Camelot

Camelot, a musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe was based on The Once and Future King, a retelling of the King Arthur saga, by T. H. White.

The entire community of CAMELOT awaits the arrival of Guenevere, King Arthur of England's future Queen.  Then Lancelot arrives on the scene.  The two soon fall in love, and in order not to betray his king, Lancelot asks Arthur to allow him to go a-questing. However, when he returns two years later, he resumes his dalliance with Guenevere. Arthur, aware of their feelings, keeps quiet to preserve the peace. However, his illegitimate son Mordred shows up and starts plotting against him in order to gain the throne. Contriving to keep the king away for a night, Mordred and a bunch of disgruntled Round Table knights surprise Lancelot and Guenevere in a compromising position. Lancelot escapes, but Guenevere is scheduled for burning under Arthur's law. Of course, Lancelot rescues her and spirits her off to France, forcing Arthur to make war on them. The king magnanimously forgives them just before the final battle. Some of the enchanting musical numbers include The Simple Joys of Maidenhood, The Lusty Month of May, How to Handle a Woman, I Loved You Once in Silence, If Ever I Would Leave You and What Do the Simple Folk Do? In the end it is fourteen-year-old Tom who tells the world of Camelot's quest for right and honor and justice.
