Phillipa Soo and Bartlett Sher on a 'Camelot' for the 21st Century

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 18, 2023

The 1960 musical "Camelot" features a beloved Lerner & Loewe score and won four Tony Awards, but many modern critics agree the book was a bit of a mess.

Sher and Soo join us to discuss "Camelot," which is running now at Lincoln Center.
