Rock’n’Roll,” Sam Phillips, who discovered them all. This was the only occasion the four legends-to-be

played together, and it has come to be known as one of the greatest rock jam sessions of all time.

Camelot, one of the truly great American musical classics, comes to life at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres!

Don’t miss the legendary story of King Arthur, his Knights of the Round Table, their valiant adventures, and a

love story for the ages.

Camelot features music, book and lyrics by the creative duo Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe (My Fair

Lady, Brigadoon), and is based on the King Arthur legends found in T.H. White’s novel The Once Future

King. In the story, Guinevere, King Arthur’s lovely wife, encourages him to establish the Knights of the

Round Table. As the Knights grow in fame, Lancelot, the most celebrated knight of all, becomes friend and

confidant to Arthur when rumors begin to circulate about Lancelot and Guinevere. Can Camelot be the

idealistic place of Arthur's dreams?

Winning multiple Tony Awards, including one for Best Musical Score, Camelot features well-known songs:

“I Wonder What the King is Doing Tonight,” “What Do The Simple Folk Do?” “If Ever I Would Leave You”

and the beloved title song, “Camelot.” A crowd pleasing musical filled with romance, pageantry, humor, and

a rich, stirring story that stands the test of time.
