Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "The classic Lerner and Loewe musical focuses on the power of human emotions to disrupt even the best of intentions. It's not just the love triangle and the push-pull of loyalties and affections between King Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot that bring the kingdom to ruin. The musical's creators also place much of the blame on Mordred, Arthur's nasty illegitimate son, as well as Arthur's inability to heed Merlin's lessons."

Review: The Public goes big for 'Camelot'

Considering that the article mentions how scenic elements typically seem too large for the venue, then why would Noone design such a large set, one that, from the sounds of it, distracts from and overpowers the performers, who are also slightly overbearing. The thing that seems to be the correct scale is the oprchestra, having only eight. We talk about scope of show, and maybe as far as resources the show had the capability to be as large as it is, but it sounds like perhaps the show was too large and resources should have gone into other departments, such as outreach since the author of the comment notes that the piece is enjoyable to watch.
