MISS THIS ONE

Everything audiences love about Broadway shows is missing here and conspicuous by its absence. One saving grace is Lancelot, the voice not the acting...I didn't think he even liked Guinevere nor did Arthur. No scenery, little dance no passion...don't torture yourself!

SO DISAPPOINTING

This show was so disappointing and such a waste of money. I left at intermission, which I have never done before through years of attending theater. It was so boring and emotionless. Except for Phillipa Soo the singing wasn't great either. Also really the whole reason we wanted to see the show was for Jordan playing Lancelot and he wasn't even performing the night we went, and the understudy unfortunately did not have the voice for the role.

I FELT NOTHING

I wonder if Aaron Sorkin took over directing, casting, costumes and sets from the director... the same director of The King and I, South Pacific and My Fair Lady. It would explain this dark, mis-guided production and Sorkin's having a stroke. (I am very sad about that and hope he has a full recovery). Phillipa Soo was the bright spot. My husband, who knew nothing about her, said, "There is one person on stage with true stage presence and a Broadway-worthy voice. What's her name...oh here it is...Phillipa Soo!" Agree, dear husband.

AN UGLY , JOYLESS MESS

Take a glorious musical and rob it of all its magic and romance and you have this astounding slap in the face to Lerner and Loewe It’s a fitting version for today , I guess. Sorkin was suffering from a stroke when he wrote this and that may explain the overpowering sense of doom The set is spare and ugly as are the costumes. And Soo is barely audible This is a total disaster If you love Camelot , stay home and listen to the glorious original cast album and watch the spectacular film version

A FAILURE ON ALMOST EVERY FRONT

Sorkin said he wanted to take out the magic. Well, he succeeded there. By effortfully modernizing Arthur's hopeful effort toward governance based on humanistic ideals rather than power (already present and clear in the original), all Sorkin has done is diminish it. The language is pedestrian and dull throughout, the plot contrivances head-scratching. And the show is dismal on other fronts. With occasional exceptions, the singing is undistinguished, and the performers all seem to be on battery-saving mode. Presumably they were directed this way- they have good credits, and could be appealing. But not here.

There is no way better to warn you that you are wasting your money, your precious time and worse of all a waste of talent! !
