Medieval love triangle, modernized: MusicTheaterWks gives some contemporary polish and flair to their carefully streamlined version of Camelot | Matt Simonette 👇
Music Theater Works ambitiously takes on some of the problems with Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s formless and dated book, keeping our focus on Arthur , Guenevere , and Lancelot’s love triangle. In her program notes, director Brianna Borger explains, “Ourenvisions a troupe of revelers outside of time and space, who have taken this expansive tale and distilled it into what has always lived at its core: a story of humanist ideals, hope, and love.
Perkins is an excellent singer, and nicely conveys her character’s dismay as she is drawn between Arthur, whom she loves with her heart, and Lancelot, for whom she feels such unbridled passion. Metcalf knows how to belt out his songs, infusing Arthur with a refreshing boisterousness; many actors bring to Arthur their most brooding affects. Rowbotham makes Lancelot more thoughtful and plainspoken—the character’s grand pronouncements seem like humblebrags here.
