[[File:julie-andrews-7_7636.jpg|frame|The original Broadway cast: Robert Goulet as Lancelot, [[Julie Andrews]] as Guinevere and [[Richard Burton (actor)|Richard Burton]] as Arthur]]
▲A 1960 musical by [[Lerner And Loewe]], shortly after the success of ''[[My Fair Lady]].'' It is an adaptation of T.H. White's ''[[The Once and Future King]],'' following the story of King Arthur.
At the start of the story, King Arthur is a young man, anxiously awaiting the arrival of his bride, Guinevere, who shares a similar amount of anxiety. [[Hilarity Ensues]] for a short while before they are married, but Merlin is abducted by Nimue before he can warn Arthur of the perils of the future. King Arthur decides to write a new code of chivalry, "where violence is not strength, and mercy is not weakness," and forms the round table.
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
Later adapted in 1968 by [[Warner Brothers]] into a movie starring Richard Harris as Arthur, Vanessa Redgrave as Guinevere and Franco Nero as Lancelot.
For the 2011 television series produced by Starz and GK-TV, [[Camelot (TV series)|see here]].
