Aaron Sorkin's 'Camelot' revival: A bittersweet twist on a classic tale.

The Lincoln Center Theater's revival of "Camelot" with a rewrite by Aaron Sorkin fails to lift the curse of the musical's spoken interludes bogging down the heavenly score by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. The production's lavish assets include a gorgeous scenic design and an interestingly moody performance by Phillipa Soo. However, the vacuuming out of the mystical side of the story serves a political agenda better than a romantic musical, leaving behind lots of conversations about forging an equitable society and the unraveling of a bloodless, arranged royal marriage.

Aaron Sorkin's 'Camelot' revival enchants Broadway audiences.

Lincoln Center Theater's revival of the musical "Camelot" features a reconstructed book by Aaron Sorkin that emphasizes nation-building and political reform, but falls short in dialogue. Despite its flaws, the production succeeds in its grand gestures and irresistible melodies, with standout performances by Jordan Donica and Phillipa Soo. Director Bartlett Sher effectively manages the motion onstage, transitioning between scenes to elevate the audience into a heightened reality. The show's mythic ending convinces viewers they've seen something greater than they have, making them believe in the dreams for a kingdom that never existed.

Aaron Sorkin's Stroke Scare: A Wake-Up Call for the Acclaimed Writer

Aaron Sorkin, the writer of the new "Camelot" musical adaptation, revealed that he suffered a stroke last November, which resulted in his blood pressure being so high that "you're supposed to be dead." Sorkin said that the main lingering effect is that he still can't really taste food. He decided to talk about it with The New York Times because "if it'll get one person to stop smoking, then it'll be helpful." Sorkin's "Camelot" is now in previews and has an opening night set for April 13.
