Camelot 1960 Premiere - Robert Goulet, Julie Andrews and Richard Burton,

The October 1, 1960 pre-Broadway World Premiere of Camelot in Toronto was also the first show at the newly built O'Keefe Center. It was a spectacular and a star studded evening, attended by some of the most important people in show-business, as well as the literally and political circles from all over the world. In this video there are interviews with the legendary Broadway producer Alex Cohen, the one and only Alfred Drake, a very young and lovely Carol Channing, Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (the famous Wayne & Shuster team), Jane Morgan, Marge and Gower Champion. Also an interview with a young and handsome "Sir Lancelot" Robert Goulet. A fascinating and historically significant footage, taking us back to an era when stars looked, dressed and behaved like stars, with their own unique talent, look and personality. I hope you enjoy watching this.

Camelot Premiered for a pre-Broadway at the O'Keefe Center for the Performing Arts in Toronto on October 1, 1960. According to John Kraglund of the Toronto Globe and Mail (October 12, 1960), Goulet, in the role of the brave knight who loves Queen Guenevere, displayed a "strong, pleasant baritone voice, and an apparent acting ability, which seems to be strengthening." A reviewer for Variety (October 5, 1960) wrote that Goulet "has the looks and the speaking and singing voice of the ideal Lancelot," and that he was apparently "destined to scale the heights." After playing in Toronto for twenty-six performances Camelot moved to the Shubert Theater in Boston for four weeks, before it opened at New York's Majestic Theatre on December 3, 1960. It was the most expensive musical that has ever been produced on the Broadway stage. Robert Goulet stopped the show on opening night and evoked applause from the critics. John Chapman of the New York Daily News (December 5, 1960) pronounced Goulet a "fine and handsome baritone," and Walter Kerr of the New York Herald Tribune (December 5, 1960) noted that he played and sang "magnificently." Howard Taubman of the New York Times (December 11, 1960) wrote that Goulet was a "fine performer who deserves a better fate." In Newsday (December 7, 1960) George Oppenheimer observed: "As Lancelot Robert Goulet is a fine figure of a man and the possessor of an excellent voice. He can also act, although he is given little chance to portray anything but a composite portrait of purity and puritanism couchant."
