CAMELOT National Tour Comes to the Morris Center This Weekend
The 2014/2015 National Tour of Lerner & Loewe's CAMELOT reimagines the classic tale of King Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot. South Bend can fall in love all over again with this beloved musical this weekend, December 5-6 at The Morris Performing Arts Center as part of the 2014-2015 Broadway in South Bend Series presented by Broadway Theatre League.
Tickets for CAMELOT, starting at $33, are available online at theaterleague.com and morriscenter.org, by visiting The Morris Center box office, 211 N. Michigan Street, Hammes Bookstore/Eddy Street Commons, O'Brien Recreation Center in South Bend and TG Music in Goshen or by calling 574.235.9190. Groups of 10 or more call 1.866.31.GROUP.
Broadway's sweeping tale of passion, pageantry and betrayal is the winner of four Tony Awards and three Academy Awards. The tale 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."
CAMELOT features a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe and is based on the King Arthur legend adapted from the T.H. White novel The Once and Future King. 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, rules the kingdom of CAMELOT with new ideas, 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!
The original 1960 production ran on Broadway for 873 performances and spawned several revivals, foreign productions and the 1967 film. The original cast album was America's top-selling LP for 60 weeks.
