| Question: Did Robert Goulet ever get over the title billing during the run, as the reissued (or 2nd cover) of the cast album has him to the right of Richard Burton and Julie Andrews above the title? | |

| Yes. After Andrews left, he was above the title with William Squire (replacement Arthur who was billed to the right of Andrews above the title while she still in the show) and the various Gueneveres after Andrews, who were to the right of Squire, and then Goulet was on the far right. | |

| Thanks, Alan. Would Kathryn Grayson probably have gotten left side billing when she took over Guenevere due to her movie fame? Some interesting cast changes -- Madeleine Sherwood as Morgan LeFey, John Cullum as Mordred (usually think of a young somewhat charactery juvenile for the role) and Arthur Treacher as Pellinore, plus Mary Sue Berry whose "Follow Me" is lovely on the OCR was actually the understudy for Nimue. Also Inga Swenson was Julie Andrews' standby. | |

| I saw Arthur Treacher in the First National. And at about the same time (I was in middle school), a stock tour that had Howard Keel, Constance Towers, and as Mordred, a young man named Jon Voight. | |

| Delvino, I saw Jon Voight as an unforgettable Rodolfo in what I remember as a sensational production of A View from the Bridge at the old downtown Circle-in-the-Square theater in 1965/66. I was one of a few students brought there by my high school English teacher. I had seen a few Broadway shows by then but never any professional theater performed in the round in such a tiny space. All revivals of that play have failed to measure up to that production. And years later, when I looked at the playbill, I noticed Dustin Hoffman was listed as the Assistant Stage Manager. Sorry to digress from all the good Camelot memories :) |

| What perfect casting. That would be within a year of his Mordred. He was a charismatic young actor with a defining vulnerability. | |
