LE ROI EST MORT. VIVE LE ROI!

The Kodiak Arts Council will present “Camelot” for the spring production. Robert Goulet, who rose to prominence for his performance on Broadway as Lancelot, passed away this week at age 73. In revivals of the show he switched roles playing King Arthur.

Lancelot makes his entrance with the song “C'est moi” showing the arrogance of the young Knight whose hubris is part of the fall of Camelot.

“A knight of the Table Round should be invincible,
Suceed where a less fantastic man would fail.
Climb a wall no one else can climb,
Cleave a dragon in record time,
Swim a moat in a coat of heavy iron mail.
No matter the pain, he ought to be unwinceable,
Impossible deeds should be his daily fare.
But where in the world
Is there in the world
A man so *extraordinaire*?

C'est moi! C'est moi, I'm forced to admit.
'Tis I, I humbly reply.”

Let’s remember Robert as we enjoy this spring’s musical “Camelot”.
