Camelot Reviews

DOES NOT EVEN DESERVE A SINGLE STAR RATING.

Mediocre production I have ever seen on Broadway. I have seen just about every musical on Briadway in the last 45 years and sadly this was the worst show I have ever seen. In fact, I wouldn't see this show even if Lincoln Center paid me. It is utterly boring, poorly acted, cheap sets, garage sale costumes, and a totally uninspiring cast. Lincoln Center should refund everyone who had to sit through this painful show.

AWFUL. DISAPPOINTING. JUST PLAIN SHAMEFUL.

This was the worst musical I’ve seen in years. Poorly cast and just amateurish in so many ways. I’ve seen high school productions that were better. Shame on Sorkin. What is Phillipa Soo thinking being part of this shameful production? Arthur and Lancelot were poorly cast. Set was awful and uninspired.

A MESS OF A PRODUCTION

I saw the musical last night in previews. I had seen the LC production of South Pacific back in 2008 and thought it was terrific. With similar expectations, I awaited this new production. Unfortunately, this new production with a heavily doctored book is a huge disappointment. The plays tone is unresolved. It feels like a cross between a bad sitcom and Monty Python. The first act ends with a lame admonishment that is banal. The second act feels like a different play and disjointed. The production design is unimaginative and cheap looking, lacking any sparkle. And NO round table! Unfortunately, the problems do not end there. The characters are miscast and have no chemistry. As for the singing, the voices are pleasant but they don't project and many of the lyrics are unintelligible. Iand then there's the length of almost three hours. It's not the time that's the problem because I go the opera and they run long as well, but because there's no pathos, boredom results. Well, you may say, surely you must have liked the music. Well, yes but as they placed the stage thrust over the out, the instruments were miced and all the richness and sounds that should envelope the theatre is lost. I write this with reservation as I was hoping for a great evening. Sadly, I suggest that you save your money and watch the movie.

A PAINFUL AND QUITE EXPENSIVE THEATRE EXPERIENCE

Camelot has brought new meaning boring! $358.00 for tickets + $49.00 for parking was certainly highway robbery for what was the equivalent to a middle school production, to which it would have had appeal. Why was it rescripted,? Richard Harris and Robert Goulet may be turning over in their graves The worst play I have seen in 50 years. The last scene missed its mark. The recollection of seeing South Pacific and My Fairlady will help bury this horrible memory.

DISAPPOINTED

No need to reiterate all the previous posts that echoed our feelings. Having left at intermission to avoid getting back to our hotel at midnight, I feel much better knowing we were not alone in our disappointment. With one week left of previews, I certainly hope this website is being followed in time to make requisite changes. Philippa Soo was the one shining star- as enjoyable as her Hamilton performance fall 2016. Listening to the original album now as we drive home only confirms how lacking this “revival” was for Camelot fans.

THE TYPICAL IMAGINATIVE LINCOLN CENTER REVIVAL THIS IS NOT.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the rich, brilliant, perfectly cast and conceived Lincoln Center revivals of South Pacific, My Fair Lady and The King and I. What happened dear Lincoln Center? In a word, this production is thin. For one brief shining moment there was Camelot...in 1960.

JUST AWFUL

I agree with all of the negative reviews. Highly disappointing production from beginning (no sets, dark lighting, poor sound, emotionally flat) to the clunky end.
