​ABOUT THE SHOW:
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.
​
Borrowing from the Arthurian legends, Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot is the
duo’s fantastical masterpiece which triumphed on Broadway in a legendary
original production that lead to a film version, and numerous revivals in
New York, London and across the globe. Its Original Broadway Cast Album
topped the charts for 60 weeks, with a rich score boasting such gems as "If
Ever I Would Leave You," “I Loved You Once in Silence,” "The Lusty Month of
May," and of course, "Camelot."
