Nebraska's Lied Center for the Performing Arts Presents Broadway Tour of CAMELOT, 11/3

The national Broadway tour of "Camelot," comes to the Lied Center for Performing Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Nov. 3 and 4. From the team of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, who created the beloved musical "My Fair Lady," comes the musical adaptation of T.H. White's "The Once and Future King," one of literature's most cherished fables.

Camelot follows the love triangle of King Arthur, his Queen Guinevere and the young Lancelot. 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. With one of Broadway's most enchanting scores, Camelot is the definitive musical theater fable.

Showtime is 7:30 p.m. each day. Tickets for this performance are $48, $43 and $38. UNL students with a valid ID, as well as youths age 18 and younger, may purchase tickets for half price. Call the Lied Ticket Office at (402) 472-4747 or (800) 432-3231 for ticket availability. Regular ticket office hours are 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays.
