Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s legendary musical masterpiece 'Camelot' brought the sweeping majesty and tragic romance of the Arthurian legend to the Majestic Theatre in 1960, running for an astonishing 873 performances. The plot charts King Arthur’s idealistic attempt to forge a civilized, democratic society governed by the Knights of the Round Table, collapsing into devastation when his beloved Queen Guenevere enters a star-crossed, forbidden affair with his champion knight, Lancelot. Directed by Moss Hart, the original premiere achieved permanent immortality through the unmatched performances of Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, and Robert Goulet, introducing standard anthems like "If Ever I Would Leave You."
