"Borrowing from the Arthurian legends, Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot is the duo’s fantastical masterpiece which triumphed on Broadway in a legendary original production that lead to a film version, and numerous revivals in New York, London and across the globe. Its Original Broadway Cast Album topped the charts for 60 weeks, with a rich score boasting such gems as "If Ever I Would Leave You," “I Loved You Once in Silence,” "The Lusty Month of May," and of course, "Camelot."
An idealistic young King Arthur hopes to create a kingdom built on honor and dignity, embodied by his Knights of The Round Table. His Ideals, however are tested when his lovely queen, Guenevere, falls in love with the young Knight, Lancelot and the fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance." - Music Theatre International
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| King Arthur | A rich and complex character, strong actor. Arthur is generous, compasionate, boyish, unsureof himself, yet, an inspiration to others. |
| Guenevere | (Soprano) – Must have both strong acting and legit singing skills. A spirited woman quite caught up in chivalry and the exciting possibilities of a promised life. She loves Arthur, but is in love with Lancelot. |
| Lancelot du Lac | (High Baritone) – Must have both strong acting and singing skills. Must sing, legit voice. Should create a strong, confident presence on stage. Abundantly self-assured Knight from France, who is a passionate disciple of Arthur and his roundtable. "The Greatest Knight in the world", whose onlyweakness is his love for Guenevere. |
| Merlyn | (Non-singing) – Character actor role, must be able to portray old age. Doubles as King Pellinore. The famouse wizard who teaches Arthur almost all he needs to know before taken away by Nimue. |
| King Pellinore | (Non-singing) Strong comedy character role, a rather befuddled type of character. Doubles as Merlyn. A Wonderfully funny and stuffily British old Knight-provides the most consistant comic relief in the show. Dedicated to Arthur. Very eccentric. |
| Nimue | Legit soprano, will also be in the ensemble. |
| Mordred | Illegitimate son of King Arthur. Strong dramatic acting skills required (antagonist character). A truly evil young man, who was "sired" by Arthur when the King was young and naive. A thoroughly and fascinatingly unlikeable fellow. |
| Morgan Le Fey | (Character singer) – Mordred’s gluttonous aunt. Strong acting skills. Powerful and evil sorceress. |
| Sir Dinaden, Sir Sagamore, Sir Lionel | Three named Knights who serve Arthur. All Devoted to Guenevere. They don't care for Lancelot. Singing soloists, also part of the ensemble. |
| Tom of Warwick | (Non-singing) A young boy. Appears at the end of the show, but may be worked into the ensemble as a page, squire, etc. A young boy destined to be a knight. He wants to fight for what is right and gives Arthur hope for the future. |
| Ensemble | Consists of Knights and Ladies of the court, many of whom have speaking roles. Very strong singers are needed for this ensemble. |
