Camelot -- the beloved Lerner and Loewe musical that defined an age. With its lush romantic score that soars above the legendary tale of idealism, passion and betrayal. King Arthur has created a utopian land of chivalry and civil rule. But when his beloved Queen Guenevere and Sir Lancelot, his most trusted knight, succumb to their passion for one another, he faces a terrible dilemma that will rock his kingdom to its very core.

The Night -- So are you wondering what the king is doing tonight? He’s here! He’s at the Shubert Theatre joined by Guenevere, Lancelot and a Kingdom of Broadway’s exquisite artists, accompanied by full orchestra and a chorus of fifty.

Don’t let it be forgot
    "That once there was a spot
    For one brief shining moment that was known
    As Camelot"

"I was there for Brigadoon...I left the Shubert feeling blessed and privileged, and I knew many of my friends would feel envious when I described what I had seen."
Ben Brantley of The New York Times, about last year's Benefit Gala
