The Riverside Center for the Performing Arts in Fredericksburg is currently presenting Lerner and Loewe’s classic musical “Camelot,” but with a twist: it actually tells the stories of two Camelots!

[Free Lance-Star] Theater Review: ‘Camelot’ at Riverside: a tale of two leaders
Lerner and Loewe’s “Camelot” is the kind of show audiences can get lost in—a sweeping tale of knights and romance in a faraway land—all set to a gorgeous score. However, Riverside Center for the Performing Arts brings this mythical story closer to home.
Riverside reimagines the beloved musical with an ambitious undertaking that marries the past with the present. “Camelot,” spearheaded by producing artistic director Patrick A’Hearn, connects the Arthurian legend with the Kennedy administration often referred to as the Camelot era. The musical was a favorite of President John F. Kennedy, and his wife, Jackie, cemented the association after his death.

The performances and vocals are stunning, and the live music continues to earn accolades as one of Riverside’s biggest draws.
Riverside Center for the Performing Arts presents Camelot, with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. David Lee’s book adaptation streamlines the production, and Director Patrick A’Hearn further restructures the show by blending history and legend. Camelot has long been associated with the Kennedy administration for a variety of reasons, and A’Hearn’s imaginative version celebrates this bond, resulting in a truly unique and interesting experience.
