The show won four Tony Awards, the original Broadway cast album spent sixty weeks at the top of the Billboard chart, and the score spawned several standards. And, in 1964, the show made its London debut. Opening at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on August 19th, producer Jack Hylton"s production of Camelot sported a stellar cast, including film star Laurence Harvey as Arthur, Elizabeth Larner as Guenevere) and Barry Kent as Lancelot. Critic Harold Hobson said of Harvey"s Arthur, "I count this performance as amongst the big theatrical experiences of my life." The production was directed and choreographed by Robert Helpmann, with scenery and costumes by John Truscott and lighting by Richard Pilbrow. The show ran 518 performances.The London cast album is a treasure. It feels quite different than its Broadway counterpart and includes "The Jousts" that wasn"t on the original Broadway cast album. Harvey is a great King Arthur, and Larner is a wonderful Guenevere. Their performances are reason enough to cherish the London recording, but the whole thing has a vibrancy and sheen that is terrific, and that score - one great song after another - Track listingOvertureI Wonder What The King Is Doing Tonight?The Simple Joys Of MaidenhoodCamelotFollow MeC"est MoiThe Lusty Month Of MayTake Me To The FairHow To Handle A WomanThe JoustsBefore I Gaze At You AgainFie On GoodnessIf Ever I Would Leave YouThe Seven Deadly VirtuesWhat Do The Simple Folk Do?I Loved Him Once In SilenceCamelot (reprise)Limited Edition of 1000
