The LMTO Chorus
The London Musical Theatre Orchestra is conducted by founder Freddie Tapner who said:
“I’m extraordinarily excited to have this sensational cast join LMTO at the London Palladium for Camelot, led by Olivier Award-winner David Thaxton and Savannah Stevenson. I’m particularly thrilled to introduce opera star, Charles Rice, to musical theatre fans – I know you’ll fall in love with his voice, just as we did at LMTO HQ when we found him. Camelot hasn’t been seen in the West End for 30 years and we can’t wait to share this glorious score with you on Saturday 6 October.”
This much-loved musical brings the legend of King Arthur to vivid life with an extraordinary score and book based on T.H. White’s novel The Once and Future King. Songs include ‘If Ever I Would Leave You’, ‘How to Handle a Woman’, ‘The Lusty Month of May’ and ‘Camelot’.
