I watched the broadcast of Camelot from the New York Philharmonic last night on PBS TV.  I never liked the book for that show, and I still don’t, but I enjoyed the performance because of the songs.  Nathan Gunn as Lancelot was the best of the singers, and he acted well too.  He was even better than I had thought he would be.  I thought Gabriel Byrne was good enough as Arthur.  Marin Mazzie as Guinivere would be OK for summer stock, but for a television broadcast she had too matronly a persona for the role and not an especially pretty voice.  Fran Drescher with her Nanny voice as Morgan le Fey was not funny.
