I saw a touring production of CAMELOT about ten or fifteen years ago, with Noel Harrison as Arthur. I was extremely surprised how good Harrison was in the role. I guess the only acting I had seen him do before, was on THE GIRL FROM U.N.C.L.E. Still the production was staged very strangely. Center stage was this very large raked circular platform. On both stage left and stage right they had these semi-castle walls, that had a covered balcony running along them. What I remember most of the whole three hours was "If Ever I Would Leave You." The scene started and Guenevere was onstage (probably sitting on that damn platform) by herself and the orchesttra started the intro of the song, and you could hear the buzz in the audience of, "Where is Lancelot?" The music got to Lancelot's first note, and sure enough, his voice came in right on cue. For the first half of the song the whole audience was playing Where's Waldo? trying to find Lancelot. Finally he was spotted about half way upstage on that covered balcony. There was never any connection between Lance and Guenevere. Very weird staging!
