Based on The Once and Future King by T H White, Camelot, Lerner and Loewe’s 1960 follow up to My Fair Lady, is a story about the quest for democracy, the striving for justice, and the tragic struggles between passion and aspiration, between lovers and kingdoms. Academy Award winner Aaron Sorkin (To Kill a Mockingbird) pens a new book for the musical (based on the original book by Alan Jay Lerner).
Camelot will feature choreography by Byron Easley, sets by Michael Yeargan, costumes by Jennifer Moeller, lighting by Lap Chi Chu, sound by Marc Salzberg and Beth Lake, and projections by 59 Productions. Kate Wilson will lend vocal and dialect coaching, with fight direction by B H Barry.
Music director Kimberly Grigsby will conduct a 30-piece orchestra performing Camelot‘s original orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett and Philip J Lang, and original dance and choral arrangements by Trude Rittman. Charles Means is the production stage manager.
