Camelot Tickets Continued
Camelot's original stars in the 1960 stage version were Richard Burton as Arthur,
Julie Andrews as Guenevere, Robert Goulet as Lancelot, Roddy McDowall as Mordred, and
John Cullum as Sir Lionel and understudy for Burton (Cullum later took over the role of
Mordred). Directed by Moss Hart, the original Broadway production opened at the Majestic
Theater on December 3, 1960, and played 874 performances. After initially faltering at the box
office, the show became a notable hit after the cast made an appearance on the Ed Sullivan
Show.
The London production of Camelot opened in August 1964 and featured
Laurence Harvey as Arthur, Elizabeth Larner as Guenevere and Barry Kent as Lancelot.
Richard Burton reprised his role as Arthur in a revival that ran during the summer of 1980 at the
New York State Theatre / Lincoln Center. Christine Ebersole played Guenevere and Richard
Muenz was Lancelot. The show was revived on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theater in
1981 and broadcast on HBO a year later, starring Richard Harris as Arthur, Meg Bussert as
Guenevere, and Richard Muenz as Lancelot. Harris, who had starred in the film, and Muenz
also took the show on tour nationwide. Another revival was in 1987 with Robert Goulet cast in
the role of Arthur.
