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.
Here is more information on Camelot
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."

thank you...this brought back so many memories. I saw this show on Broadway when I was a teen ager and I actually interviewed Goulet for my high school newspaper. It was quite a thrill to go back stage and into his dressing room with all the fuss and hub bub going on back stage. . He was quite a handsome man and he was incredibly kind and patient with us . It was the third Broadway Show I had seen and it was beautiful and sumptuous and the music was thrilling.

Well Vera, as a big fan of Camelot and of Mr.Goulet all the way back to the start, may i say that he was the greatest Lancelot of all. I thoroughly enjoyed his career, especially the Sullivan Show appearances and all his many other TV engagements. He was an extraordinary singer and he is surely missed.

Thanks for sharing this Vera. It is refreshing to watch unscripted interviews. To see Bob on the cusp of stardom really captured his genuineness. Also, it was terrific to see the clip of him singing his signature song. It truly was the best rendetion I have ever had the pleasure to see.

Thanks so much, Mrs. Goulet, for the interview with Mr. Goulet and the gorgeous clip from ED SULLIVAN. I met Mr. Goulet in 1970 at the Colonie Coliseum in Latham, NY, where he gave an amazing concert. I regret that he's no longer with us, but he was certainly one of the greatest musical theater stars who ever lit up the Great White Way.

Thank you so much for posting this history Mrs Goulet. I saw Robert Goulet in Camelot on Broadway in 1961. It was fantastic!!! I was in high school and my father took me to New York city with him and to this show... He took me backstage and I got autographs- Mr Goulet and Julie Andrews and Richard Burton - what a thrill for a midwestern girl (from Michigan). I was just in Love w Lancelot and his voice of course! I wish someone had a tape of the play to post. God Bless you and your family

There's one major difference in today's theatre, When Robert Goulet sings you can tell that he simple believes what he is doing. He is not in a musical but truly in the moment of the music itself. Every performance I see today, I am too aware that the actors are acting and that it is just a show. Thank you Vera for your wonderful post.

Thank you, Vera! I saw Bob as Lancelot at the O'Keefe when I was in my teens, and later took my daughter to see him as Arthur. He was marvellous in both roles, but I still love to hear him sing "If ever I would leave you." I remember clearly all the excitement about the opening of the O'Keefe.

Thank you Mrs. Goulet for being a rather kind quencher for my thirst for Julie Andrews' voice. I will also have to dig deeper. There was a forum for such broadway shows and it was there where I learned that a man in NY color-taped many shows from the 50s and 60s, Camelot happened to be one of them. A color clip from the actual show is often showed on broadway based documentaries. Also, a live voice-only recording of this show exists. I have a copy if you would like.

Thanks for bring these gems back to the public that can only dream to be there. I was wondering Mr. Goulet's performance here was from the Ed Sullivan Show? I am surprised that CBC did not video tape the entire show, but maybe they did, someone just hasn't found it yet. I recall this one man taped it live in color in NYC. But he refuses to give the full tape. Did Ms.Andrews sing The Lusty Month of May during the Ed Sullivan show? Thanks again!

My pleasure Shams. Yes you are correct it was from the Ed Sullivan show. I was told that they did and I am still trying to find if those tapes exist. Who is the man in NY. I will double check and let you know if Julie sand "Lusty Month"

www.elyrics.net/read/r/robert-goulet-lyrics/if-ever-i-would-leave-you-lyrics.html For those who can't wait, *Robert Goulet* appears @ 7:17 & 13:04. But the initial & intervening material is worth wading through (it only seems that way). And it is fascinating background.

Yes the video is fascinating and historically very interesting. Glad you enjoyed it. Vera Goulet

I think that there are so few pure and clean baritones left nowadays, and people now listen to such trashy music. Although Broadway is still great now, it will never be the same as before. I wish that I could have seen old Broadway with people like Julie Andrews and Robert Goulet. I was certainly born in the wrong time period!
@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY
+Lily Evans Lily Broadway's Golden Age was a phenomenal! My husband is considered to be one of the greatest baritones of our time and there will never be another like him. Vera Goulet

Today Donald J Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United Sates of America. We , the ones who love President Trump waited 57 years for Camelot to return back to us after President Kennedy's assassination. What a relieve to have this wonderful gift given to all of us once again during our lifetimes. This has been such a very wonderful and beautiful day for this great Nation!!! Thank you God Almighty for restoring Camelot for us to enjoy once again, and thank you are great but humble President Trump and Vice President Pence!!!!

You're comparing Kennedy to Trump? You do have problems.
@shawnmalone9711
@shawnmalone9711 7 лет назад
robert roberson There is no comparison. Kennedy towered head and shoulders above Trump. Kennedy gave people hope that our lives could be better. He gave us "High Hopes". Maybe you should watch My Fair Lady. Could we make Trump a great president? I doubt it. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Trump came out of the gutter and he'll return to the gutter .

@JustMe-ce8we 7 лет назад
Well spoken by two very liberal Dummyrats that have yet to come to terms with the fact that Hillcary is and NEVER will be your President. You might try doing some in depth research as to just how much these two Presidents Trump and Kennedy have in common, you might just even surprise yourselves,NOT, just a hint, you need to take your jackass blinders off first to really discover and appreciate the truth!!!!
@shawnmalone9711
@shawnmalone9711 7 лет назад
Well, well another typical response from a Trumptard. Always angry because you can' t handle the truth. Trump wants to cut funding for the arts. You slavering assholes haven't the balls to join the military. Kennedy was a hero, Trump was a draft dodger. Now assume your fetal position and continue sucking your thumb repubtard!

@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY
+japluspmc You left out talented. Sorry you are not a fan... but as the saying goes, "you can win them all" None the less, I would say my husband did pretty well minus one fan. Vera Goulet
@robbey10
@robbey10 8 лет назад
Honestly, I don't know how anyone could not be a fan, unless you just don't like musical theatre. He is so natural! He can act and sing and if you have seen his version of Carousel, far better than Gordon McCrea, and I am a big Gordon McCrea too. Brigadoon he brought the singing back into it. whereas the movie concentrated on the dance. Kiss Me Kate, he was the perfect Petrucio!
@raecoyote
@raecoyote 7 лет назад
japluspmc why say, "I am not a fan", or more to the point, why would you feel the need to add that? Why not just say that you though he was handsome & charming? Did it make you feel good to add the last part? Sorry, I'm always surprised at people's arrogance & thoughtlessness
@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY
Thank you Robert I appreciate your kind comments about my Robert and for recognizing his talent. Vera Goulet
@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY
Yes the arrogance also amazes me Divine Miss B, but in this case I have to smile because none knows who japluspmc is, or cares for that matter, but my husband continues to give joy to people throughout his recordings, films, TV shows and videos. The talent continues to be appreciated and the legacy goes on. All the best. Vera Goulet

Goulet had the looks, the voice, -- but never the HEART -- for this or any other role he attempted to sing. Too bad NATHAN GUNN wasn't avilable for this world premiere!
