Camelot at the John W. Engeman Theater at Northport

Sept. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- (Northport, NY- August 23, 2011) – The John W. Engeman Theater is proud to announce the cast and the creative team for the classic musical, Camelot.  Previews begin on Thursday, September 15, 2011 at 8:00 p.m., with the official opening on September 17, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. and running through November 6, 2011.  Winner of four Tony Awards, Camelot is based on “The Once and Future King” by T.H. White with Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and Music by Frederick Loewe.      

Experience Camelot’s “one brief, shining moment” as Lerner and Loewe envisioned it in one of theater’s wittiest, most literate musicals, filled with memorable tunes. Idealistic King Arthur longs to create a perfectly principled kingdom, but sees his dream undone by a tragic love triangle involving Queen Guenevere and his best friend Lancelot.  The medieval monarch’s vision – a place where “violence is not strength, and compassion is not weakness” – speaks to our time and for all time.  This great romantic tragedy features enchanting musical numbers such as “I Wonder What the King Is Doing Tonight”, “Camelot”, “The Lusty Month of May”, “If Ever I Would Leave You”, and “Guenevere”.  
 
Press Opening is Saturday, September 17, 2011 at 8:00 pm
