See it if I Loved Camelot. Sher is a genius. Andrew Burnap's Arthur is brilliant. I felt his pain. Soo was a glorious queen but she was so unhappy.
Don't see it if Lancelot was very well sung. This was very absorbing. I miss the magic, but I loved the set and the beautiful cinematic staging. Must See.
See it if You want more than one shining moment in the theater. This is my favorite production of this classic
Don't see it if you only like the same old thing
See it if a wonderful, compelling production with a much-improved book while brimming with the always-terrific songs perfectly performed by Soo et al.
Don't see it if The revised book presents both moral and intellectual questions worth pondering -- the limits of personal loyalty and of political idealism
See it if Outstanding revival of this timeless classic of idealism vs mankind. Blind casting, stunning sets & brilliant direction make perfection.
Don't see it if No negative comments.

“In ‘Camelot,’ the clever, lightweight style of Lerner’s dialogue, and the show-off triple rhymes of his lyrics, clash with his ambition. They make Loewe’s profoundly polished music...which open the show, come off as charming tea party tunes.”

“For all the changes this ‘Camelot' attempts, its most traditional aspect comes out on top: Loewe’s music, which is faithfully and beautifully served by a luxurious orchestra of 30 pieces, including six violins. But the production is essentially dispassionate, and there is only so much one can be swept up by the strings.”

“Director Bartlett Sher’s gray and forbidding revival of the classic show could definitely use a bit more shine. It’s dark a lot in this ‘Camelot’.”

“The musical is full of energy and praiseworthy performances, particularly from Soo and Donica. An evening at the Vivian Beaumont Theater is a theatrical event in and of itself, and I enjoyed a themed cocktail at intermission called Here in Camelot and people-watching at the Lincoln Center complex.”

“The revival makes you want to believe in a great musical called ‘Camelot,’ even if such a thing never did exist.”

“While the pleasures of the production, chiefly musical, are abundant, the overall impression is one of a studied self-seriousness that tends to smother, as under a weighted blanket, your excitement.”

“The original orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett and Philip J. Lang, here brought to life by a fine 30-piece orchestra conducted by music director Kimberly Grigsby, go a long way in explaining ‘Camelot’s’ enduring appeal.”

“At the end of the night, though, and notwithstanding whatever changes you might want to make to the 1960 world view, what really matters is that the audience believes in, and pulls for, the love of Arthur and Genny because it is a stand-in for American democratic values.”
