Camelot - A Superb Musical. See it now!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Unlike other versions of the myth of King Arthur, this musical gives real insight into the thoughts and feelings of the mighty king. It chronicles his dilemmas and excellently displays the schism that tears Camelot apart. It also does an excellent job of showing the various cultures of the characters involved in the story - such as Mordred being a Scotsman as evidenced by his tartan, and Lancelot du Lac being portrayed quite definitively as a Frenchman. In addition, some of the musical numbers are catchy and one is even humorous - Lancelot sings as he rides to Camelot about how he is the best knight. The question is posed as to who is the best knight, to which Lancelot proudly belts out time and time again, "C'est moi, c'est moi!" - meaning in French, "It's me, it's me!" We see Queen Guinevere being played excellently by Vanessa Redgrave, who expertly plays out the queen's vanity, but also her love and insight. This portrayal is only to be outdone by Richard Harris's stirring portrayal of King Arthur, delving into the king's psyche and heart. In short, this is an excellent musical that the whole family can enjoy.
