And in Sher and Sorkin, they are turning to two of the most successful artists in modern theater, a duo who joined forces in 2018 to turn "To Kill a Mockingbird" into the highest-grossing American play in Broadway history. FEATURES It's the second day of tech rehearsals for the new adaptation of Lerner and Loewe's "Camelot", the 1960 musical based on the Arthurian legend - this time rewritten by Aaron Sorkin - at the Vivian Beaumont in Lincoln Center. Merlin, Arthur's mentor, is dead, and Arthur, devastated, wonders how he'll be able to create a new order in Camelot - in which everyone has a voice and laws are just - without the man on whom he relies for guidance. Guenevere and Lancelot don't even kiss in this new version, understanding how disastrous that would be, until one night when Arthur's illegitimate son, who lusts for the throne, manipulates the situation so that the two are thrown together and make love while Arthur is away.
