The University of Central Arkansas’s Reynolds Performance Hall will present the hit Broadway musical comedy “Spamilton: An American Parody” at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17.
After successful runs in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and London, ”Spamilton: An American Parody” will stage a singing, dancing and comedy revolution in Conway. Created by comic mastermind Gerard Alessandrini and performed by a versatile cast of eight, “Spamilton: An American Parody” is a side-splitting musical parody.
Amanda Horton, executive director of Public Appearances, said, “Come enjoy a quirky night of comedic theatre as we kick off our season with ‘Spamilton.’ This is a show that ‘Hamilton’ fans, as well as musical theatre fans, won’t want to miss.”
Ben Brantley of The New York Times said, “This smart, silly, and often convulsively funny thesis, performed by a motor-mouthed cast that is fluent in many tongues, is the work of that eminent specialist in Broadway anatomy, pathology and gossip, Gerard Alessandrini.”
Tickets are $30-$40 for adults and $10 for children and students. Tickets may be purchased online at uca.edu/Reynolds, at the Reynolds Box Office Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or by calling UCA Ticket Central at (501) 450-3265 or toll-free at (866) 810-0012.
