About the Musical The story: 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 led 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.
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.
Lerner and Loewe's Camelot – Small Cast Version has been adjusted to suit a smaller ensemble. The definitive score and memorable characters are all there but with a libretto and orchestration adapted for a more intimate production.
