CAMELOT National Tour Coming to The Playhouse on Rodney Square, 4/14-19

The 2014/2015 National Tour of Lerner & Loewe's CAMELOT reimagines the classic tale of King Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot and Wilmington can fall in love all over again with this beloved musical April 14 - 19 at The Playhouse on Rodney Square (previously named the DuPont Theatre) as part of the Broadway Series.

Broadway's sweeping tale of passion, pageantry and betrayal is the winner of 4 Tony Awards, 3 Academy Awards and has never been more enthralling than in this new production. Intimate and fresh, CAMELOT'S celebrated score includes the classics "If Ever I Would Leave You," "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood," and the title song, "Camelot."

This all-new production is directed by Michael McFadden and features Scenic Design by Kevin Depinet, Lighting Design by Mike Baldassari and Sound Design by Craig Cassidy.

Taught well by Merlin, King Arthur, with his beautiful new queen Guenevere, rule the kingdom of CAMELOT with new ideals, bringing peace to a troubled land. With the addition of the dashing Sir Lancelot to the Knights of the Round Table, one of the most fabled love triangles of all time ensues. Mordred, King Arthur's illegitimate son, catches on and sees a kingdom in chaos and attempts to destroy all that is CAMELOT!
