Show Summary

The legendary love triangle of King Arthur, Guenevere and Sir Lancelot leaps from the pages of T.H. White’s novel in Lerner and Loewe’s award-winning, soaring musical.

An idealistic young King Arthur hopes to create a kingdom built on honor and dignity, embodied by his Knights of The Round Table. His Ideals, however, are tested when his lovely queen, Guenevere, falls in love with the young Knight, Lancelot, and the fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance. Borrowing from the Arthurian legends, Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot is a fantastical masterpiece which triumphed on Broadway in a legendary original production that led to a film version, and numerous revivals across the globe.

Camelot features a rich score boasting such gemsas “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “I Loved You Once in Silence,” “The Lusty Month of May,” and of course, “Camelot.”

LERNER AND LOEWE’S CAMELOT
Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International(MTI).
