Camelot Lyrics – All Songs from the Musical

1960 is the year of the start of the musical in the Majestic Theatre, and its closure was only 3 years later, after a total of 875 runs. Stage design and costumes were made with pomp, skillfully and beautifully. The stage design was done by brilliant Oliver Smith, and A. Duquette and later T. Duquette performed the suits. Moss Hart – director and choreographer- was after Hanya Holm. The musical received four Tony Awards, and the recording of its music has been a bestseller in the USA for a year and 2 months. The tour was conducted in 1963 – 1964, and in 1965, the presentation of musical on Broadway. After a successful tour, a year later, it was repeated. In 1963, the musical arrived in Australia, where it was held successfully for 2 years. West End adopted staging in 1964, at Drury Lane, and there it lasted for another 518 performances. In the wake of the success, the film was released in 1967, which starred Hollywood's big star, Vanessa Redgrave (she is still alive; she is 79 years old as of the beginning of 2016). Numerous musical renewals took place over many years, as this story is considered a classic, and therefore, it ensures success. Since 1980 until today, the musical has lived for more than 1,000 additional shows. Geography is: New York, Toronto, San Francisco, as well as two national US tours. It is noteworthy that in 2008, the team of the musical was enriched with Christopher Lloyd (who is familiar to many as the crazy professor from Back To The Future or a Martian from My Favourite Martian).
