| Friends who were there last night also said that Soo was barely audible when singing. | |

| I was there on Thursday night. Totally misguided production. Soo, Burnap miscast; Soo can't be heard 2nd understudy for Lance was on; good for him for getting through it but his singing voice is disappointing and he had little sex appeal Sorkin's updates are too contemporary, cynical, jargony and feminist There is a vocal moment from an ensemble member in act 2 that is beyond ridiculous Gorgeous opening (all downhill from there) |

| I agree. Underwhelming is the nicest word for this production. | |

| Curiously, I had no trouble hearing Soo singing last night from Row G, and the sound was generally well-balanced between orchestra and singers. Matias De La Flor is the name of the understudy who was on for Jordan Donica, and I thought he did a fine job. I was mostly bored by the show, despite some lovely music and a mostly excellent cast. I am not very familiar with Camelot, so I don't know how much to blame on the new book, but I didn't get invested in the plot or any of the characters. I particularly disliked the awkward speeches about democracy and the lame jokes. |

| I thought Matias De La Flor was a good Lancelot but his singing was not as powerful as I would have liked. It’s not in the same league as Donica’s voice. I am returning to see Camelot because I have a dual Lincoln Center membership. Perhaps I will try sitting in Row G. I sat in the first row and some of the miking was faint. |

| I was in G501 Thursday night! Great sight lines of a handsome production! I had no issue with the sound or that the knights all looked alike ( bald bearded belters ). Having read T.H. White I was disappointed the magic was erased: "Dragon" left in the lyrics of "I Wonder What The King Is Doing Tonight" with dialogue hinting WHY it was left in but cut from "C'est Moi". Morgan Le Fey is now a scientist and not a sorceress ( I still recall she once lived in a house made of food ). Even with the tweaking I had a great 2.55 hours of entertainment! The audience rooted for u/s Matias De La Flor who had a fine voice and could handle a blade! | |
