Based on the novel The Once and Future King by T.H. White, the Lerner and Leowe musical Camelot is a classic of musical theater. The 1960 production achieved great success taking Arthurian legend and setting it to music. It ran on Broadway for 873 performances and garnered four Tony Awards. This hardbacked edition for the Fireside Theatre Book Club includes the book and lyrics of the show but not the music. “The most beautiful and resplendent show in the whole world.”- John McClain, New York Journal-American “Magnificent. Its songs are lovely and unfailingly right.”- John Chapman, New York Daily News “It has gaiety and grandeur. Its beauty is almost unbelievable. It can’t miss.”- Frank Aston, New York World-Telegram Sun “It ranks with the very best musical hatched in this heartland of musicals.” - Richard Cooke, Wall Street Journal “Bountiful with witty melody, eye-filling spectacle and movement, Camelot scores high for the creating team, Alan Jay Lerner, Frederick Loewe and director Moss Hart.” - William Glover, Associated Press Title: Camelot Book and Lyrics: Alan Jay Lerner Music: Frederick Loewe Publisher: Random House Place: New York Year: 1961 Series: Fireside Theatre Book Club Edition Photographs by Friedman-Abeles Length: 115pp Dimensions: 5.75” x 8.5” Condition: The dustjacket is visibly yellowed with small tears and general wear along the edges.
