(New York, NY) – Lincoln Center Theater announced that following the acclaimed opening of Lerner & Loewe’s CAMELOT, the production will extend its run, with a new block of tickets now on sale through Sunday, September 3 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater (150 West 65th Street).
The 2023 Broadway Cast Recording of CAMELOT was recorded on Monday, April 24; available digitally and on CD (exclusively at the Vivian Beaumont Theater) on Friday, June 2, and available everywhere CDs are sold on Friday, June 30.

The beloved original score (lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe) features such iconic songs as “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “The Lusty Month of May” and the title song “Camelot.” Based on “The Once and Future King” by T.H. White, CAMELOT, Lerner and Loewe’s 1960 follow up to My Fair Lady, is a story about the quest for democracy, the striving for justice, and the tragic struggles between passion and aspiration, between lovers and kingdoms.
