmette Park District Center for the Arts presents “Spamalot,” playing outdoors at the picturesque Wallace Bowl from July 18 through Aug. 3. The lively, musical comedy adapted from the 1975 classic, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” tells the misadventures of a group of misfits seeking the fame and stardom of Broadway. Alison Dornheggen, Center for the Arts artistic director, explained that while “Spamalot” has a reputation for being bawdy and slightly inappropriate, the Park District’s version is squeaky clean enough for audience-goers of all ages to enjoy. “When presenting a program at the Wallace Bowl, we take into account the voluntary and involuntary audience. You never know who is passing by and sound does carry, so we are not hosting a show full of profanities or insensitive remarks. Instead, we have tailored the production to embrace the comedy and silliness that makes ‘Spamalot’ so popular,” Dornheggen said. “Our shows, particularly at the Wallace Bowl, are meant for the entire family to enjoy. Personally, I think kids will get a kick out of watching adults be completely ridiculous and will find many of the jokes to be hilarious.” When selecting a production for the Wallace Bowl, Dorheggen takes into consideration many factors. Last year, for example, she chose “Footloose,” reporting record ticket sales. The positive feedback helped Dornheggen decide that contemporary programming is a perfect fit for the Wallace Bowl. “Similar to ‘Footloose’ last year, ‘Spamalot’ is more of a modern day production. Basically, it was created to appeal to the masses. It pokes fun at all the hot musicals, which means the audience gets to hear an array of magical songs. Even if you aren’t a traditional Python Headhead, there is so much to enjoy. From the music to the absurdity, there is something that will appeal to various audience members,” Dorhneggen said. “Best of all, ‘Spamalot’ doesn’t take itself too seriously — a great production to compliment the more laid-back lifestyle of summer living.” Director Heather Currie does define herself as an official PythonHead, having developed a love for all things Monty Python from her father. To her, the comedy and details woven into the plot, is what makes “Spamalot” truly unique. “Similar to ‘Shrek: The Musical,’ ‘Spamalot’ has a depth to the storyline. There are layers of comedy that appeal to various people and various personalities. There is truly something for everyone embedded in the tale. Best of all, this show is not serious. It’s a rollicking good time; who doesn’t love that in the summer,” Currie said. Musical Director Paul Scavonem explains that the challenge of producing a show outdoors comes with some eye-opening lessons. “First of all, the Wallace Bowl is simply a beautiful setting and a perfect fit for ‘Spamalot.’ That said, an outdoor production comes with challenges. We must take into consideration the various elements, balancing the sound with the wind, cars honking, passerbys and more. It tests us all, but in a good way. Everyone I am working with is ready to roll with the punches; we’ve all learned to be flexible and adapt to what Mother Nature gives us,” Scavone said. “Spamalot” runs at 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 18, LIVING IS EASY VINYL PLANK FLOORS 25 and Aug. 1; 8 p.m. Friday, July 19, 26, and Aug. 2; 8 p.m. Saturday, July 20, 27 and Aug. 3.
