Lerner and Loewe’s tuneful musical about the mythical
court of King Arthur and his Round Table was the soundtrack 50 years ago
for a youthful, energetic American President, John F. Kennedy. With a
presidential inauguration just passed, Covington’s Carnegie Center
reminds us of those optimistic days with a concert staging of Camelot.
With accompaniment by conductor Mischa Santora and members of the
Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, the show’s glorious score will be
performed by Mark Hardy, a Broadway veteran and longtime professor at
Northern Kentucky University, as Arthur, and Danielle Knox, another NKU
faculty member, as Queen Guinevere.
Newcomer Doug Carpenter plays the
valiant Sir Lancelot, a role he has sung recently in California and
Missouri. Although it’s not the “lusty month of May,” this feels like
the perfect moment for this Tony Award winning show from 1960. Through
Sunday, Feb. 3. $19-$28. Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center, 1028 Scott
Blvd., Covington. 859-957-1940, thecarnegie.com.
