Camelot September 13, 2009

Nathaniel Hackmann stars as “Lancelot” in Cumberland County Playhouse’s production of the Lerner and Loewe musical CAMELOT. The exciting young San Francisco Opera baritone, seen at CCP as “Emile” (“Some Enchanted Evening”) in SOUTH PACIFIC, will star as “Gaston” in the upcoming 2010 National tour of Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

CAMELOT also stars Britt Hancock as “King Arthur”, fresh from the National Tours of HAIRSPRAY and THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, and Knoxville Opera and CCP leading lady Nicole Begue(who toured nationally in THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE), sings “Guinevere”, the role made famous by Julie Andrews.

The legend of Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot is among the world’s timeless stories and CAMELOT among the most beloved musicals, with kings and queens, and forbidden love among the royals a millennium ago. “It’s one of the archetypal tales of honor and idealism, of fate and human frailty,” notes CAMELOT director John Fionte, “with brilliant book, music and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.”
