Arthur hope for the future. “The future of theatre in Fort Myers looks very bright,” says Peg Welty,
Director of Marketing / Public Relations, who was present at the Tom of Warwick auditions. “To see

and further spark their interest in the arts, giving them the confidence to refine their skills and build
their craft.”

Guenevere and Lancelot and FORT MYERS can fall in love all over again with this beloved musical April

Broadway’s sweeping tale of passion, pageantry and betrayal is the winner of 4 Tony Awards®, 3
Academy Awards® and has never been more enthralling than in this new production. Intimate and fresh,
CAMELOT’S celebrated score includes the classics “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “The Simple Joys of
Maidenhood,” and the title song, “Camelot.”
CAMELOT features a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe and is based on
the King Arthur legend adapted from the T.H. White novel The Once and Future King. This all-new
production is directed by Michael McFadden and features Scenic Design by Kevin Depinet, Lighting
Design by Mike Baldassari and Sound Design by Craig Cassidy.
Taught well by Merlin, King Arthur, with his beautiful new queen Guenevere, rule the kingdom of
CAMELOT with new ideals, bringing peace to a troubled land. With the addition of the dashing Sir
Lancelot to the Knights of the Round Table, one of the most fabled love triangles of all time ensues.
Mordred, King Arthur’s illegitimate son, catches on and sees a kingdom in chaos and attempts to destroy
all that is CAMELOT!
The original 1960 production ran on Broadway for 873 performances and spawned several revivals,
foreign productions and the 1967 film. The original cast album was America’s top-selling LP for 60
weeks.
The CAMELOT tour for North America is produced by Phoenix Entertainment by special arrangement
with Tams -Witmark Music Library, Inc. www.phoenix-ent.com or www.tamswitmark.com.
