Show Citizen, Press, Review, Wed., June 25, 1986 - Page 16 Splendor of 'Camelot' thrills audience in ongoing production the music. There is not a bad song in the entire production. Each one is familiar and makes you want to sing along. The accompaniment was by two pianos and the music continued throughout the scene changes. It was done well, although a bit loudly a time or two. Other cast members include Keith Judd, Michelle Palmer, Nathan Day, Jon Carter, Christine Price, Kathleen Reed, Lynne Killian' Nancy Wilson, Marilynne Wright, Karilynne Brown, Joyce Marden, David England, Wayne Prestgard, Rob Pope, Jason Draper, Lynette Seiter, Michael Merrill, Michael Price, Greg Gates, Julie Brown and Lisa Brown. "Camelot" was directed by Cathy Johnston, who did her usual fine job; Lori England, assistant director; Elaine Hansen, choreographer; C. Michael Perry, set design; Doug Bezzant, sound; O. Douglas, Adam Holdaway, Kyle Judson and Blake Sorenson, lighting. "Camelot" will be presented Friday, Saturday and Monday, June 27, 28 and 30 at 7 :30 p.m. at Pleasant Grove Junior High. Tickets are $3.50 for adults and $2.50 for students. Enjoy a night out with a great production. You won't be sorry. .Not often is pne of Broadway's most popular musicals staged in Pleasant Grove with beautiful full stage ses and elegant costuming of the period,-b- ut thai is the case as "Camelot" is being performed currently at Pleasant Grove Junior High School. The audience gave the cast a well deserved standing ovation at the conclusion of Monday's fine size of the stage at the junior high gives the im-pression of wide spaces and does allow the performers a good deal of space tomove about in. Keith' Christeson, producer of "Camelot", remarked earlier that this cast was one of the finest he.had ever worked with. As a reviewer, we would have to agree. With as many fine productions as there are currently in Utah County, 'Keith was fortunate to come up with such an excellent cast, Although all did well there were certainly some standouts Eagerly awaited were the songs sung by David Wright as Lancelot. He has a tremendous - voice and even while speaking he kept the French accent all the time so that it seemed quite authentic. King Arthur, played by Mark Stringer, was superbly cast. It would be hard to imagine hjm playing any other roe except that of Arthur. His humorous body language told a story all by itself. Certainly, Guenevere, "performed by Janet Hall, was a focal point of the production. She is lovely to look at and has a very fine voice. One thing this reviewer noticed was that when Guenevere and Lancelot kissed, it seemed authentic. A far cry from - what is seen in many productions today. Pellinore, the lost king, is the light and humorous role in a rather serious story. Keith Christeson looked like he was having a ball playing this part and the audience loved it when he was on stage. Even though Mordred is the villain in the play, you couldn't help but admire the performance of Tyler Yates, who was cast in the role. Those who have seen the movie "Camelot" on numerous occasions as this reviewer has, would notice that there were some differences in the stage production and the movie, aside from the obvious ones which the freedom of movie making allows. The stage version paints a .good picture, howevr, so that you still underestand what is going on, such as in the jousting scene . ' I was . impressed with the per-formance of the three famous knights, Sir Dinadan, Sir Lionel and Sir Sagamore, played by David Bastian, Grant Draper and Joseph Sorensen, respectively. They could be real knights as far as I am con-cerned. They looked and played the parts verywell. In addition to the terrific costuming and sets for this show was the sound which was the best we've heard in a local production in a long time. It is doubtful that even one word was missed during the production. We don't know where the microphones were located, perhaps on each individual person, but you could not see them.
