'Camelot' Reimagined in the Kennedy Era

When: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in June and July
Where: Chattanooga Theatre Centre, 400 River Street
Cost: $15-35

Chattanooga Theatre Centre has reimagined the classic “Camelot” musical to take place in 1960s Mad Men-era. Guinevere, King Arthur's lovely wife, encourages him to establish the Knights of the Round Table. As the Knights grow in fame, Lancelot Du Lac becomes the most celebrated of all of them, and rumors begin to circulate about his affair with Guinevere. Can Camelot be the idealistic place of Arthur's dreams? The memorable score includes "If Ever I Would Leave You," "C'est Moi," "What Do the Simple Folks Do?" and the title song, “Camelot."
