Submit ReviewWe just got back from Ren Faire and we're ready to talk about our favorite musical based on Arthurian legends! (Well, tied for favorite with Spamalot...)
We're talking about Camelot, the Lerner and Loewe 1960 musical, its 1967 film adaptation, and the novel it was adapted from, T. H. White's The Once and Future King.
How did the culture and politics of the 1960s interact with this musical?
How did earlier versions of the stories of King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, and the Knights of the Round Table influence the show, apart from White's novel?
And did Walt Disney really invent prequels?
This was also a great opportunity to talk about how much we loved The Green Knight, and other adaptations, retellings, and echoes of Arthurian legends in current pop culture.
