INDIANAPOLIS — There will be many knights to remember this fall when Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre celebrates the 50th anniversary of Broadway's classic "Camelot."
This musical is live on stage Sept. 7 through Oct. 10. Based on the T.H. White Arthurian fantasy novel The Once and Future King, Camelot tells the famous tale of King Arthur, his Queen Guenevere, Merlyn the magician, the gallant Lancelot, and the Knights of the Round Table.
King Arthur has an idealistic vision of harmony and justice in his enchanted Camelot, but it is destroyed by the misplaced passion, greed, and jealousy of those in his kingdom. Ultimately he is forced to choose: fight or forgive.
Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre's own Douglas E. Stark stars as the legendary King Arthur. Krista Severeid plays Queen Guenevere with her real-life husband, Tony Lawson, in the role of the gallant Lancelot. Jeff Stockberger plays Merlyn and Danny Kingston is the evil Mordred. The show is directed by Eddie Curry, with musical direction by Terry Woods and choreography by Doug King. Book and lyrics are by Alan Jay Lerner, with music by Frederick Loewe.
There are 39 performances of "Camelot" scheduled at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, 9301 N. Michigan Road, Indianapolis. Tickets range from $35 to $58, and include Chef Odell Ward's specially prepared buffet, with a fruit and salad bar, unlimited coffee, tea, and lemonade. Parking is free.
