Phillips Center Presents CAMELOT 11/27

Let the quest begin! The Knights of the Round Table descend upon the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Lerner & Loewe's timeless masterpiece, Camelot on Friday, November 27. This sumptuous tale is sure to delight audiences with its soaring melodies, magnificent costumes and an enduring love story set among the historic grandeur of medieval England.

From the celebrated team of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, who created the beloved musical My Fair Lady, comes this dazzling musical adaptation of T.H. White's The Once and Future King, one of literature's most cherished fables. The idyllic kingdom of Camelot is thrown into chaos when a love triangle emerges between the beautiful Queen Guenevere, gentle King Arthur, and dashing knight Lancelot. Faced with an arduous moral dilemma, the noble King must decide whether to sacrifice his true love or his prized honor. Magicians, sorcerers and noblemen run rampant, only to collide in a flurry of fanfare as Lerner and Loewe spin an unforgettable web of spellbinding action and forbidden love. Camelot is one of those extraordinary musicals that has something for everyone - romance, comedy, drama, and a score full of memorable songs like "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood," "Camelot," "The Lusty Month of May" and "If Ever I Would Leave You."

Camelot first premiered on Broadway in 1960 at the Majestic Theatre. The production ran 873 performances, winning four Tony Awards and spawning several revivals and foreign productions. The 1967 film version garnered three Academy Awards. The original cast album was America's top-selling LP for 60 weeks.

Directed and choreographed by Timothy French and featuring Mark Harapiak and Jayme Armstrong in the lead roles of King Arthur and Queen Guenevere, with Gabriel Burrafato as Sir Lancelot, this all new production was originally produced by Drayton Entertainment and premiered July 8, 2009 in Grand Bend, Ontario. The national tour is produced by Moonglow Productions.

Relive the legend! Don't miss Camelot coming to the Phillips Center on Friday, November 27 at 7:30 p.m.
