	The Dream of Camelot
		At that time I was working on music for "Keeper of the Holy Grail" (conceived by and in collaboration with healer Samuel Welsh) with the intent that listeners would be assisted by the music to experience the Divine within.
		I understood that each of these Musical Soul Portrait clients was carrying a piece of the jigsaw puzzle of a harmonious society on the soul level, and when that puzzle piece was expressed in their music, a double gift was given.
		Their Camelot melody served to awaken the memory of their soul's vision, and it also served to further the musical work of creating a piece that could reawaken the vision for others.

		Because of average singing by all concerned, the music is more memorable than any of the songs (except perhaps Harris's, particularly his rendition of the title song), and is in fact the chief asset of the picture.
		In Camelot, the Round Table is eventually destroyed because of internal factions and selfish attitudes, and King Arthur must witness the death of his ideal when his own knights, who had earlier shared this ideal with him, demand revenge against their oppressors.
		The musical numbers which she is given to sing include "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood", the innuendo-filled "The Lusty Month of May", and "Then You May Take Me to the Fair", in which she manipulates other knights to defeat Lancelot in the upcoming tournament.

	Camelot: One Brief Shining Moment
		Camelot is based on T.H. White's novel, The Once and Future King, and focuses on the love triangle of King Arthur, Queen Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot, one of Arthur's greatest and most trusted Knights of the Round Table.
		A glorious example of the “non-spectacle” musical, Camelot's historically accurate costumes and simple sets allow the audience to concentrate on all the emotion poured into the songs and the characterizations.
		Act II seems to be a reality-based romantic tragedy” (3), but I think that this structure is why audiences make such a link between the musical and the Kennedy years, from sunshine to rain, laughter to tears-as the musical changed, so changed the nation, a case of life imitating art.

		In additon to new musical numbers, the libretto was updated so that all three of the principals were in the armed forces, thus paying homage to the then-current war effort.

		Aside from the technical mastery and beautiful tone that are absolutes in all of his playing, one is dazzled by his curiosity and ability to adapt to so many forms and types of music.
		Truthfully, Lerner and Loewe's musical score for this retelling of the King Arthur story doesn't measure up to My Fair Lady, which was still playing when Camelot opened on December 3, 1960.
		This is a grand musical, with seeds sown for much of the movie music that would follow, with even hints of what John Williams would steal for Star Wars.

		Pageantry and high mindedness, however, are at the heart of "Camelot.'' So much so that it's often approached by audiences and producers alike with the awe reserved for hallowed works.

	The Columbus Dispatch : Review \| Camelot: Musical warhorse nostalgic but not sublime
		Camelot, adapted from T.H. Whiteâs novel about the legend of King Arthur, added a fillip of fuzzy idealism to the formula, which mostly endures as the old-fashioned warhorse lumbers into town again.
		Humor, woven into Camelot from the start, finds more of a home in the first act, but its power comes primarily from romantic tragedy and its historical context: the struggle to sustain an emerging civilization where reason replaces coercion.
		Yet, Camelot seems all too timely in an election year when Americans are weary of war and many yearn to return to a now-legendary era before 9/11.

		CAMELOT, the ravishing musical re-telling of the King Arthur legend by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, has never sounded better than in the original 1960 Broadway cast album, now happily reissued on the Columbia Broadway Masterworks label.
		The music is sweetly pretty, and the lirics are superb, but it is the stars that make this recording such a timeless classic.
		CAMELOT was a problematic show and despite many revisions for revivals over the years, it has never really worked on stage or screen.

		In other words, it rips the middle of the story out, presenting it as if it were all, and leaves one to believe that Arthur perishes fighting Lancelot and not at Camlan.
		The best version of this musical in my opinion is that of the film version with Harris and Redgrave.
		After reviewing my notes on the musical, it appears that the play was cut in places to reduce the time or the fuller set requirements.

		That the Camelot Theatre Company would present Lerner and Loewe’s familiar musical "Camelot" is probably just fate.
		Musical Director Jennifer Schloming’s vocally strong ensemble best demonstrates their depth in "Guenevere" and "Camelot." The cast’s harmonies still ring off the walls when Golden bids young Jeffrey Star tell the tale for future generations.
		As the lights came up and the final bows were made, it was clear the audience felt Genise and her crew were able to make a little magic Friday night.
