Went to see Spamalot in Stratford ON and caught herbalot brainrot again.... anyway i was obsessed with Herbert's finale/wedding outfit in this production and i had to draw it 😤
very blurry curtain call photo below:
Herbert was understudied when I saw it, so the performer was either Eric Abel or Anthony Macpherson (i unfortunately left behind the programme insert so I don't recall which understudy was on, but either way he was phenomenal). Also kudos to the costume director, Michelle Barnier
The first time I saw Spamalot and growing up in a conservative town and household in the late 2000s, it was one of my windows into “What if they were gay?” Queerness was never really an option to me when I was 13 and seeing Prince Herbert and Sir Lancelot together was an alternative I had never considered. Their relationship, as brief and small representation as it is, was the slightest nudge of the closet door.
I’m almost twice the age I was when I first saw Spamalot in middle school. Last week, I went with my partner to see the new Kennedy Center production and it was the first time I’ve seen the show as a truly out lesbian. It was a long and weird journey to get here, but I want to thank this show for being the catalyst to my own queer journey.
