Nooooooooooo! They killed the new Camelot production!OMG! Yesterday there was an article in the L.A. Times about a new production of Camelot that opened somewhere in CA and they changed a whole lot of things that ended up murdering the show!They moved "before I gaze at you again" to the "of ever I would leave you spot" and then moved IEIWLY to "I loved you one in silence"'s spot. They got rid of "I loved you once in silence" (wtf?). And they made the dancing sequences in "lusty month of May", well...lusty? How can they do this?

too bad it gods bad reviews..Michael York seemed like an excewllent choice for King Arthur. plus Alan Lerner's son was revising the script. | ||||

UGH!
Sounds like they made some terrible choices "revising" the script... Just because he's Lerner's grandson doesn't mean he's good at it! Too bad Lerner himself couldn't come back to do the revisions... |

personally I tihnk Lerner's 1981 rewvisions perfected the script. no need to redo it again. |

I dunno...I still think it could be tweaked a bit...but yes...that was DEFINITELY the best version. | ||||

I heard good things about it from someone who saw it at La Mirada. I was sorry to hear that they cut "Fie on Goodness", just because I love the song. But it makes sense to cut in terms of being extraneous to the story and for time. | ||||

the only thing wrong with the 1981 rewrite was the omission of Fie on Goodness and the Joust number staying in the show. |

Fie on Goodness was in the 1980 Burton and 1981 Harris Broadway revivals. They used a shortened version of the song. The same arrangement can be heard on the London revival cast recording from 83 with Harris It was only cut from the HBO version of the 81 revival. |
