Camelot the Musical Now at Starlight

Camelot Now at Starlight
Tickets received.

Hear ye! Hear ye! The confines of Starlight Theatre will transform into the kingdom of Camelot this week. One of theatre’s most legendary musicals, Camelot will enchant audiences of all ages when it takes Starlight’s Cohen Community Stage on June 9-14.

This production of Camelot, which launched its national tour last fall, reimagines the classic tale of King Arthur, Guenevere, Lancelot and the Knights of the Round Table in a way that is both intimate and fresh, while still preserving the beloved themes of brave knights, troubled romance, passion, betrayal and majesty. The musical’s celebrated score includes the classics “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “The Simple Joys of Maidenhood,” and, of course, the title song.

Through song and narrative, the four-time Tony Award®-winning Camelot transports audiences back to 12th century medieval times. Taught well by Merlin, King Arthur and his beautiful queen Guenevere rule the kingdom of Camelot with new ideals, bringing peace to a troubled land.

Camelot’s talented touring cast features Adam Grabau as Arthur, Mary McNulty as Guenevere, Tim Rogan as Lancelot, Mark Poppleton as Merlyn/King Pellinore, and Kasidy Devlin as Mordred. Of particular interest to local audiences is the fact that Broadway actress McNulty is a graduate of the University of Kansas’ School of Music.

Additional local flavor was added to the show with the casting of three Kansas City area boys – Maddox Carter Banes, age 11, Marek Burns, 9, and Andrew Stout, 13 – to alternate nightly in the role of Tom of Warwick at the
conclusion of each night’s performance.
