I think the cast was perfect and I saw both Jordan Donica as Lancelot and his understudy Christian Mark Gibbs who stepped in halfway through the 2nd performance I saw, and all had great chemistry and were credible. I also liked the new book without the magic. The music was so gorgeous and the staging was beautiful. So much more beautiful than a lot of what 's on Broadway now. I wish it had lasted longer, I would have gone multiple times! I will never forget this wonderful production.
Oh, I so agree. When I found out it was closing on the 23rd, I rushed to NYC and saw it on the 20th. I just love Jordan. What a voice and such a beautiful soul. I'm sorry that it closed. I would have come back for a second dose!
The entire rewriting of Camelot was a mistake and its short run shows it did not take off among theater goers. I would never see it. And the multiracial cast is - miscast! Why can't they choose one race like Hello, Dolly did in 1967 when I saw it with an all-black cast starring Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway? Everyone was so talented! It introduced us to black performers we'd not have seen otherwise. The varying of races is just not theatrically credible. The stars - Arthur and Guenevere - were very effective, but Lancelot did not "match" them, though he has a marvelous voice. Completely misbegotten and quickly forgotten.
I saw this three times with the same cast. I was delighted each time. So wonderful a production. Bravo to all involved. ❤️❤️❤️

So grateful to have been at this really splendid final performance!! Such a shame that this didn’t last longer. Fantastic cast!!
