Opening Thursday
With this final weekend of My Fair Lady completely sold out at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater, all eyes are turning to Thursday’s opening of Lerner and Loewe’s brilliant musical Camelot. As one critic put it, “this musically rich, legend-based classic evokes enough swashbuckling spectacle to keep one smiling. Camelot has it all – a beautiful English princess swept off her feet by a shy, but passionate bachelor king; an ardent French knight, torn between devotion to his liege and an uncontrollable hunger, reciprocated, to be sure, for the king’s tempestuous wife.”
And oh!, the music. “I Wonder What the King Is Doing Tonight,” “The Simple Joys of Maidenhood,” “Camelot,” “C’est Moi,” “The Lusty Month of May,” “How To Handle a Woman,” “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “What Do the Simple Folk Do?,” “I Loved You Once In Silence.” What a gorgeous score. Rated PG. |
