About the Show
PM&L Theatre is thrilled to present auditions for a distinctive production of Camelot, ingeniously adapted by David Lee for a contemporary audience and crafted for a compact ensemble of eight (six men, one woman, one teen boy). This version peels back the layers of the classic Lerner and Loewe musical to its core, honing in on the intricate love triangle between King Arthur, Queen Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot. Against the backdrop of Arthur’s noble quest, this adaptation stands out by requiring cast members to assume multiple roles throughout the narrative, offering a full-bodied portrayal of the legendary tale with a reduced cast. Notably, David Lee’s adaptation revives some of the original score’s songs that have been absent in recent productions, restoring the full glory of the musical’s rich tapestry. We are searching for versatile actors who are excited to navigate the dynamic landscape of ‘Camelot,’ bringing depth and nuance to this streamlined, yet emotionally rich storytelling experience.
