Andrew Burnap is a welcomed surprise! The other two were heavily rumored but are both excellent choices as well. Loving this Phillipa Soo renaissance!

Those are two great leads! Not money names, but ideally cast. Excited to see how the rest of the cast shapes up. Nice to see a young Arthur.

Congrats to Burnap! Never would’ve seen this coming when much bigger names were apparently in consideration, which tells me they knew they had something good on their hands with him.

I just got more excited for this than I ever thought I would get over any production of CAMELOT.

Jordan Donica is the kind of voice you heard like 75 years ago on Broadway. Soaring, gorgeous, sophisticated. Something from another time.
Love.

Fabulous group!! Double nominations for Phillipa Soo?? She's superb for this.
Donica is one of my most favorite voices. The thought of him with this score gives me chills.
Durnap is such a welcomed surprise! He will be excellent.

Phantom, My Fair Lady...each production I've seen him in, I've fallen in love with his voice.

Other than the Phillipa Soo news, this is by FAR the item getting me most excited. This is going to sound spectacular.

YES.
God, when he opened his mouth the first time I saw My Fair Lady, I gasped (audibly), I was enchanted with him from the second I saw him.

JUST GORGEOUS. My Mom told me that's one of her favorite songs in the musical and this version just completely makes me agree.

I just realized he also reminds me of a younger Brian Stokes Mitchell...that rich, deep voice...love both of them!

Phillipa Soo is quickly emerging as a 'next generation' Broadway superstar a la Bernadette, Patti, Sutton, Audra etc. (if she hasn't already solidified that place). Maybe I am forgetting people but I can't really easily think of others who have her status right now at such a young age.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Loving this cast! This ain't your grandma's Camelot! And a 30-piece orchestra to boot? TAKE ALL MY MONEY!
I can't wait to hear Donica slay "If Ever I Would Leave You". It's just going to make me fall in love with him even more.

Questions about LincTix? My son, and theater companion, would qualify for LincTix - can a LincTix member buy more than one tix? Does the "other" tix need to go to an under 35 as well? Just trying to get my ducks in a row before tix go on sale.
SO excited!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

It is one ticket per member. If your son wants to buy two LincTix tickets, he can but will need to have the other member’s number ready at the time of purchase.

Interesting that Sher has shaken up his design team a bit:
The Lincoln Center Theater production of Lerner and Loewe's Camelot will feature choreography by Bryon Easley and will have sets by Michael Yeargan, costumes by Jennifer Moeller, lighting by Lap Chi Chu, sound by Marc Salzberg and Beth Lake, projections by 59 Productions, casting by The Telsey Office and fight direction by B.H. Barry. Music Director Kimberly Grigsby will conduct a 30-piece orchestra performing Camelot's original orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennettand Philip J. Lang and dance and choral arrangements by Trude Rittman.
I’ve always found Donica to be the poor man’s Josh Henry. But I’m open to being surprised here. Very curious about Sorkin’s script and the design — let’s hope the logo isn’t an indication of future set design!

For their Broadway productions, each person can only buy 1 Linctix. So there is no "other" in this case. Not sure how it works for their off-Broadway productions since each member can buy 2 for those, but for Camelot, you'll definitely only be able to get a Linctix priced ticket if you're under 35.

Comparing two men of color on Broadway is a bad look and insulting one as a "poor man's" whatever is gross. Oh, and it's Joshua Henry.

Agreed that is not a good look to compare
