I have seen articles about Camelot... is it coming to Broadway? If so, that's awesome! I have always wanted to see that, I love listening to the CD (the whole things on my iPod... lol)

it is supposed to, yes. The director is my direcing teacher, and he said it still was planning ont going to BWAY after the tour.

It is a deeply, deeply flawed show that, without a non-profit production or big stars, wouldn't do well in the current Broadway economy.

CAMELOT has never worked. The musical covers too much territory and loses itself in the process. It contains some wonderful IDEAS, but they aren't fully realized.

With this show, one is better off sitting home with the original cast recording and enjoying its lush and melodic score.

This tour won't come to Broadway.

Save your $$ and buy the OCR and enjoy listening. Above all DO NOT EVER rent the movie or you will be tempted to turn on all of the gas jets on your kitchen and duct tape the doors!!!!! One of the WORST adaptiations EVER attempted, if not THE worst.

God No. "Song of Norway" is FAR FAR FAR worse.

Kinda makes you want to run right out and rent it, doesn't it?

"CAMELOT has never worked. The musical covers too much territory and loses itself in the process. It contains some wonderful IDEAS, but they aren't fully realized."

I have to agree. It's a beautiful piece of work and the score is enchanting, but creative teams have yet to find the formual to make it soar. I had heard that the Robert Goulet/Chuck Wagner staging many years ago was in some opinions a worthy production. I missed the recent Paper Mill's attempt with Brent Barrett & Matt Bogart so I can't comment.(But I can imagine the acting/singing being excellent).

I will cover this touring Camelot in June when it stops in Philly.

I've been in this show, and even from the perspective of a cast member it's boring.

The score is gorgeous...but, oh that lumbersome book! Weighs the show down heavily!
