I'm not sure how much Broadway JFK saw in general or while he was President, but he apparently made headlines for when he saw "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" on the order of "President Kennedy Learns: How to Succeed". I don't think anything like that was documented about "Camelot" other than Jackie saying after his death that they listened to the recording, and he especially liked it and was inspired by it to some extent.

And to put a final nail in the JFK CAMELOT coffin, Jackie finally confessed that she fabricated the story of hubby's loving the final track, "Don't let it be forgot,..." She just wanted to attribute a noble story to him.

Do you know where Jackie said the story was a fabrication? I have read suggestions that the story was something she made up, but not that she said so.
