Trivia:
Because this production follows the 1967 movie screenplay and not the original 1960 stage version, the character Nimue, a mysterious spirit who leads Merlin away from Camelot forever, does not appear in this version. In the 1960 stage version, she sang the song "Follow Me" (with different lyrics) to entice Merlin. moreQuotes:

The opening includes beautiful glowing night-shots of Manhattan with the overture of Camelot, as if Manhattan was the legendary kingdom itself, and the Wintergarten is the palace. Behind the curtain is a lavish production with gorgeous costumes and sets. Better singing and acting with real emotion. In this version Guinevere and Lancelot are not portrayed as lust-driven traitor-friends... but quiet lovers who suffer greatly because they both love the King, and each other. It is passionate, sad, and shows the vulnerability with much grace. Not to mention, the comical lines are laughable in this version... unlike the movie musical. The joyful spots are truly memorable and funny. All-in-all the best version I have ever seen and the performances are wonderful. SO grateful this is finally out on DVD!!!!!
