Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaLerner & Loewe’s “Camelot,” that oft-old story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, will return to Broadway featuring a new book by Aaron Sorkin. That creative change may mean that Lancelot and Queen Guinevere will be doing a lot more walk and talks than they did in the original 1960 production or the 1967 film version.The revival, the first since 1993, is being produced by Lincoln Center Theater and will reunite Sorkin with director Bartlett Sher, his collaborator on the mega-hit stage version of “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Lincoln Center says the show has been “reimagined for the 21st century.” Presumably it will still boast the same swooning, soaring, irresistibly hummable music.
Alan Jay Lerner (lyrics) and Frederick Loewe (music), the team behind “My Fair Lady,” really outdid themselves with “Camelot,” which includes such musical theater bangers as “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “What Do the Simple Folk Do?” and the title song. Sher recently helmed the 2018 revival of “My Fair Lady” for, you guessed it, Lincoln Center Theater.
The new production of “Camelot” is scheduled to begin performances on Nov. 3 and open on Dec.
8 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. Casting and the design team for the revival will be announced at a later date.

Surprisingly, Chris Rock wasn’t responsible for the night’s best joke (but he did deliver big on the night’s biggest shocker). Instead, the honors went to the three hosts and the inimitable Jane Campion. Here were the best jokes from the 2022 Oscars.
She couldn’t hold back the giggles! Jessica Chastain was seen bursting into laughter as 2022 Oscars host Amy Schumer roasted Leonardo DiCaprio.
this year's Oscars got a triple dose of comedic talent with hosts Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. The trio took the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood to kick off the star-studded awards show in style.As the ladies took to the stage — following Beyonce's larger-than-life performance of «Be Alive» — they got a brief intro from DJ Khaled who amped up the energy in the room and got everyone in the mood for the the hosts' monologue.«This year, the Academy hired three women to host,» Schumer shared, «because it's cheaper than hiring one man.»The trio also addressed the Oscars' decision to not broadcast a number of the more technical awards.«As many of you know, a decision was made to present some behind-the-scenes awards in the first hour,» Schumer shared.«It was a controversial and difficult decision but I think we've moved on,» Sykes said, as the lighting onstage flickered and buzzed before almost going out.
The Oscars welcomed three hosts this year in Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. But it was Schumer who got the first monologue of the night, and she roasted as many people in the room as she could.To start, the comedian threw a dig at the Oscars as a whole, joking that “The only place I could think of that would be better than this would be … home.” Schumer joked that home is where her family — and her pills — are, before turning her attention to more specific targets.Of course, not all of her subjects enjoyed Schumer’s targeting.
Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaIt’s hard to believe, but it’s been 50 years since Francis Ford Coppola’s”The Godfather” made moviegoers an offer they couldn’t refuse.The film was a sensation when it debuted in March 24, 1972, setting box office records, revitalizing the career of Marlon Brando, launching the likes of Al Pacino, Robert Duvall and James Caan onto the A-list, and scoring an Oscar for Best Picture. But things could have gone very differently. Coppola, an up-and-coming director tasked with bringing Mario Puzo’s best-selling novel to the screen, was hardly the studio’s first choice for the task (Paramount production chief Robert Evans preferred Costa-Gavras).
The newest Dragon to appear in the famous Den, Steven Bartlett, was caught off guard last night when he heard himself being mentioned by Coronation Street characters Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) and Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney). The social media businessman, 29, posted a clip of the Monday 21 March's episode on Twitter with the caption, "Ummm excuse me what ????", as he saw the Weatherfield residents refer to him as the same title of his book, "a happy sexy millionaire".
Steven Bartlett probably wasn't expecting a shout-out on Coronation Street but he certainly got one anyway.
