Robert Goulet is courting audiences this week at the fabulous

Fox Theatre as King Arthur in the classic Tony award winning

musical "Camelot." This new production of one of Broadway's

best shows will run through Sunday in the first leg of a tour

which then moves on to Kansas City, Memphis, Charlotte and Detroit.

Theatre of the Stars, a civic non-profit cultural organization

now in their 52nd year has assembled a seasoned cast of actors

and actresses to portray the legendary Knights of the Round Table

and their fair maidens.

Things have come full circle for Goulet who originated the role

of Sir Lancelot in the original 1960 production. Having moved

from knight to king, the tale of Arthur resonates anew for the

well-known actor and singer. His credits include over 60 best-selling

albums, numerous television appearances, movies and stage credits

including "Carousel," "Finian's Rainbow," "Gentlemen

Prefer Blondes" and "Man of La Mancha."

The Lerner and Loewe score includes such memorable songs as "If

Ever I Should Leave You," "What Do Simple Folk Do?" "How

To Handle a Woman," and of course, "Camelot."

The other important figures of England's most enduring

tale are Guenevere, played by Teri Hansen; Sir Lancelot played

and Mordred played by Keith Merrill. The show is directed and

choreographed by Norb Joerher. Performances are scheduled for

Tuesday - Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 8 p.m. and Sunday

at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $58 and are

available from Ticketmaster at 404-817-8700 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.
