Long ago and far away there was an enchanted city called Camelot; a place where impossible things can happen. A proud and idealistic King Arthur, his young and beautiful Guenevere, and a heroic knight of the Round Table, Lancelot, are joined by magical Merlin and mysterious Morgan Le Fey as a noble kingdom is conceived and flourishes.

But, even in Camelot, unexpected things can happen... and do. Filled with romance, exquisite music and eternal hope, Camelot is a family event.

A musical fantasy with the songs that dreams are made of... "How to Handle a Woman", "Camelot", and "If Ever I Should Leave You".

Camelot is based on T.H. White's novel The Once and Future King. The novel--which deals with the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table--actually consists of four books, and the rights to the first book, "The Sword and the Stone", had already been purchased by Disney. Lerner and Loewe acquired the rights to the last three books and focused on the love triangle between King Arthur, Queen Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot. It opened at the Majestic Theatre on December 3, 1960 and closed January 5, 1963 after a run of 873 performances. Richard Burton made his musical debut as King Arthur and Robert Goulet made his New York debut as Lancelot. Julie Andrews, a personal friend of T.H. White's played the role of Guenevere.

You can find a few film and television versions of this musical. Joshua Logan directed Richard Harris (King Arthur) and Vanessa Redgrave (Queen Guenevere) in this 1967 release. Marty Callner directed a television version starring Richard Harris (King Arthur) and Meg Bussert (Queen Guenevere).
