Camelot
October 12th & 13th
The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happ'ly-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
On December 3, 1960, these words were sung for the first time in New York premiere of Camelot. A winner of four Tony Awards, this lovely retelling of The Once and Future King by T. H. White was written by collaborators Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. For some it is a fairy tale with a bittersweet ending while others see the Arthurian legend as a part of history. A favorite of President John F. Kennedy, the work often defined his administration and ideals. For all you've loved and lost...don't miss Camelot
