- Camelot
4/2/23 (Sun), Lincoln Center
The magic is gone from this musical in more ways than one. Still in previews, it’s selling robustly on the strength of Bartlett Sher’s reputation with his past Lincoln Center productions, including an awesome South Pacific and The King & I and a woke (but popular) version of Lerner and Loewe’s previous show My Fair Lady. These productions offered gorgeous costumes and scenery, full orchestras with lush arrangements, and top-class performers. I was discouraged at first after reading an interview with the Lancelot, who boasted that the show included actors who are blind and use prosthetics so as to better represent America. See what’s missing there? How about talent? In any event, curiosity got the better of me, and I managed to get an excellent non-premium ticket (center orchestra!) an hour before showtime.
