Only three more rehearsals before the big show when the Hunterdon Harmonizers will present their performance of Holly Days and Jolly Knights, their annual holiday show, at Hunterdon Central High School at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM on Saturday December 4, 2010. Lords and ladies, princes, paupers and peasants, common folk and uncommon folk, are all welcome to the dubbing ceremonies for the Royal Knight School.
The musical is set in the year 1322. It tells the story of two young men, Dropsalot and SuAve, recent graduates of Knight School. Dropsalot and Lord Malice each seek the hand of Rose, beautiful daughter of King David.
Who will bring the head of the very, VERY ugly dragon, a dragon with musical scales, to the King? He who does will win the hand of Rose, says the King. Time to woo the fair Princess and take over the Kingdom says Malice!
A King, a beautiful princess, a squire assigned to each knight, Harolds, Sir Sultan of Turkey Club, a Bard, a yellow page, the dastardly braggart Lord Malice, Dropsalot and SuAve, Erasmus B. Dragon (the dragon), S’Andrew Wizard, the bartender at The Still of the Knight’s and many others, together with the Harmonizer chorus, are the cast.
Does the dragon survive? Do the most noble and brave-ish knights do battle? Does Malace or Dropsalot win the hand of Rose? Do Harmonizer quartets perform? Do the parties put their differences aside, and regale in true friendship and harmony? Does the day end as a day of great joy and celebration?
