Musical Interlude - May:"It's a custom we have here. This is England, you know. And this is the season for gathering flowers."
What better musical for May than this? It's Joshua Logan's 'Camelot' (another Lerner/Lowe musical adaptation), with its stunning cast - Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero - and boasting an impressive list of awards, despite being a commercial failure.
It's fair to say that none of the cast are great singers, but it almost doesn't seem to matter. None are dubbed (unlike 'My Fair Lady') and all give it their best.
Baby It's Cold Outside, or maybe Snowbird, would be appropriate here in Global Warming with Extra Covid plagued bonnie Scotland. Never was "Cast ne'er a cloot till May is oot." more appropriate. And we get to vote! Oh joy is unconfined. Difficult choice because all the main parties' important policies are the same.
I saw the stage show in Edinburgh - '73/74ish?: thought it was awful.
