37:30 for Nathan Gunn's C'est Moi, 56:30 for the caviar casting of Chris Sieber, Will Swenson, and Marc Kudisch as Sirs Dinadan, Sagamore, and Lionel respectively, and 1:36:00 for Gunn's If Ever I Would Leave You, and the radiant Marin Mazzie throughout.

This is a wonderful modern interpretation of a classic. I do miss the gorgeous period costumes and sets, but the performers make the story live anyway. Bravissimo!

@warblerab2955 4 ай бұрын

I don't get the idea of doing a modern interpretation of something like the Arthurian legend. By definition, it is not modern. It does not take place in modern times. It makes no sense for something like this to take place in modern times. Let it take place where it was designed to take place.

@@warblerab2955 I tend to agree; I want my Phantom to be in a realistic 19th Century opera house, and my King Arthur to be in a Camelot that looks like the castles in England. Unfortunately, those who are putting on the musicals these days are reducing overhead costs by cutting the sets, props and costumes in the name of "modernizing." The current production of Camelot on Broadway is a good example of this trend.

@@christinewells-leddon9287 I can understand cutting costs and what not, but having Mordred look like a punk rocker??? I but I know what you mean. My parents have the cast recording of the original show. The photos showing the sets and costumes are amazing compared to what they would do today.

I have watched this twice and appreciate it so much more the second time, after I got Richard Harris out of my brain. Byrne, Mazzie, and Gunn captured their characters well. I enjoyed seeing the variation from the movie.

The late Marin Mazzie is the main attraction here. Poor Gabriel Byrne seems out of his element. Whatever it's flaws at least this is Alan Jay Lerner's CAMELOT and not Aaron Sorkin's... ;) ["Then You May Take Me to the Fair" is a highlight... I wish Christopher Sieber had played Arthur!]

Unfortunately Gabriel Byrne is the weakest link in the cast in terms of singing. He was miscast. I agree that Marin Mazzie is the best thing about this show.

Sorkin's Camelot is superior in every way. Did you notice that Fie On Goodness was entirely cut from this production? The staging of that song in Sorkin's Camelot is absolutely impeccably stunning

How did I miss this PBS production when it was originally broadcast? So happy to be watching this video as the newest revival of Camelot is preparing for opening on Broadway. The decided lack of scenery/stage props makes the music even more the star of this production! Actors, via the script, paint the scenery for us. It will be interesting to hear how this script compares to the "newly re-imagined" script. All these years later, the message of this story remains relevant...and I have some surprising tears at this realization. Thank you for posting this video...much appreciated!! I know I'll be coming back again and again for repeat performances!

Unfortunately, the new production with its newly reimagined script has, literally and figuratively, excised the magic from the original.

We saw the show this past weekend. Disappointing. Music was great as expected but the actor playing the King did not have the command of a Burton or Harris.

I want so much to love this. And a lot of it I do. I’m just always on safe when Byrne is singing. Like Richard Harris he talks through the songs sometimes. Unlike Harris he is often out of time. I dunno.

Wait a second: Didn’t Richard Burton talk through a lot of his singing? Didn’t Rex Harrison, in another Lerner & Loewe musical? What’s so bad about talking through a song if you command it?

@@alyhall4986 um. How the hell is that particular song at ALL impacted? The better critique to make would be how Lancelot and Guinevere get together if Lancelot doesn't have magic healing hands that Guenevere finds to be irresistibly sexy.

Why did Gabriel Byrne (the guy who played King Arthur) rarely sing in this? That’s the thing I really do not like in this production... but good thing Marin Mazzie (Guinevere) was exceptional. I reallyyyyyy like her voice! Nathan Gunn (Lancelot) was also great.

The announcer at the very end is mistaken about the 1981 revival. It starred Richard Harris from the movie, not Richard Burton from the 1960 stage version.

@roma6509 5 ай бұрын

I was Nimue in the 1980 revival, which starred Richard Burton . . . until an iron bar, weighting the bottom of the curtain, landed on his shoulder . . . after 5 precarious weeks, Richard Harris came in and took over the role, doing it for several years to follow. Richard Burton passed away two years later. I hope this eliminates any confusion. Blessings & Love to All Jeanne Caryl
