THEATRE + COMEDY

The Grand 1894 Opera House presents Camelot. Sunday, November 15, 2009, at  2pm & 7pm.

The classic tale of King Arthur comes to life at The Grand 1894 Opera House in Camelot Sunday, November 15. Sponsored in part by the Lyda Kempner Quinn Fund for the Performing Arts, in her memory and EIM Controls, performance times are at 2 and 7 pm. A delightful tale set in a land where honor and chivalry reign, Camelot follows the love triangle of King Arthur, his Queen Guenevere and the young Lancelot.

Based on the T.H. White novel The Once and Future King, the original production won numerous Tony Awards. With one of Broadway’s most enchanting scores featuring “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “How To Handle a Woman” and the majestic “Camelot” – this is the definitive musical theatre fable.

A 2003 review noted, "This musically rich, legend-based classic evokes enough swashbuckling excitement to keep one smiling. And for lovers of dime-store romance, Camelot has it all – a beautiful English princess swept off her feet by a shy - but passionate - bachelor king and an ardent French knight - torn between devotion to his liege and an uncontrollable hunger, reciprocated -to be sure - for the king's tempestuous wife.... Camelot features a score rich in English country-tune charm. Indeed, its lyrics.... “Never fail to dazzle with their virtuosity and wit."
