The Lincoln Center Theater have announced new dates today for their upcoming production of Lerner & Loewe’s Camelot, now beginning performances on 9 March 2023. 

Featuring a book by Academy and Emmy Award winning writer Aaron Sorkin, based on the original book by Alan Jay Lerner, the production will be directed by Bartlett Sher, with casting and further creatives to be announced at a later date.

Based on The Once and Future King by T.H. White, Camelot, Lerner and Loewe’s 1960 follow up to My Fair Lady, is a story about the quest for democracy, striving for justice, and the tragic struggle between passion and aspiration, between lovers and kingdoms.

This epic and timely tale features the iconic characters King Arthur, Queen Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot as well as the beloved original score with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe which includes ‘If Ever I Would Leave You’, ‘What Do the Simple Folk Do?’ and the title song ‘Camelot’.
