Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner Music by Frederick Loewe Directed by Gabriel Barre

Long ago and far away, in a lawless and barbaric land, there was one brief shining moment when justice and order held sway. Until passion got in the way. Join King Arthur, Guenevere and Sir Lancelot in this epic saga of love and betrayal, set to the soaring melodies of Lerner and Loewe. The legendary score includes “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “The Lusty Month of May,” and of course, the title song, “Camelot.”
